Irish Terrier

Irish Terriers (25-27 pounds) are bold, intelligent, and spirited, ideal for active families. They’re kid-friendly with supervision but may not tolerate rough play. High exercise (1-2 hours daily, walks or agility) suits their energetic nature; their wiry coat needs regular brushing and stripping.

Feed 1-1.5 cups daily of Merrick Classic Small Breed Recipe, with 28% protein for their energy and joint health. Monitor portions to avoid obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with secure yards, they adapt to apartments with exercise.

Training curbs barking. Perfect for owners seeking a lively, low-shedding dog, Irish Terriers thrive with engagement, not for sedentary or low-training households.
