🛏️ Creating the Perfect Sleeping Space for Your Shih Tzu

Every Shih Tzu deserves a cozy, calm place to rest. In this post, learn how to create the perfect sleeping setup for your furry friend!

🧺 1. Choose the Right Bed

A Shih Tzu’s bed should be:

• Soft and padded for joint support

• Low-sided for easy entry (especially for puppies or seniors)

• Made with washable material

🛏️ Orthopedic or memory foam beds are great for extra comfort!

📍 2. Pick the Right Spot in Your Home

Place your pup’s bed:

• In a quiet corner with little foot traffic

• Away from windows or cold drafts

• Near you — they love to feel close to their humans! 💞

🌙 Avoid loud rooms like the kitchen or entryways.

🌡️ 3. Keep It Warm and Cozy

Shih Tzus are indoor dogs with a small body size — they can get chilly easily!
Add:

• A soft blanket

• A heating pad (pet-safe) for colder nights

• A small plush toy or pillow for snuggling

🐾 Bonus: Use items that smell like you to help them feel secure. 

🧼 4. Keep It Clean & Fresh

Wash the bed and blankets at least once a week to prevent:

• Allergens

• Dust mites

• Bad smells

🧽 Use pet-safe laundry detergent and rinse well.

🔕 5. Create a Bedtime Routine

Dogs love routine. Help your Shih Tzu wind down by:

• Calming cuddles or brushing before bed 🪮

• A short potty walk 🚶‍♀️

• Turning off loud noises or bright lights

📱 You can even play soft music or use a pet-safe calming diffuser.

🐶 Final Woof

Your Shih Tzu’s sleeping space should be a little retreat — quiet, comfy, and full of love. 💖

A well-rested Shih Tzu is a healthy, happy companion who’s ready to play, learn, and cuddle with you every day!
