Dog Care

A terrier mix is a dog that is a crossbreed between a terrier breed and another breed.

It depends on the breed and the type of hair the dog has. To keep a Maltese, wheaton, shih tsu, havanese, doodle or a poodle neat and clean in a puppy cut, every six weeks would suffice.

atleast every 6-8wks

if longer hair you may want to do every 4weeks or even work out a maintance plane to have them brushed and bathed every 2wks

at my salon we have quite a few yorkies and Maltese on a 2wk maintance plan i have one that comes every week for a bath and fluff dry. maintance should include a bath, a feet trim, a potty trim, and a eyesite trim, ear plucking/cleaning, anal glands, and nail trim

My vet recommend the Royal Canin food products. They have food types based the size your dog will be. My puppy is a large-breed dog so we gave her the MAXI Babydog 30 food which is for large-breed dogs right after they are weened until they are 5 months old. It's made especially for little puppies. They also have a generic puppy food. As far as how much food to give them, read the directions on the back of the food bag. But most baby dogs eat 2 cups of food twice a day since they are growing so much. However, if your dog is a small-breed dog they may need to eat less. After the babydog food, we gave her the large breed puppy food until she was 15 months old. Now she's just on the large breed dog food. Royal Canin as has small and medium breed food too.

It should, without hesitation, be seen by a veterinarian before extensive damage occurs to internal organs.
