Shih Tzu Adult is formulated for purebred Shih Tzus 10 months and older. Its first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are brewers rice, brown rice, chicken by-product meal, chicken fat and oat groats, three grain ingredients ahead of the rendered chicken meal. The recipe guarantees a specific vitamin A minimum, 18,900 IU/kg, in addition to EPA, DHA, biotin and omega fatty acid figures, one of the more detailed guarantee lists among the toy breed formulas in this slice. Royal Canin states the kibble shape, size and texture are designed for the breed to pick up and chew. Feeding portions run from 3/4 cup to 1.5 cups daily depending on the dog's weight, roughly 4 to 7 kg, and activity level. Bag sizes are 2.5 lb and 10 lb. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
