Short-haired Fox Terrier feeding knowledge:
1. Regular and quantitative food supply
When raising short-haired fox terriers, you must first develop a good habit of eating regularly. Short-haired fox terriers are very gluttonous, so the food must be quantitative and they cannot be allowed to eat too much. Generally, the feeding utensils should be removed after 10-20 minutes after feeding, regardless of whether the animal has finished eating.
2. Food quality requirements
Food quality requirements are high, and non-vegetarian food is indispensable every day. Feed 200-250 grams of fresh chicken, fresh pork or fish, and beef a day. Meat should be minced and cooked until medium-cooked before feeding.
3. Meat and vegetable supplements
When feeding short-haired fox terriers, in addition to meat, certain vegetables (boiled in boiling water) or biscuits should also be given. It is important to note that the short-haired fox terrier does not have premolars, so it must not be allowed to chew bones.
IV. Low-intensity activities
The short-haired fox terrier does not need to be given too much exercise. It is enough to let it walk around indoors or jump or take a walk. This dog also likes to play with toys. You can give it some toys to let it move around the toys, but you cannot give it sharp and angular toys to prevent its skin from being punctured or bruised.
5. Easy to have allergic reactions
Due to its hairless body, short-haired fox terriers are prone to allergic reactions to wool. It is best not to wear woolen clothes when the breeder is close to it.
Six. Health status observation
Owners should pay attention to the dog's health status on weekdays, pay attention to whether its appetite has changed, whether its mental state is normal, whether the stool is dry and loose, and whether the nose is dry or wet. If any abnormality is found, it should be sent to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Take treatment measures to prevent minor illnesses from becoming serious illnesses due to negligence.
7. Bare and hairless skin
The short-haired fox terrier has exposed skin and is not protected by fur, so it is sometimes easy to damage the skin. Owners need to pay special attention to this in daily care. If you raise crested dogs at home, furniture with sharp edges should be removed to avoid scratching the dog's skin.
8. Hypoplasia of molars
Owners need to know that the short-haired fox terrier’s premolars are underdeveloped, so it is not suitable for chewing bones. Owners must not let it eat food containing bones.
9. Bath your dog frequently
General dogs need to pant to dissipate heat, and some need to open their mouths and stick out their tongues to dissipate heat, but the short-haired fox terrier is special. Its skin is connected to the sweat glands and can sweat directly from the skin. The breeder should bathe it frequently and apply some baby skin care oil on it to make its skin smooth.
10. Clean and hygienic environment
If you raise a short-haired fox terrier, and to raise a short-haired fox terrier well, parents should also clean the home environment in a timely manner to provide a clean and comfortable living environment for the short-haired fox terrier. The quality of the owner's living environment can also be improved, which is also very beneficial to the owner's health.
