What does a Welsh Terrier need from their diet?
Welsh Terriers thrive on meals built around quality protein, balanced fats, natural fibre and targeted nutrients that support their energy, coat and digestion.
They're a lively, intelligent breed and need food that keeps up with their pace. Lean proteins - chicken, beef, salmon or lamb - provide essential amino acids for muscle development and play. These proteins form the heart of Marleybones recipes, including Chic Chicken, Boss Beef, Lush Lamb and Sassy Salmon, each designed for both flavour and function.
Essential fatty acids, particularly Omega‑3 and Omega‑6, contribute to a strong coat and healthy skin. Carefully balanced fat levels provide energy without unnecessary weight gain. Equally important are antioxidant‑rich vegetables and fruits, which help support immunity, while prebiotic fibres (such as chicory root and yucca) ease digestion for steady energy and firmer stools.
