How to feed the Border Terrier? In people's eyes, the Border Terrier is a good child who is not picky about food. In order for the Border Terrier to grow healthily and develop good bones, nutrition must be comprehensive in childhood, especially protein and vitamins.

Feeding Points for Border Terriers

1. During the puppy period, if you can occasionally feed an appropriate amount of raw meat or fish, it will help the development of the dog. However, fish and chicken bones must be removed.

2. If puppies eat human food, it will cause gastrointestinal disorders and cause indigestion. Therefore, they must be cooked into soft food.

3. You cannot feed only meat without rice and vegetables.

4. Using biscuits with less sugar as snacks is also a way to supplement the meal.

5. Puppies after 3 weeks of age can be fed goat milk and soup in addition to breast milk, but the soup should not contain too much fat, otherwise it will easily lead to diarrhea.

6. Puppies that are about one month old can be fed porridge-like food cooked with minced meat, rice, cornmeal, flour and vegetables in conjunction with breastfeeding.

7. Puppies between 35 and 45 days old can use thick soup to cook porridge, plus an appropriate amount of whole grains, vegetables, fish and salt as their staple food. During this period, please remove internal parasites from your dog.
