How do Shih Tzus handle hot weather or high temperatures

Shih Tzus, like other brachycephalic (flat-faced) and small dog breeds, can be more susceptible to heat-related issues and may struggle to handle hot weather or high temperatures. Here are some ways Shih Tzu owners can help their furry friends cope with hot weather:
Provide Adequate Shade and Ventilation:
Ensure your Shih Tzu has access to shaded areas and well-ventilated spaces, especially during hot, sunny days. Limit exposure to direct sunlight.
Fresh Water:
Always have fresh, cool water available for your Shih Tzu to drink. Proper hydration is crucial in hot weather to prevent dehydration.
