| Exercise | Short daily walks and play | Lhasa Apso dogs need about 30-45 minutes of daily exercise. Regular walks combined with play sessions in the yard or park keep them in good shape. They adapt well to various activity levels. |
| Grooming | Daily brushing, regular professional grooming | Lhasa Apso dogs benefit from brushing 1-2 times per week. Bathing every 4-8 weeks or as needed keeps their coat clean. Don't forget regular nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care as part of their grooming routine. |
| Diet | Quality small-breed formula | Lhasa Apso dogs do well on a high-quality diet formulated for small breeds. Their faster metabolism means they may benefit from 2-3 smaller meals per day rather than one large meal. Monitor treat intake carefully as small breeds can easily gain excess weight. Choose appropriately sized kibble. |
