Shih Tzu Grooming in Bristol
Shih Tzus are small dogs with long, flowing double coats. Originally bred as palace dogs in China, their luxurious coats need significant care to remain tangle-free.

£40–£70. Shih Tzu coats are long and luxurious — grooming frequency is high.
Recommended grooming rhythm
Shih Tzus need grooming every 4–6 weeks. Many owners keep their dogs in a "puppy cut" (short all over) for easier daily maintenance.
PetGroom recommends planning the next groom every 5 weeks for most Shih Tzus, with a reminder 10 days in advance.
Care timeline
After the requested appointment, we would remind you 10 days before the next recommended groom on 2026-05-14.
At-home care: Daily brushing plus keeping the face and eye area clean helps prevent discomfort.
Why this matters: Without frequent trims the coat mats, traps debris, and quickly becomes uncomfortable.

- Rushed appointments with no time to assess coat condition
