Pet Insurance for Shih Tzus
Their name translates to “lion dog,” a nod to their royal origins as the chosen pet of Chinese emperors. And Shih Tzus indeed have a mane — their soft, long double coat tangles easily and requires daily brushing.
They’re an undeniably special breed — right down to their unique health concerns. That’s why Fetch covers breed-specific issues in one simple plan.
Fetch is the most comprehensive pet insurance for
Shih Tzus
Because of their short snout and flatter face, Shih Tzus are prone to breathing problems. Fetch covers the tests and treatment for respiratory infections and breed-specific conditions like brachycephalic airway syndrome.
If your pup has a clean bill of health now, Fetch can help you with vet bills later.
