Balanced Nutrition

Provide your Shiba Inu with high-quality, breed-appropriate food to support their health and energy levels. Consult your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations tailored to your dog’s age, size, and activity level.

Regular Exercise

Shiba Inus are active and playful. Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation help keep them physically fit and mentally sharp while preventing boredom.

Their beautiful double coat requires regular brushing to reduce shedding and maintain its natural shine. Monthly nail trims and routine dental care are also essential for their overall health.
