How do you raise a Kerry Blue Terrier? Feeding methods and precautions

The Kerry Blue Terrier is a medium-sized dog breed with a relatively large body and relatively high energy consumption, so during feeding, it needs 350-550 grams of meat per day, plus an equal amount of dry vegetarian food or biscuits. The meat should first be cooked and chopped, then mixed with cooked dry vegetarian food and water before feeding. Pay attention to the freshness and cleanliness of the feed. Before each feeding, the leftover food from the previous meal should be discarded and the container washed clean.

Feeding should be at fixed times and fixed places every day, and it should be limited to finishing its meal within 15-25 minutes. If it cannot finish eating within the specified time, the food bowl and food should be taken away, forcing it to develop the good habit of eating at fixed times and fixed places. After the meal, fresh drinking water should be provided 1-2 times.

The Kerry Blue Terrier is a dog breed that loves exercise, and it should be given a certain amount of time and conditions every day to run freely or go out for a walk.

Its beautiful, glossy coat should be combed and brushed every day to keep the coat clean and shiny.

The decorative hair should be regularly tidied and trimmed. Generally, every 5-7 days, the hair on the forelimbs should be tidied and trimmed once, trimmed into a straight cylindrical shape. The hair at the base of the limbs should be slightly shorter, the hair in the middle of the limbs should be allowed to be slightly fuller, and the hair between the toes should be trimmed short so that the feet appear round.

The rear of the hock joint of the hind legs should be trimmed into a diagonal angle, and the feet should be trimmed into a round shape. The buttocks should be given a full appearance.

The base of the tail should be slightly thicker, while the tip of the tail should be relatively thin. The long hair on the edges of the ears and the hair inside the ears should also be appropriately shortened. The hair on the face and at the corners of the eyes should also be appropriately trimmed, but the decorative hair and whiskers on the face should be kept and must not be trimmed.

In spring and autumn, it should be bathed once every 15-30 days. In summer, it is generally bathed once every 3-5 days. If the weather is stuffy and hot, bathe it once a day.

Earwax and eye discharge should be removed once every 3-5 days. The eyes should be wiped and washed with warm water.

Newly purchased puppies should be given strict discipline from the very beginning, so that they develop the habit of obeying the owner's commands and training, and develop the habit of loving cleanliness in daily life and defecating at designated places.

During the feeding process, always pay attention to whether there are any changes in mental state, whether the appetite condition is normal, whether there are any problems with the firmness or looseness of the stool, whether the nose pad is hot and dry, etc. If any abnormal phenomena are found, treatment measures should be taken immediately.
