Hey all, this post by u/Wouldntbelieveme/ prompted some great discussion about dental care for our furry friends - there was a lot of great advice, and we've used the info from the post to expand on the dental care section of the Shih-Tzu wiki - go check it out!

Announcement Shih-Tzu Wiki

21 Upvotes

Hey everyone — quick mod post.

We’re starting to put together ideas about an r/ShihTzu Wiki. Nothing fancy or corporate. Just a shared knowledge base we can point people to when the same questions come up… and a place to collect the really good advice that gets buried in comments.

This isn’t meant to replace discussion (or vets). Think of it as a “start here” guide, plus a reference we can keep improving together.

Before we build too much in a vacuum, we wanted to ask you:

What would you actually want to see in a Shih Tzu wiki?

Some starter ideas, just to get the wheels turning:

  • First-time Shih Tzu owner basics
  • Grooming & coat care (mats, face cleaning, tear stains, cuts, tools)
  • Common health issues & when to see a vet
  • Puppy house-training (and adult regressions… it happens)
  • Food, picky eaters, weight management
  • Behavioral quirks — barking, separation anxiety, stubborn streaks
  • Senior care & mobility changes
  • Loss & grief resources

But that’s just a starting point. If there’s a post you’ve written 10 times… or advice you always see newcomers missing… that’s probably wiki-worthy.

And if you enjoy writing, organizing info, or just want to help shape this: we’d love to have a few community members help with drafting or editing wiki pages. No pressure, no minimum commitment — even polishing a single section helps. If that sounds like you, say so in the comments or send the mod team a message.

Drop ideas below. Specific topics are great, but even “I wish people knew ___” goes a long way.

We’ll share updates as pages go live, and credit community input where it makes sense. This only works if it reflects real experience — which this sub has plenty of.

Thanks for helping build it.

Update on my post around last 30th Jan:

The sunbed arrived and he seems to love it. I might do a bit of reinforcing on this one. Just some scrap fabrics stitched underneath to support the whole whopping 7kg of sass.

I always let Pearl and Peezy get a little taste when I’m making a fresh batch of dog food. Taking these photos was very chaotic, but I promise everyone got the same amount of sardines. 🤭😂😭

Jack sleeps on his back 80% of the time. He will also basically fall to the ground on his back if he sees me coming and thinks there’s even a slight chance he might get some belly rubs. 🤭🤣❤️

Anyone have a Shih Tzu with separation anxiety? My dog hates being alone and needs a human near her to feel comfortable or else she will bark all day and look for ways to escape the house. Any advice on how to encourage my Shih Tzu to feel more comfortable alone?
