What size bowl would be best to use for shih tzu dogs?

A 10 oz bowl will be OK for a shih tzu. I got one for my 9 lb maltese mixg. He's 12 lbs now. But I never used it because this bowl is made to hang in the cage. His water bowl is outside the cage on the floor next to his food bowl. It is very well made of strong stainless steel. I didn't return it though. I keep it in the car for trips (for water).

I can't answer for a Shih Tzu dog, but our three chihuahuas were afraid of the 10 oz. size bowls I put in their small cages. In a larger cage those would have been perfect, I think. Very good quality and I believe anything larger than 10 oz. would allow for stale water and dust & debris in it...plenty of water for a day or two in 10 oz. Hope this helps! Morgan Phenix

I would think a bowl about 16-20 ounces would be great for that size dog. I use the 20 ounce Snap'y Fit Water and Feed Bowl that can attach to a cage (just like the one in the photo) for both of my jack russel terrier and my dachshund/terrier mix, who range from 20 to 25 lbs, and also use one of the bowls for my cat who is <15 pounds, and I love these bowls. They are super easy to clean, and I bought them 2 years ago and the steel looks like new.

I can fit about 4-5 cups of dog food in the bowls. My two dogs share the water bowl

I bought the small ball as I have a Shih Tzu who loves balls. The type of treat I use is Nature's Instinct Raw Dehydrated Bites. They are sometimes too small and fall out easily, though. The treat size is going to depend on the size of the ball you have, and how aggressive your dog is getting at them.

I assume you're talking about the smaller of the two bowls, the Lil Pup? Yes, more than sufficient for a 20lb. dog. I have the Lil Pup for my 35lb. Pit/Shepherd and I think the bowl could probably accommodate a dog up to maybe 50-60 lbs. I use the larger of the two bowls for my 120lb. Alaskan Malamute/Wolf and there is no dog large enough to require a larger bowl than that one.

The opening on our bowl is about 3.5" and is sufficient for our St. Bernard. He doesn't need his whole snout in the bowl, just his tongue. It's his favorite water bowl.

these bowls are very small, but I personally don't like to have a lot of food and/or water in kennel since they are confined and unable to use bathroom. THEY WILL SURVIVE PUPPY PERIODS ( as my lab/boxer is a couch chewer (hence- kennel when were not home)-) they are thick bowls, just not big in diameter... just measured mine and its 4 inches across......just perfect for my Riley..... hope that this helps!!!

I have the flower shaped bowl and measured the channels. They range from about a half an inch to 1 inch in places and 2 inches at the wide ends of the petals. The center of the flower is about an inch and a half deep. If the only reason you are feeding large kibble is for her to chew it, you could switch to smaller in this bowl. She has no choice but to slow down.

I would agree with the other person who is suggesting supply and demand as the pricing goes. But also, smaller dogs are more likely to have the need for this type of bowl because they choke more easily on their food than a larger dog typically would.

Shih Tzu's mat quite easily, therefore if you want 1/2 inch length you will need them to be mat free and use a longer guard over a 10 or 15 blade. A 3F or 4F without a guard would be a good blade if they tend to be matted. If they are very matted then a 5 or 7 (very short, but I only suggest those blades being used by professional groomers.) Any blade can grab the dog's skin and tear it if the mats are tight.

I have a shih tzu so it's smaller than a medium dog. She has plenty of room in there, she can walk around and play with toys. We have food and water and a bed in there and there's plenty of space. I'm sure it would work if it was a medium sized dog! :)

I have medium for a yorkie mix, I think small would work fine for your needs. These are nice bowls, I have two and got medium so she has plenty of water throughout the day. She is 16 lbs. and a hyper beast that drinks a lot.

You can find that info in product description. I actually went with the small because I have a shih tzu. I suggest you choose based on what breed you have. Hope this helps! :)

Generally speaking, yes it is a great bowl for a puppy dog as the height of the bowl tops is only 3 inches off the ground so easy for them to access food and water.

Given the option, my dogs use this water bowl. I would buy medium. Dog census--small Jack Russell, ancient, blind 25 lb mutt, and younger 35 lb mutt.

The med will hold the 7.5" bowl and LG for 9". Regardless, the dog bowl will need to have a "lip" on it, so that the bowl doesn't fall through. Here's a 7.5" bowl: http://unleashedlife.com/shop/stainless-steel-bowls/ NOTE: the 7.5" & 9" is NOT the measurement of the "lip"... Let me know if you want me to take pictures and/or etc.

The size isn't the problem. I think it's too difficult for a puppy to use. If the pup gobbles food better to get the Indipets bowl with a bump in the middle. That worked better for my 10 month old. He was so frustrated with the Kyjen that he just flipped it over.

Would be a little big for tea or sugar (unless you need to scoop a large quantity for a recipe). We use these for our dog's food (these are 3/4 cup size). For tea or sugar a tea-spoon would likely be what you are looking for.
