Biewer Terrier puppies may be small, but their nutritional needs per pound are higher than larger breeds. Small breed puppies have fast metabolisms and limited glycogen reserves, making them susceptible to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if meals are missed. Feeding your Biewer Terrier puppy requires small, frequent meals of calorie-dense food to maintain stable blood sugar and fuel their rapid early growth. Most Biewer Terrier puppies reach adult size by 9-12 months, which is earlier than larger breeds.
