Rat Terrier

Rat Terriers (10-25 pounds) are energetic, intelligent, and affectionate, great for active families. They’re kid-friendly with supervision but may not tolerate rough play. Moderate exercise (1 hour daily, walks or agility) suits them; their short coat needs minimal brushing.

Feed 0.5-1 cup 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, compact dog, Rat Terriers thrive with engagement, not for sedentary homes.
