Shih Tzus are adorable companions with luxurious coats that deserve expert care. From practical puppy cuts to elegant top knots, we help your Shih Tzu look and feel their best.
Book Shih Tzu GroomingShih Tzus are one of the most charming small breeds, known for their flowing coats and sweet personalities. Originally bred as companions for Chinese royalty, these little lions deserve the royal treatment when it comes to grooming.
At Dog Grooming Edmond, we have years of experience grooming Shih Tzus of all ages. Whether you prefer a short, easy-care puppy cut or want to maintain a longer, flowing coat, our skilled groomers deliver beautiful results with gentle care.
Puppy Cut: The most popular choice for pet Shih Tzus! Body trimmed to a uniform ½ to 1 inch, with a rounded face and trimmed ears. Easy to maintain, stays cleaner longer, and keeps your Shih Tzu comfortable in Oklahoma's weather.
Teddy Bear Cut: Body at 1-2 inches with a fuller, rounder face that emphasizes those adorable Shih Tzu eyes. Ears can be left longer for a soft frame. The quintessential "stuffed animal" look.
Top Knot Style: Body kept short or medium length while the hair on top of the head is left long and tied up with a bow or band. A classic Shih Tzu look that's both practical and elegant.
Lion Cut: Short body with a full mane around the head and chest, plus a pom-pom on the tail tip. A fun, distinctive style that gives your Shih Tzu a regal appearance.
Show Coat: Long, flowing coat maintained at full length with regular trimming for shape. Requires daily brushing at home but showcases the breed's stunning silky coat.
Face Trim: We carefully trim around the eyes for better visibility and to reduce tear staining, shape the mustache, and tidy the beard for a clean, polished look.
Custom Style: Have a Pinterest photo or specific vision? We love creating custom looks — just show us what you have in mind!
Shih Tzus have double coats that can mat quickly if not properly maintained. Even with a shorter puppy cut, regular brushing at home is important. For longer coats, daily brushing is essential.
Pay special attention to areas prone to matting: behind the ears, under the legs, and around the collar area. Use a pin brush for the topcoat and a comb to check for mats close to the skin.
Because Shih Tzus have prominent eyes, they're prone to tear staining. Gently cleaning around the eyes daily with a damp cloth helps prevent staining and keeps your pup comfortable.
We understand that small breeds like Shih Tzus need extra gentle handling. Our one-on-one grooming approach means your Shih Tzu gets patient, focused attention throughout their entire grooming session. We take our time, especially with face work, ensuring your pup stays calm and comfortable.
