The Aussie Terriers need 1/2 to 1 cup dry food per day. And unlike several tiny breeds, they are not a picky eater. They have a voracious appetite, although he rarely overeats. Monitor their food intake to ensure that they don't gain too much gain to avoid possible health implications. Provide them with fresh and clean water at all times.
The Aussie has a tough coat that sheds very little and is relatively easy to groom. Occasional baths and weekly brushings with a horsehair mitt or de-shedding glove to pull away dead hairs will help to keep him in beautiful condition.
Grooming them does not require much work. Clippers or a combination of clippers and stripping (a method in which the coat is thinned and shortened using a sharp, comb-like tool called a stripping knife) can be used to trim their coat. If your dog's nails don't break off naturally, trim them once or twice a month to avoid painful tears and other issues.
Check their lips, ears, nose, throat, eyes, and feet for sores, rashes, or symptoms of illness such as redness, tenderness, or inflammation. Ears should have a pleasant odour and be free of wax or gunk, and eyes should be clean and free of redness or discharge.
Make grooming a positive experience filled with praise and rewards, and you'll lay the groundwork for easy veterinary exams and other handling when he's an adult.
The Australian Terrier is a high-energy dog that was bred to leap and run. They must have at least 2 to 3 hours of exercise on a daily basis through play and walks. They may dig up your garden and begin to bark excessively if they do not get enough exercise.
Keep them happy and healthy by satisfying their energy needs.
Veterinary care is essential to a dog's health and well-being, however, the frequency of treatment and checkups will depend on the dog. Scheduled six-monthly health check visits with your vet are important to ensure they are healthy and happy throughout all life stages.
Routine maintenance for your dog gives you a chance to track your dog's growth and development, discuss any concerns with your vet, and form a key part of preventative care.
