It’s hard to resist giving your Shih Tzu a treat every time you look into those adorable, pleading eyes but treats should be doled out sparingly — no more than two a day. Shih Tzus can become overweight easily because of their small size. Look for healthy dog treats like these found right in your own fridge:
- One or two blueberries
- Very small broccoli florets (about an inch long)
- One baby carrot
- Tiny bits of cooked chicken, turkey, or fish
- Small pieces of strawberry
- Small chunks of hardboiled egg white
- Tiny pieces of raw apple
- Spoonful of nonfat plain yogurt
- Spoonful of lowfat cottage cheese
- A couple of Cheerios
