Terrier Exercise & Activity Needs

Terriers are generally active and alert dogs, with exercise needs that range from moderate to high depending on the breed.

Most terriers benefit from:

• Daily walks
• Active playtime
• Mental stimulation through games or training

Many terriers were originally bred as working dogs, which means they enjoy staying busy. Without enough activity, some terriers may become bored or develop unwanted behaviors.

Feeding and Nutrition for Terriers

Feeding terriers a balanced, appropriate diet is important for maintaining energy levels and overall health.

General feeding guidelines include:

• High-quality dog food suited to the terrier’s size and activity level
• Puppy-specific food during growth stages
• Portion control to prevent overfeeding
• Monitoring weight, as some terriers gain weight easily

Fresh water should always be available, and any food changes should be made gradually.
