Feeding
# Feeding your Skye Terrier well
United Kingdom
The Skye Terrier needs a quality diet, adapted to its age, size and activity level. A well-balanced ration helps support its skin, coat and body condition.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: A good-quality growth diet helps support bone, muscle and immune development, with several meals per day.
- Adult: A complete ration adapted to its activity helps maintain a stable weight and a coat in good condition.
- Senior: With age, a more digestible formula and weight monitoring help preserve mobility and overall comfort.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Complete premium kibble for adult medium-sized dogs generally works well, with an easily digestible formula and sufficiently rich in animal proteins. In case of digestive or skin sensitivity, the veterinarian may recommend a more targeted diet.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily quantity must be adjusted according to actual weight, age, sterilization and activity, then distributed regularly to avoid excesses.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10 - 12 kg | 203 - 278 g | 2 |
| 12 - 13 kg | 230 - 315 g | 2 |
| 13 - 15 kg | 256 - 351 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any dietary transition must be gradual over several days in order to limit digestive upsets. It is recommended to increase the proportion of the new food step by step while monitoring stools and appetite.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times, especially after outings, in hot weather and if the diet is dry.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and be included in the overall ration to avoid weight gain. It is better to favor small, simple and digestible rewards.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Weigh the ration rather than estimating it by eye.
- Split the meals if the dog digests better that way.
- Adjust the ration after sterilization or a decrease in activity.
### Never feed these foods
Chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, avocado, alcohol, yeast dough, cooked bones and products containing xylitol should be avoided, as they can cause severe digestive disorders, neurological damage or potentially fatal poisoning in dogs.
