Three Things Every Kokomo Teddy Bear Owner Must Accept Before Day One
Daily grooming is permanent. The Teddy Bear coat grows continuously and tangles in 48 hours without daily maintenance. A slicker brush and steel comb every single day. Professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks at $48 to $72 per session in Kokomo.
Dental disease is the #1 long-term health cost. The Shih Tzu jaw is small, teeth crowded, tartar accumulates fast. Daily tooth brushing starting in the first week is the only effective prevention. Budget for professional dental cleanings beginning around age 2 to 3.
Eye care is a daily routine. Daily gentle cleaning at the inner corners, hair kept trimmed from the eye surface weekly. Consistent, not complicated. This is what separates a healthy 14-year-old Teddy Bear from one with chronic eye issues.
