As for the type of food, the ideal is the special food for Lhasa Paso, but they also like chicken, pork or beef and other dishes such as rice.

However, it must be borne in mind that it must be well cared for to avoid greater evils.
- Interaction: For the dog to feel comfortable, you must pay enough attention to them, since it is a very friendly dog and it needs its master to pay attention to it, play with it and take it out for several walks a day so that it can play and do its things. He does not usually have problems with other dogs, neither with fights nor with behavior, but he is quite distrustful of other humans, so it is a dog that we recommend for people who do not bring too many people home so that the dog feels comfortable enough.
