Grooming a Shih Tzu through the dry summer months in Gadhada

Let the weather set the grooming schedule, not the calendar. The dry heat means hydration and shade matter more than almost anything else, which means coat and skin want checking more often through the dry summer months. On a smaller coat, skin irritation shows up well before matting does. Walk early in the morning or after sunset when the ground is cool, never on hot pavement.
