Health Benefits

How Fresh Food Helps Shih Tzus

Shih Tzus have specific health tendencies. Here's how fresh, gently cooked food addresses each one:

Sensitive Digestion

The issue: Shih Tzus are prone to digestive upset from processed foods.

How McDuffy helps: Gently cooked fresh food is 95% digestible vs kibble at 50-60%. Real ingredients are easier on their stomach.

Skin & Coat Issues

The issue: Their long, dense coat requires proper fatty acid balance to stay healthy.

How McDuffy helps: Omega-3s from sardines and natural oils in fresh food promote a shinier, healthier coat with less shedding.

Eye Health

The issue: Shih Tzus are prone to eye conditions due to their flat face.

How McDuffy helps: Vitamin A from carrots and sweet potatoes in our recipes supports eye health naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shih Tzu Nutrition FAQ

How much McDuffy should I feed my Shih Tzu?
A typical Shih Tzu (4-8kg) needs 100-200g of fresh food per day, which is about 6-12 bags per month on a full fresh food plan. Use our feeding calculator for a personalized recommendation.
Which McDuffy recipe is best for Shih Tzus?
We recommend Farmyard Feast — the chicken and pork base is gentle on their sensitive digestion, while moringa and squash support coat health. All four recipes are AAFCO balanced and suitable.
Can Shih Tzu puppies eat McDuffy?
Yes! All McDuffy recipes are AAFCO balanced for all life stages, including puppies from 4 weeks old. Puppies need more food relative to body weight — about 4-6% of their weight daily.
Will fresh food help my Shih Tzu with tear stains?
Many Shih Tzu parents report reduced tear staining within 4-6 weeks of switching to fresh food. Removing processed ingredients and artificial additives often helps reduce excessive tearing.
