@littlemisssmollie: After bath brush and blow dry. Long hair shih tzu can be a challenge to keep tangle free. I like to brush in sections. I Brush every day and bathe with an oatmeal shampoo weekly. Shih Tzus typically begin shedding their puppy coat and transitioning to their adult coat around 4 to 6 months of age. This shedding phase may continue intermittently throughout the year, and the shedding intensity tends to increase as they approach their first birthday, usually between 9 and 12 months. During this time, their coat may appear patchy and uneven as the adult fur takes its place. This phase is when you'll have lots of tangles. If you can get through this phase without cutting their hair, it will become so much easier to maintain. #shihtzu #shihtzuhair #onthisday
