Food

Select a premium commercial dog food that has been developed with the needs of tiny breed dogs in mind. Try to find labels that say what exactly is in the product and what the nutritional value is.

Food for your English Toy Terrier should be chosen with its age in mind. Until they reach adulthood, puppies have different nutritional demands than adult dogs, therefore it's best to feed them a puppy-specific diet.

Keep in mind that every dog has a unique metabolism and degree of activity, and feed them according to the parameters supplied by the dog food manufacturer. Adjust your dog's feeding amounts based on his or her weight and bodily condition.

Overfeeding may lead to obesity in English Toy Terriers, therefore it's crucial to limit their food intake and limit their access to treats. They may experience a decline in health and happiness due to the effects of obesity.

Two meals a day is plenty for most adult English Toy Terriers. Divide their daily ration into two meals and feed them at regular intervals. Growing puppies may need more frequent feedings at first, but may reduce their meal frequency to twice daily.
