Nutrition
Border Terrier nutrition should be **high-quality and appropriate for their activity level** and life stage. Given their energetic nature, they can benefit from a protein-rich diet. Portion control is crucial to prevent overweight, as they are prone to obesity if overindulged. A premium quality dry kibble, formulated for small to medium breeds, is an excellent option. It can be supplemented with wet food or lean cooked proteins occasionally, always in moderation. Ensure they always have access to fresh water. Consulting with a veterinarian to adjust their diet to specific needs, especially if they have any health conditions or allergies, is highly recommended. Treats should be rewards and not a fundamental part of their diet.
