First, a dog will eat human food over dog food any day. Human food messes with a dogs natural digestive bacterial function. Feed your dog only dog food, Iams or any other food is fine. It may take a while, your dog will eat the dog food when it gets hungry enough, it won't starve waiting for human food. Make sure there is water along side of the food.

Any reputable puppy chow will be fine. Try not to let him start eating too much human food A fat shih tzu is NOT a pretty sight. Mine is addicted to veggies & fruit. He'll eat a slice of cucumber before a piece of steak & will not eat dog food if his greens are available.

When I was a kid I had a shitzu for 13 years. He ate dry dog food, and he loved salad for some reason. Occasanional hotdog, hamburger, bacon was ok for mine.

ooo, i have a shih Tzu by him some wet dog food called Ol' roy, give small amounts three times a day, get hard dog food to, small dog puppy pedigree is good. Make sure he eats the dry dog food. mine has some bathroom problem- besically the dry food helps him "go poop". lol. they really enjoy the wt food. I'm guessing that she's a puppy so dont give her too much to eat cause they'll thro it up if they over eat, if she doesnt chew her food up- they'll thro that up too, He also LOVES hotdogs, just the weiner part is fine.
