Royal Canine offers excellent dog foods for a wide variety of puppies and dogs! I raised my 2 year old Bichon- ShihZu on this puppy food ... she loved it & with confidence I know it provides her all the nutritional care she needed as a pup and to this day she still enjoys an occasional little dish of “puppy cookies”. You might check to see if RC has “ Puppy Poodle” food. It is truly designed to meet the needs of your dog breed. For example the curved shape of the shihZu puppy food is purposefully curved due to the breeds under bite I learned about RC through my Vet at the time .. it’s the only brand they carried. Find the one for you and a big yes... you will be pleased. All the best to you and your pup! **Q: I have a Shih tzu and Pomeranian mix. would this be good for my 3.5 month old pup?** A: Yes, I think so. I give it 2 my Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise mix [Teddy Bear] so I think you are good w/it. The size and shape of the nugget is great for their little mouths! Good luck! **Q: Royal Caine for 6 week old poodle He will be 3 lbs fully grown** A: Already answered **Q: Why does shipping take so long. Not a good way to keep customers!** A: Most manufacturers in US had to retool due to covid distance restriction this has slowed product. Set up ordering on subscriptions this will make sure you get product each month. I have all dog food set up this way it is so easy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Royal Canin® Breed Health Nutrition® Shih Tzu Puppy Dry Dog Food, 2.5 lb - Royal Canin Shih Tzu Adult Breed Specific Dry Dog Food, 10 lb bag - Royal Canin Shih Tzu Adult Breed Specific Wet Dog Food, 3 Oz Can (6-Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/4809684-royal-canin-breed-health-nutrition-shih-tzu-puppy-dry-dog](https://www.desertcart.us/products/4809684-royal-canin-breed-health-nutrition-shih-tzu-puppy-dry-dog) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-24*
