Feed the Right Amount of Food
It’s tempting to just fill up your Shih Tzu’s bowl and call it a day, but this can lead to overeating. You want to make sure that you are feeding your pet according to the pet food manufacturer’s guidelines. If your pet has special dietary considerations, you may want to consult your vet as well. Like humans, pets may overeat for no reason, especially if they’re bored. You don’t want them to have access to food at all times because sometimes, a dog cannot control him or herself. That doesn’t mean that you want to deprive your friend, either. Make sure that your pet is always fed at the scheduled times and receives the same amount each time. This leads to another helpful tip: keep your pet on a feeding schedule.
