They are recommended to have 2 to 3 cups of high-quality dog food that will satisfy their needs. They are active dogs who will need more energy to keep with the demands of their activity. Treats can be an essential aid in training as well, but giving too many can cause obesity. Check with your vet if you have any concerns about your Standard Schnauzer's weight or diet. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times.
Standard Schnauzers have an outer coat that is dense and wiry. They shed very little. This makes them work well with dog owners who are low tolerance for fur. Occasional baths and weekly brushings with a horsehair mitt or de-shedding glove to remove dead hairs will help him stay in great shape.
It doesn't take so much effort to groom them. Their coat may be either trimmed with clippers or by stripping (a process by which the coat is thinned and shortened with a sharp, comb-like tool called a stripping knife) a mix of both.
Trim their nails once or twice a month if your dog doesn't wear them down naturally to prevent painful tears and other problems. Their ears should be checked weekly for redness or a bad odour, indicating an infection. Your careful weekly exam will help you spot potential health problems early.
Make grooming a pleasant experience for them, complete with encouragement and treats, and you'll be paving the way for simple vet assessments and other handling when they are older.
Standard Schnauzers require at least one hour of vigorous activity. They are high-energy dogs who need to be walked briskly three times a day for about 20 minutes each time. They thrive when they have a job to do and space to run as they love vigorous activities that can match their energy level and enthusiasm. Generally, they fit well with an active family and those that love playing with dogs.
Veterinary care is essential to maintain a dog's health and well-being, and the frequency of vet visits required will depend on the individual dog. Annual health checks are recommended to ensure they are healthy and happy throughout their different life stages. In these annual visits, your vet will complete a physical examination, take your dog's temperature, check his heartbeat and overall health.
Standard Schnauzers are excellent with children because they are both playful and tolerant. This breed is well-known for being an excellent companion who is devoted to their family members.
Standard Schnauzers are loyal and loving companions. They are eager to please their family, especially if they get along with you. This adorable dog adores attention!
The Standard Schnauzer is a highly intelligent, strong-willed, and high-spirited dog that is easy to train and obedient. They do, however, have an independent streak and will disregard commands if they do not feel like obeying. So, positive reinforcement and gentle corrections work better than harsh and strict methods when training them.
Standard Schnauzer generally loves and enjoys playing with other pets in the household. It will also make them easier to get engaged with new friends if they are trained to socialize at an early age or if they are raised with them from puppyhood. They like playing with their friends on a fenced park or at the park!
