How much food you feed your dog is a more important question than you may think. When incorrect, the caloric and nutritional makeup of your dog’s food and treats can have an adverse effect on his standard of living and overall length of life. Discuss the topic with your trusted veterinarian in an open and honest dialogue. Together you can come up with a plan that will allow you to help your dog remain healthy.
How do I know how much to feed my dog?
When looking at the amount of food per day a dog should have, your vet will look at a number of different data points:
Age
Activity level
Breed
Size
Weight
Health conditions or disease
Living environment
In 2021 the AAHA updated its Nutrition and Weight Management Guidelines for Dogs and Cats. It includes nutritional assessment screening evaluations and energy requirements versus caloric intake calculations your vet can use to keep your pet within a healthy weight.
Should I free-feed my dog?
Free-feeding — making food available to a dog all day without limiting quantity — can have a number of negative side effects.
Over eating, causing a pet to become overweight
Food protecting/aggression in multiple pet households
Limits use of reward-based training
Makes it difficult to identify a lack of appetite, which is often a sign your dog is ill
Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine notes that today’s pet food industry has done extensive taste tests and research to make dog food as appealing as possible. With constant access to good tasting food there is a higher chance your dog will overeat.
How to measure food and count treats?
The AAHA Nutrition and Weight Management Guidelines suggest that treats should be no more than 10% of your dogs’ caloric intake. Treats can add up fast, especially when passed out multiple times a day. Dogster’s sister pubication, The Whole Dog Journal, places owners wanting to demonstrate their affection as a root cause to overfeeding, citing an increase in obesity with more than 50% of dogs in the US being overweight or obese.
You can measure out food by measuring cup or by scale, noting that amount isn’t as important as the number of calories. Reference the food packaging for calories and suggested feeding guidelines.
How much to feed from puppy to adult?
How much food your dog needs, how often he should eat, and what amount of protein is required changes throughout your dog’s life. During regular checkups with your dog’s vet, update her on your dog’s activity level and ask if your dog’s current age should change the amount of food he receives.
Hanna Zulueta, who is certified in nutrition from the Companion Animal Sciences Institute (CASI), helps her clients understand how much to feed their dogs and suggests owners understand what their dog’s ideal body condition should look like so you can adjust quantity of food as needed. (See the body condition scoring system here. Hanna’s observations have led her to the conclusion that most dogs are overfed and believes the one thing owners can do to help their dog, regardless of diet, is to feed the amount that keeps the dog lean and fit.

It’s common for dogs to have diarrhea occasionally. A dog’s digestive system is part of his immune system and works to reset itself when things get off track by cleansing the body of harmful materials. A healthy dog with a strong immune system will return to normal in about 2 to 4 days. There are things you can give your dog for diarrhea to help him recover.
What to do if your dog has diarrhea
Many things can cause dog diarrhea, from stress to dietary changes, and even food allergies. If your dog acts otherwise normal, don’t worry about occasional diarrhea. Like people, dogs get upset tummies, and it’s nothing a little pampering won’t fix. (See foods to eat below.)
Call your veterinarian if there are other symptoms such as blood, black tar-like stool and vomiting. If your dog ingested toxins, poisons or foreign objects, seek immediate care. Do not give any over-the-counter medications such as Pepto Bismal without first consulting your veterinarian. These medications can cause more harm.
How to stop dog diarrhea
You can do some simple things to help stop your dog’s diarrhea.
Take away food and treats and fast him for 12 to 24 hours. This will give his body time to reset itself.
A side effect of diarrhea is dehydration. Have plenty of fresh water available. You can also give him a fast hydration broth that includes probiotics, available at pet retail stores.
If things improve after about six hours, offer lukewarm onion-free, low-sodium chicken or bone broth. His stomach needs time to recover and feeding as you normally do can further upset things. Broth provides hydration and will help ease your dog back to eating regular meals.
When a dog has diarrhea, he’s losing nutrients and beneficial bacteria. There are things you can feed him to help your dog with diarrhea. Feeding your dog an easily digestible meal for a week afterward will help return his digestive tract to normal. You can give him:
Cooked squash or pumpkin mixed with chicken broth to make a runny porridge. Pumpkin and squash are the best foods for dogs with diarrhea, they are fiber-rich and contain important vitamins and minerals. They stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibit harmful bacteria. Fiber adds substance to your dog’s stool by absorbing water. Look for canned organic pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix), pumpkin puree or squash puree.
Adding a canine probiotic supplement to his meals can help improve and then maintain a healthy intestinal biome. You can also give your dog:
Homemade meals of cooked lean meats, such as unseasoned boiled chicken or very lean browned beef with white rice (easier on the stomach than brown) to start replenishing lost nutrients. You can prepare them with water or broth.
Dr. TJ Bowe of the North Colony Animal Clinic says the key to diarrhea is small, frequent meals of bland food and not “fueling the fire” so to speak. Do not feed your dog full meals just yet. When your dog starts having normal bowels, then transition back to his regular diet by slowly reintroducing his food.
Dog diarrhea is common and can often be resolved in a few days with care and attention. If diarrhea lasts more than three days, or if you have a puppy with diarrhea, seek veterinary care immediately.

A hardy, mid-sized breed, the Wire Fox Terrier rarely turns down a chase, a hunt or an invite to playtime. Tenacious yet amiable, determined yet devoted, this Terrier stands on the tiptoe of expectation, ever ready for life’s adventures.
Wire Fox Terrier pedigree and history
Developed in the 19th century British Isles, the alert and active Wire Fox Terrier was bred to hunt, as well as to find and kill farm vermin. His likely ancestors were black-and-tan working rough-coated Terriers originating in Wales and northern England.
The Wire Fox Terrier’s history is closely tied to English Fox hunting. Hounds would chase the fox until he went to ground, then Terriers were needed to pester the fox from hiding places. The Wire Fox Terrier, a combination of speed, endurance and tenacity, could run near the hounds and horses during the hunt with energy left to follow a fox into burrows. Some hunters carried the early Terriers in their saddlebags, dropping them to drive the fox out as needed.
Is the Wire Fox Terrier a family dog?
In the 1930’s, the Wire Fox Terrier became a popular family dog. The breed’s status correlated to his amiable temperament but also to the success of a detective comedy film series The Thin Man, starring Skippy, a friendly Terrier. Skippy played Asta, the clever, agreeable dog owned by Nick and Nora Charles, the crime-solvers.
Today’s Wire Fox Terriers appreciate both family time and improvisational hunting activities of every sort. Outdoors, Terriers dig holes, spontaneously chase any animal that runs (Wow! Watch the neighbor’s cat sprint!) and pursue the old standbys: squirrels, rabbits and birds. Indoors, this Terrier often enjoys performing tricks and hanging with the family. If left alone and bored, he’ll likely find some mischief; the breed expects family inclusion, lots of action and plenty of variety.
Wire Fox Terriers evidence a natural talent in sports such as earth-dog trials, where the dogs are judged on their abilities for finding rodents (in this case, rats in cages) underground. Some Fox Terriers participate in agility, obedience and rally, but owners will need both patience and enticing dog food delicacies to work with this independent breed. After all, Terriers must be convinced that a job is worth doing. Unquestioning obedience is not their strong suit. The breed has plenty of leaders and only a few followers. Training involves flexibility and a sense of humor. The Wire Fox Terrier is a self-governing thinker with an obstinate streak, but he’s game for high-level challenges when they strike his fancy.
With this active breed, families will have to do more than take walks around the block. Wire Fox Terriers need extensive, diverse and regular exercise. The dog may be happy to snooze some of the day, but when he’s up, he’s up: Bring on the action!
Although the Wire Fox Terrier is mid-size, he thrives in a full-size (necessarily fenced) yard. Apartment living is doable only if the owner is dedicated to frequent exercise. While consistent training will mitigate the breed’s chase instincts, the breed’s highly-developed hunting drive makes his recall unreliable. Off-leash activity is consequently risky. Even the best trained Fox Terrier may take off running when prey is spotted.
How social are Wire Fox Terriers?
A socialized and well-trained Wire Fox Terrier can play nicely with older children. While typically affectionate with everyone, Terriers may be too active for very young children.
As for adding other species to the family circle, prospective owners must consider the Fox Terrier’s hunting aptitude. Families realistically can’t expect this Terrier breed (with perhaps a few exceptions) to cohabitate with gerbils, hamsters, birds, guinea pigs or rabbits. Supervision is also prudent around cats, although some Terriers can learn to coexist peacefully with the family’s own cats.
While many Wire Fox Terriers get along with the family’s dogs, some show skepticism around unknown dogs. After all, these Terriers were bred to work independently, not in groups. Some Terriers will play with established friends, but few rejoice at the idea of playing with strange dogs at dog parks.
Bred to chase rats and foxes instead of standing guard, most Wire Fox Terriers don’t prioritize the watchdog role. Although they may alert their owners to newcomers, most tend to welcome human guests instead of running them off.
What health issues do Wire Fox Terriers have?
Generally a healthy breed that ages gracefully, the Wire Fox Terrier lives between 12 and 13 years. Most show energy and spunk even into their senior years, so don’t expect much slowing down as time goes by. Health problems may include skin allergies, leggs perthes and patellar luxation. This Terrier is commonly deemed an easy keeper. He’s not typically clingy or demanding (as long as he’s well-exercised). Travel is usually carefree with the Wire Fox Terrier, too. He’s small but sturdy, fits in a compact car and is light to lift when needed.
Wire Fox Terrier grooming needs
Wire Fox Terriers aren’t big shedders, so they’re a good choice for owners with allergies or simply a loathing to vacuuming. Developed in relatively rainy areas, the breed’s coat does well when wet. A raindrop almost bounces off a well-maintained Wire Fox Terrier’s coat.
The soft puppy coat of a Wire Fox Terrier will become a wiry coat in time. Grooming the Terrier involves a weekly commitment to brushing or combing, and then either hand stripping or trimming. Stripping a Terrier coat is complicated, and perhaps best done by professionals. The stripping process involves removing dead hairs from the coat by hand, rather than clipping, to keep the coat neat and healthy.
Pet owners may choose to simply have the dog’s coat clipped. Clipping instead of stripping, however, sometimes makes the coat less wiry and may subdue the dog’s natural colors.
The Wire Fox Terrier is an intense, lively and self-motivated breed. He’s happy, demonstrative and friendly but also stubborn and (don’t tell them we told!) not always compliant. Active owners who can handle the breed’s exercise and inclusion needs will find the Wire Fox Terrier a delightful, spirited companion.
Grooming: Weekly combing or brushing; stripping or trimming every few months
Height/weight: Males not more than 15½ inches at the withers; weight not exceeding 18 pounds. Females lower in height; weighing about 15 to 17 pounds
Activity level: High
Known health problems:Patellar luxation, leggs perthes, skin allergies
Breed quote if they had one: Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. ~ Helen Keller
Show dog extraordinaire
The Wire Fox Terrier has received more Best in Show titles (over a dozen!) at Westminster Kennel Club dog shows than any other breed. In general, Terriers of all breeds have done well at the show. But among all the Terrier variations, Wire Fox Terriers have won the most.
Famous Wire Fox Terriers
Charles Darwin (an avid fox hunter) had a Wire Fox Terrier named Polly, who followed him around devotedly until Darwin’s death in 1882. Clearly a dedicated companion and arguably not coincidentally, Polly passed away the day after Darwin died.
King Edward VII of England had a Terrier named Caesar. The dog’s collar had the bold inscription “I am Caesar. I belong to the King.” When Edward died in 1910, Caesar walked by the casket in the funeral procession.
Beauty was a WWII search dog. Working with a rescue squad, she was instrumental in finding buried air raid victims. She received the coveted Dickin Medal for bravery in 1945. The U.K. award goes to animals who have shown a “conspicuous gallantry or devotion to duty while serving or associated with any branch of the Armed Forces or Civil Defense.”

Does your dog run and cower when you bring the vacuum out? Or maybe he lunges and barks at the vacuum? Vacuums are among the sounds dogs hate. Professional dog trainer Marj Ediger explains why dogs are scared of vacuums and what to do about it.
Why Dogs Are Scared of Vacuums?
Vacuums are loud, have a strange odor and are large moving objects inside a dog’s home, explains Marji, which is why dogs bark at vacuums. If you think a vacuum is loud, imagine being a dog. They hear high pitches, that humans can’t, coming from vacuums and other loud appliances. Their barking or cowering is a fear response. In fact, this UC Davis study found that sudden, loud noises are a top trigger for fearful behavior in dogs.
For some dogs, the unpredictability of a moving vacuum may kick in their herding tendencies.
What Can You Do To Stop Your Dog From Being Scared or Barking at a Vacuum
Desensitization is key, says Marj. It’s easier with a puppy, but not impossible with an adult dog. Here are Marj’s tips to help your dog get used to the vacuum:
Start by putting the vacuum in the middle of the room, unplugged, at a comfortable distance from the dog. Give a treat when the dog doesn’t react.
Move the vacuum slowly back and forth, still unplugged. Give your dog another treat for no reaction.
When your dog is comfortable with this, start the vacuum in another room. Come back and treat, treat, treat. Make it a pup party!
Slowly open the door and if the dog is ready — not reacting — do the Hansel and Gretel method of tossing treats in the direction of the vacuum. If the dog’s body language is projecting fear — ears pinned, tail tucked, etc. — then take a step backward and don’t push it.
If your dog is older and has already ingrained a strong fear of vacuums, have him chill in another room or even outside. The key here is to not let him get any more practice at reactivity.
If the sound of the vacuum, even in the other room, is too loud, find vacuum sounds online and play them at low volume. As your dog gets used to the sound, increase the volume gradually.
Since the noise if often the main reason dogs don’t like vacuums, quieter vacuums can help.
Other Sounds Dogs Hate
Dogs not only hear higher pitches than us, but also at lower decibels, so they often hear things we cannot. Anything we think is loud is ear-piercing to a dog. Other sounds dogs hate are include:
fireworks
blenders
lawn mowers
large delivery trucks.
Use Marj’s vacuum tips to help desensitize your dog to other noises in her environment.
While getting your dog used to noises in her everyday life is necessary, remember that part of the reason our four-legged best friends hate vacuums is because they are so loud, it hurts their ears. If possible, keep your dog out of the room where you are vacuuming or using other loud appliances. This is will save your dog’s hearing and make her a happier housemate!

When your dog injures herself, you may be tempted to search through your medicine cabinet to find something to help your dog in pain — but don’t. Giving her any human over-the-counter pain medication at home could cause more harm.
What can I give my dog for pain relief at home?
Nothing in your medicine cabinet is safe for your dog’s pain relief. Advil, Tylenol, Aleve and other human pain medications are dangerous for dogs. Giving NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs made for humans to dogs can damage the kidneys and liver and can cause stomach ulcers and seizures and even death.
The preferred way to treat your dog’s pain is with pain relief made specifically for dogs and approved by the FDA. These medications, such as Carprofen and Grapiprant, are considered safe for dogs and are available by veterinarian prescription.
In some cases, and only if your vet has prescribed it, it’s possible to give your dog a low-dose coated aspirin or baby aspirin for short-term use to treat pain, fever and inflammation. However, aspirin is an over-the-counter NSAID with the potential to cause harm to your dog.
Plain Tylenol is safe for dogs, says Dr. Timothy Bowe of North Colony Animal Clinic in Texas, but the problem is all the different formulations, such as p.m. or extra strength, are not safe for dogs, so most vets do not recommend over the counter Tylenol at all. The best course of action, he says, is to call your local vet and get your pet seen if you think they are in pain.
As with any medications, watch your dog for any adverse reactions. Use the acronym BEST to assess whether your dog is having a reaction to a canine NSAID. If he shows any of the following, stop giving the medication and call your vet immediately:
Behavior changes
Eating less
Skin redness, scabs
Tarry stool/diarrhea/vomiting
What can I give my dog for pain over the counter?
There are other pain remedies for dogs that are natural or holistic and available at most pet retail stores. As with medications, check with your veterinarian first before giving a supplement designed to ease your dog’s pain. Some supplements may react with medications and that can be dangerous for your dog.
Some dog-formulated supplements that may help reduce a dog’s pain or discomfort include:
Glucosamine and Chondroitin
CBD oil
Boswellia serrata
Turmeric
Omega-3 fatty acids
Dosage should be advised by your vet, as dosage depends upon accurate body weight, age and health.
Sometimes dogs can recover from minor injuries without medications simply by resting and limiting activities. Maintaining a healthy weight and activity level can help prevent injuries and reduce joint strain. Feeding a biologically appropriate and nutrient-dense diet will help your dog stay healthy and help recover from injuries quicker.
If your dog injures himself or you suspect he is in distress, call your veterinarian immediately. Never medicate your dog without first talking to your vet.

Dogs sitting on our feet is a simple act that many pet parents experience regularly, but the reason isn’t so simple.
What does it mean when dogs sit on your feet?
The most common reason why our dogs sit at or on our feet is to feel a sense of security.
California-based dog trainer Ash Miner, a certified trick dog instructor (CTDI) who is working on a master’s degree in animal behavior, says a dog sitting on his or her parent’s feet is usually giving the pup the sense of someone having their back. It’s also to show their desire to stay close to you. If you get up, they know — because they’re on your feet — even if they fall asleep.
Ash says she’s found this act to be a personality trait that can span any age, size or breed of dog. She has found it is particularly common in puppies, who are trying to keep track of their family.
Can dog sitting on feet be a health concern?
Dog body language is sometimes complex and there are a number of possible reasons why your dog sits on your feet. Ash says though she isn’t a medical expert, there are also health-related reasons, including arthritis making it difficult for the dog to sit all the way down. She says she knew a dog who sat on her parent’s feet immediately following a grand mal seizure.
Certified Professional Dog Trainer Kate Connell, of Calmer Canines California, says there’s no one proven reason why dogs sit at our feet. She says reasons can vary widely depending on the expert you ask — from your pet trying to bond with you to your pet being protective and, more rarely, exhibiting dominance behavior.
Dogs sitting at our feet often seems like a sweet, loving gesture — and that may be exactly what it is. But if you notice any other habits in your dog you can’t explain or that concern you, consult a veterinary or animal behavior professional because it could be a sign of a larger health or behavior issue.
