Choosing the Best High-Protein Australian Terrier Dog Food

Australian Terrier

In regard to weight, the Australian Terrier is a small dog generally weighing 15-20 pounds. The Australian Terrier is also considered a small dog in regard to height, with an average height of 10-11 inches. If you're trying to figure out the optimal dog food for your Australian Terrier, you should definitely consider the option of a high-protein dog food like those available from Spot & Tango. The Australian Terrier is an AKC Registered breed in the 'Terrier Group' with roots originating back to Australia. The spirited, affectionate and courageous Australian Terrier with a friendly demeanor, generally does particularly well on a high-protein dog food. This is thanks, in part to, its small size combined with its usually high energy levels.

Why Breeds, Like the Australian Terrier in the AKC Terrier Group May Need a High-Protein Dog Food

Terriers are bred to hunt. They are bred to kill and often times eat: rats, mice, squirrels and other vermin. Genetically, the Australian Terrier, part of the AKC's Terrier Group, are pre-disposed to a high-protein diet. Combine this fact with the reality that most terriers (including the Australian Terrier) today struggle with weight gain due to lack of exercise, and you'll see why we recommend a high-protein dog food that's correctly proportioned for your Australian Terrier. Originally from Australia, the Australian Terrier can make the best of its 11 to 15 years on a high-protein dog food that's full of the nutrients the Australian Terrier needs but without the empty calories that could lead to weight gain.

Why A Usually Energetic Australian Terrier May Need a High-Protein Dog Food

The Australian Terrier is considered an energetic dog and thus your Australian Terrier could benefit from a high-protein dog food due to that simple fact alone. A dog food rich in high-protein helps to build muscle and support the energy levels of an energetic Australian Terrier. Furthermore, the calories in high-protein dog food are more efficiently used by an energetic dog like the Australian Terrier. In fact, dogs that don't receive enough protein can actually experience muscle loss and see a noticeable drop in energy levels. Lastly, a high-protein dog food that's optimal for the Australian Terrier is low in carbohydrates which are a non-essential component of a healthy diet for most dogs, but especially true for an energetic Australian Terrier.
