Delicious candy alternatives: While it's good to know which candies a Shih Tzu can and can't eat, it's best to offer a snack that's formulated for canines. So, if you want to give your sweetie a treat on Halloween, consider a pumpkin goodie to help celebrate Halloween.
One option is Pumpkin Biscuit Treats by Crafted by Humans Loved by Dogs. These are made-in-the-USA, 100% all-natural, grain-free, human-grade treats with limited ingredients (perfect for Shih Tzu dogs with sensitive tummies)
And if your Shih Tzu likes bold flavors, consider Bocce Bakery Pumpkin and Spice Treats Dog Treats. These are soft, chewy cookies made with pumpkin, peanut butter and cinnamon. They're also 100% all-natural, with limited ingredients.
There's so many adorable options, but here are our top 3 picks for maximum cuteness:
#1: A Cute Bee Costume that's very fancy. It starts at size medium (that is actually like a small; for dogs about 7 lbs.) and it has Velcro for easy on and off and to customize the fit.
#2: An absolutely Adorable Frog Costume. We love this one because it's a soft hoodie sweatshirt that looks like a friendly frog (there's also a carrot, apple and banana), so this is a great choice for a very comfortable option. This starts at size extra-small, making it ideal for both puppies and adults.
#3: A regal Royal Cloak Costume Cape, worthy of this regal breed. This cape is very majestic and since it drapes over a dog's shoulders, it's super-easy to put on and off. It starts at size extra-small and goes up from there.
