#1 A Flower Garden Snuffle Mat
A snuffle mat is a specially designed dog toy that engages a dog's natural instinct to forage and hunt for food. For Shih Tzus, who are known for their intelligence and playful nature, snuffle mats offer an excellent way to provide mental stimulation and encourage independent play. These mats are typically made from layers of fabric, often fleece, which are arranged to create various pockets and flaps where treats can be hidden.
With this in mind, your Shih Tzu will have lots of fun with the Snuffle Mat by Oliumt, which is flower-themed with lots of happy colors and many hiding areas. It’s designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind. There’s a large, colorful flower in the center, surrounded by various intricate puzzles that can hide treats within the dense, multi-layered fabric. The mat is made of comfortable polar fleece, which is gentle on a dog’s nose as they forage around and the bottom is non-slip.
This is sort of flower item is ideal for rainy days, if you want your Shih Tzu to stay busy or any time when you want to encourage independent play and activity.
#2 A Healthy Cherry Blossom Coat Spray
If you’re looking for a nice way to incorporate flowers into your Shih Tzu care items, look no further than Nootie Japanese Cherry Blossom Daily Spritz. We recommend a leave-in spray like this to be in a Shih Tzu’s regular grooming routine for many reasons: It helps protect the coat from the sun’s UV rays, helps repel allergens, irritants and even urine splashes, it keeps away tangles, helps prevent split ends when brushing and of course can keep a dog smelling nice and clean.
This spray is one of our favorites because of Nootie’s natural ingredients with no parabens, dyes or harsh chemicals, it’s correctly pH balanced for puppies and dogs (both important aspects for skin health) and the scent is refreshing without being overwhelming.
#3 A Flowering Cactus “Rip Away” Dog Toy
If your Shih Tzu’s in need of a new, stimulating toy, you may want to check this Consuela the Cactus 2 in 1 Interactive Toy. If you’re not familiar with this type of toy, it offers an outer layer with a special ‘rip away’ design that reveals another toy inside. Some dogs take weeks to figure it out and others nail it a lot quicker, but either way, it’s entertaining and lots of fun. This cactus has a pretty pink flower on it and once it’s opened, there’s a round “baby cactus” squeaker toy inside that’s pretty indestructible.
We love this because it’s a great size (choose the small) for Shih Tzu pups and adults and the novelty can keep your sweetie busy for quite some time. Best of all, there’s no fluff, so it’s safe and doesn’t make a mess. It’s a fun and cute addition to a Shih Tzu’s toy collection. If you see that your Shih Tzu loves this flower themed toy and you’re looking for more, there’s also a size small pea pod, pineapple and acorn design to choose from.
#4 All-natural Flower Power Dog Treats
We know you understand the importance of dog treats for your Shih Tzu being free of synthetic additives, chemical preservatives and food dyes, so we know you’ll love these Botanical Bones Flower Power Treats for your sweetie-pie.
These are made-in-the-USA, small crunchy goodies with a high emphasis on clean, wholesome, limited ingredients, along with some amazing holistic elements. This recipe of Flower Power Treats by Botanical Bones focuses on a dog’s longevity. All ingredients are human-grade. It’s a base of organic peanut butter and includes red clover flower (an anti-inflammatory, rich in vitamins C and K and calcium, aids in digestion) and reishi mushrooms (contains beta-glucans to support the immune system and is both a natural anti-histamine and stress reducer). Other ingredients include pumpkin, chia seeds, flax seeds, blueberries and coconut oil, so this is beneficial for good skin health and is rich in antioxidants.
Another reason to love these are the two other options of an Inner Glow recipe focusing on a dog’s healthy digestive system and Balance & Calm which is wonderful for anxious dogs.
#5 An Adorable Hawaiian Shirt for Either Gender
A Hawaiian shirt like the United Pups Luau Style Hawaiian Shirt for Dogs can be a delightful addition to your Shih Tzu's wardrobe, perfect for those warm, sunny days when you and your little guy or gal are out and about. Many dogs enjoy the extra attention they receive when sporting cute clothing, and this flower-themed shirt is sure to turn heads.
It’s crafted from a soft cotton blend fabric with 4% spandex, providing just enough stretch for a comfortable and snug fit. It's functional, too, with a cutout in the back to accommodate a harness connection, ensuring your Shih Tzu stays secure while looking stylish. It starts at size 1 and goes up to size 5 (there’s a helpful sizing guide), so there should be size for your Shih Tzu no matter their age.
With this shirt that we’re loving, there’s 3 color options: a red base, ocean blue base and black base, all with Hawaiian flowers, of course.
