In regard to weight, the Norfolk Terrier is a very small dog generally weighing 11-12 pounds. The Norfolk Terrier is also considered a very small dog in regard to height, with an average height of 9-10 inches. If you're trying to figure out the optimal dog food for your Norfolk Terrier, you should definitely consider the option of a high-protein dog food like those available from Spot & Tango. The Norfolk Terrier is an AKC Registered breed in the 'Terrier Group' with roots originating back to England.

This is thanks, in part to, its very small size combined with its moderately active energy levels.
Why Breeds, Like the Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk Terrier. Originally from England, the Norfolk Terrier can make the best of its 12 to 16 years on a high-protein dog food that's full of the nutrients the Norfolk Terrier needs but without the empty calories that could lead to weight gain.

infrequentlyWhy A Moderately Active Norfolk Terrier May Need a High-Protein Dog Food
The Norfolk Terrier is considered a moderately active dog and thus your Norfolk 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 a moderately active Norfolk Terrier. Furthermore, the calories in high-protein dog food are more efficiently used by a moderately active dog like the Norfolk 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 Norfolk Terrier is low in carbohydrates which are a non-essential component of a healthy diet for most dogs, but especially true for a moderately active Norfolk Terrier.
