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.
