Shih Tzus are prone to matting, and are most likely to develop within friction areas.
Shih Tzu grooming is an interesting case, their hair is straight and very fine, but their coats can be quite thick. You’ll need a strong pair of grooming clippers to get through their thick coat, but the clippers themselves should be easy to handle. A quick bath will extend the life of your clippers, and make the groom much more comfortable. Click here to learn more about how to groom a dog for 11 more years.

Shih Tzus are prone to matting, and are most likely to develop within friction areas. Think of the areas that rub the most on your dog: between their legs, around their collar, under the ears, and around their butt. Sometimes these can be brushed out, other times the matting is too thick and we have to shave them out.
