What age should a shih tzu first be cut?

A Shih Tzu can typically have its first grooming session around 4 to 6 months of age. At this age, their coat is long enough to be trimmed, and it helps them get accustomed to the grooming process. It's essential to establish a positive experience early on to make future grooming sessions easier. Regular grooming should be maintained thereafter to keep their coat healthy and prevent matting.
