Special Nutritional Needs For The Wheaten Terrier
By: Jane R. Bicks, D.V.M.



The Wheaten Terrier is a smart, affectionate, gentle
watchdog who thinks he owns you!


Whether wire or soft coated, he should be fed a professional
alternative dry food, left down all day. The good quality
protein and high fat will help keep either type of coat in
good condition, and nibbling during the day should
help keep energy levels calmer.

Experience for your Wheaten Terrier



Brewer's yeast and garlic are wonderful skin and
coat treats.


Allergies can be a real problem in this breed, so early weaning
is not recommended, and altering the diet every 3 to 5 months,
changing slowly, with acidophilus supplementation may be helpful.


Bee pollen will help keep the immune system in check, and try
to stay away from highly allergenic foods like: corn, milk, soy
and eggs.


Since this breed suffers from intestinal and kidney disease,
any abnormality in stool or urine should be brought to the
attention of a veterinarian immediately. Don't assume loose
stool is due to poor eating habits.
