Feeding
# Feeding your Kerry Blue Terrier well
Ireland
The Kerry Blue Terrier needs a quality diet adapted to its age, its size and its level of physical activity.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: Choose a complete diet suited to growth and divide the ration into regular meals according to the veterinarian's advice.
- Adult: Adjust the ration to weight, size and activity level, with a possible distribution into two daily meals.
- Senior: Reassess energy intake and the composition of the diet according to activity, weight and health status.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
A complete and balanced diet, chosen according to the dog's life stage and activity, suits its needs.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily ration must be determined according to the dog's weight, age, activity and body condition. It can be divided into two meals per day.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 13 - 15 kg | 251 - 344 g | 2 |
| 15 - 16 kg | 278 - 381 g | 2 |
| 16 - 18 kg | 304 - 417 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual in order to preserve digestive comfort.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Fresh, clean water must remain available at all times, particularly after exercise and in hot weather.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats should remain moderate and be included in the daily energy intake in order to limit weight gain.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Adjust the ration to the age, size and activity level.
- Divide the daily food into two meals.
- Regularly monitor weight and body shape.
- Keep fresh water available.
### Never feed these foods
Avoid foods that are toxic to dogs, including chocolate, grapes and raisins, onion, garlic, xylitol, alcohol, caffeine and macadamia nuts, which can cause severe poisoning.
