A Shih Tzu, with its thick fur coat, is particularly vulnerable to extreme temperatures, especially hot weather, and should be kept indoors during very hot or cold conditions to avoid heatstroke or hypothermia; always monitor your dog closely and take precautions like walking them during cooler parts of the day and providing ample hydration in extreme climates.

Key points about Shih Tzus and extreme temperatures:
• Heatstroke risk:�Due to their heavy fur, Shih Tzus are prone to overheating quickly in hot weather, even at temperatures that might seem moderate to humans. �����
• Signs of overheating:�Excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, glazed eyes, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, and collapse are all signs your Shih Tzu might be overheating. �����
• Cooling measures in heat:
◦ Walk them early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. �
◦ Provide access to cool water at all times. �
◦ Use cooling mats or ice packs. �
◦ Consider a "cooling vest" for your dog. �
◦ Never leave them in a hot car. �
• ���
• Cold weather concerns:�While not as critical as heatstroke, Shih Tzus can still get cold in extreme cold, especially with their long fur. �����
• Winter precautions:
◦ Dress them in a dog coat or sweater during very cold weather. �
◦ Limit outdoor time in freezing temperatures. �
◦ Ensure their paws are protected with booties if necessary. �
• ���

What to do if you suspect your Shih Tzu is overheating:
• Move them to a cool, shaded area immediately.
• Wet their fur with cool water.
• Offer them cool water to drink.
• Contact your veterinarian immediately if symptoms are severe or persist. �
