Advice about Caring for Healthy Terrier Puppies in Bolton, Lancashire
At Bonosue, we want to ensure all the Irish Terrier puppies we re-home stay happy and healthy. To this end, we are happy to share our thoughts on dog care, including the right feed and treatment. We will provide new puppy owners with a care and food guide to use for the first 12 months, detailing how much food per day your puppy needs, and we are happy to answer any other enquiries about health and care. Contact our team today, in Bolton, Lancashire, to learn more.
How We Feed
We believe in only feeding adults daily, in the morning, as feeding in the evening often leads to dogs sleeping on the food and turning it into fat. A fat dog lives a short and less enjoyable life.

What We Feed
Our Irish Terriers are fed a 15oz tin, plus a complete dried food as a mixer, in equal amounts. Once a week, we feed only raw chicken wings. We use own-brand tins and mixers from local supermarkets, saving money on expensive branded versions of the same food. The complete dried food is a VAT-free brand, which costs £8.99 for 15kg.

Special Additions
Dogs need meat, so we do not recommend feeding just a dried diet. Our dogs also enjoy green tripe. It may stink, but they love it! We add a tablespoon of cooking oil twice a week to their meal, which helps contribute to a glossy coat and good skin, with no dandruff.
Keeping Terriers Healthy and Happy
We are happy to provide dog care advice and tips to care for your terrier puppy.
Preventing Worms
Worming your dog is very important and should be done every three months for life. Do not leave toys or water bowls outside where they are exposed to slugs and snails. This is because they carry lungworm, which may prove fatal to your pet if left unchecked.
VetSpec
We recommend VetSpec joint mobility for dogs, which is a great product for an older member of the family. At £18 per tub, it is quite expensive, but you get great value for money. Add a small amount to food every day and you’ll see the difference it makes. 14-year-old Marina stands as the true testament to VetSpec, as both her coat and her movement are fantastic for her age.
