Toy Terrier, like the vast majority of other miniature decorative dogs, are famous for their capriciousness. Therefore, from the very first days, it is necessary to show a certain rigor and adherence to principles in everything. This is especially important in the matter of feeding.

A well-designed diet will allow you to grow a healthy and strong dog from a puppy. This statement is also true for the host yorkshire terrier. In general, both of these breeds require similar handling. If you have no real experience in raising such a dog, you should definitely seek the advice of specialists.

At present, it has become extremely fashionable for the representatives of the weaker sex to acquire miniature dogs. However, the problem is that few of them realize that such babies are often more troublesome than, for example, with the Dogue de Bordeaux.

The Toy Terrier has deservedly been called a pocket breed. On average, one individual rarely gains a mass of more than 3 kilograms. At the same time, growth at the withers practically does not exceed 28 centimeters.

At the same time, we should not forget: all terriers, including that (or Jack Russell, Amstaff, etc.), regardless of size, are distinguished by excellent fighting ability. They are always ready to rush to protect the owner.

We should not forget that, unlike its large relatives (for example, the Russian black terrier), it has extremely fragile bones. For this reason, it is important to be very careful with them and not allow them to flirt.

How to feed

First of all, you need to make it clear to yourself once and for all - food from the master's table should not fall into the dog's bowl.

Also, under no circumstances should a toy terrier be given any minced meat:

• meat;
• fish;
• chicken.

Lean veal or beef cut only small pieces, as they say, one tooth.

Also, a 2- or 3-month-old puppy, as well as an adult dog, cannot eat:

• sweets (both store-bought and homemade);
• sausages (and any salty foods)
• pork;
• river fish.

Only the puppy who is fed according to the schedule will later become healthy, strong and non-capricious.

How many times do puppies need to eat? It all depends on their age:

• up to two months required frequent feeding- up to 6 times a day;
• A 3-month-old baby is transferred to five meals a day;
• from 4 to 10 - food is given four times;
• then switch to double mode.

In the latter case, they feed in the morning and in the evening.

Feeding

Puppy diet should be primarily balanced. It must contain:

• carbohydrates;
• proteins;
• fats.

However, only the most fresh food may fall into his bowl. If the puppy left some food, it must be taken away. This will avoid stomach problems and, importantly, will be an important educational moment.

It is important not to forget - unlike humans, the dog does not need any flavors, so there is no need for food:

• salt;
• season with various spices, etc.

In a separate bowl, the puppy should always have the most fresh water. She needs to at least change twice a day. Waiting for him to drink it all is unacceptable - very often dogs refuse contaminated or stale water.

Puppies need vitamins and minerals to grow. They are not contained in sufficient quantities in the products, for this reason, various complexes produced specifically for dogs should be used. They are easy to buy in a veterinary pharmacy. It is important here to strictly follow the dosages indicated in the instructions - an excess of vitamins is no better than a deficiency.

What is the right way to feed a toy terrier puppy? Perhaps this will surprise many, but this breed comes from a wolf, which means that by nature its representatives have a great appetite.

To saturate the ward, the emphasis should be on meat in nutrition. It should make up at least 45 percent of the total diet. There will be no trouble if its share is increased even more, to the detriment of carbohydrates. Dogs have a unique ability - their body can produce many of the missing useful material on one's own.

As practice shows, toy terriers are very fond of offal. Their favourites:

• heart;
• liver.

However, the latter should not be given often - it contains a lot of vitamin A and its excess in a negative way affects the state of the musculoskeletal system.

How to process meat? boil until fully prepared no need. It is finely chopped and steamed with boiling water.

Sometimes you can give plant foods:

• carrot;
• apples;
• zucchini.

Fish for food is suitable exclusively for sea and only in the form of fillets. It can be served fresh or boiled.

You can also cook porridge for puppies from the following cereals:

• hercules;
• wheat.

With rice, you need to be extremely careful and it is better to refuse it altogether.

Lactic products:

• kefir;
• cottage cheese;
• yogurt.

A puppy is sometimes allowed to feed fresh milk, but it will not bring any benefit to an adult dog.

Feed or natural products

In reality, the opinions of experts differ on this issue. There are advantages and disadvantages to both options. For this reason, you should decide for yourself which method would be preferable.

If food is chosen, then it is better to buy it in reliable stores. You should not buy cheap options - they are more likely to harm the health of the dog. You should always check the expiration date.

It is also harmful to the puppy and unbalanced nutrition. Excess carbohydrates in the diet is extremely dangerous.

However, it is worth remembering that toy terriers eat a little, and therefore there is no need for them to save much on food. Thus, it is worth buying only premium food - their manufacturers care about their reputation and do not allow themselves to use poor quality products.

Economy class products are not very good - they noticeably lack proteins, and the cheapest fats and carbohydrates are used.

You can not buy feed by weight - so you will not be able to control the date of manufacture. In addition, an open bag is often stored incorrectly, and its contents quickly become unusable.

If the dog has an increased formation of tartar, it is better for her to buy dry food. Animals prone to kidney disease should purchase canned food or soak dehydrated granules before feeding.

Both of the above should never be given at the same time. prepared food. If they are fed separately, then it is necessary to select the products of one company. Such simple rules help avoid digestive problems.

Dog health depends on four factors: feeding, regular walks, hygiene, communication with the owner. Feeding is not in vain in the first place. Toy Terriers do not need large food supplies, but their diet should be harmonious and regular. Before you figure out what to feed your toy terrier, check out general rules nutrition and canine eating habits.

General nutrition rules

The dog must receive trace elements from food and nutrients in the optimal amount. The menu of a toy terrier depends on the age of the dog, its level of activity and size.

Feed your dog on a regular schedule. Don't give tidbits off the table between feedings and don't leave bowls with leftover food on the floor. An adult toy should be fed at least twice a day. Place water near the bowl and “refresh” it twice a day.

If you notice that your pet regularly leaves food in the bowl, reduce the serving. If he greedily pounces on the food and licks the bowl clean, increase the portion.

Remember - toy terrier nutrition is different from human. If you feed your dog with natural products, prepare separate meals for him, keeping the balance of minerals and vitamins. Prepare food with natural, fresh ingredients and store it properly. Do not feed your toy with expired canned food or offal. Rinse the bowl after every meal.

Track the correctness of the diet according to the condition of the dog. Have a shiny coat, clean eyes and mucous membranes, a good appetite and stable chair. Noticing negative changes in the appearance or behavior of the dog, contact your veterinarian for the appointment of tests and a special diet.

At 2 months

At 2 months old, puppies no longer need breast milk. They receive food five times a day, drink from a bowl on their own. At the age of two months, babies can be transferred to a new owner.

With age, the dog spends less energy on walks, metabolism slows down. Therefore, first of all, the proportion of fats, especially of animal origin, is reduced. Now the dog's diet should be low-calorie.

In older dogs, the need for protein decreases. A large number of meat now adversely affects the kidneys. Therefore, part of the meat is replaced by fish and dairy products.

If the pet is overweight, reduce the proportion of cereals in favor of vegetables. To fill the need for vitamins, carrots, broccoli, zucchini are given raw.

Industrial food is introduced into the puppy's menu in the same way as natural products. Dry granules for babies soak warm water during the first two months.

Switching from natural food to dry food

The daily portion is divided into 10 parts. On the first day, the dog receives 9 parts of the usual menu and one part of dry food. The next day, the ratio changes in the direction of increasing the dose of the new product: 8 parts of the usual food and two parts of the industrial one.

Thus, the transition to new diet will be completed within 10 days. During this period, the dog's stool is monitored. In the event of diarrhea, the replacement process is stopped or another feed is selected. To facilitate adaptation to a new food, the animal is given probiotics to prevent indigestion.

Combined nutrition

Industrial feeds are balanced in composition. If natural products are added to such a diet, then the amount of proteins or carbohydrates may exceed the required rate. The dog's body will react with indigestion or allergies.

To avoid such problems, choosing mixed type nutrition, it is important not to give your pet natural products and industrial feed in one feeding. Break between appointments different types food should be 5-6 hours.

Vitamin and mineral supplements
