A mixed-breed dog can inherit a coat similar to one of their parents or one that is some mix of both of them. Should a Fox Terrier Mix end up with a Fox Terrier coat, it will shed moderately year-round. Weekly brushing and a bath every 4-6 weeks is usually enough to keep their coat healthy and looking great.
Regardless of coat type and care, you will also need to take care of your Fox Terrier Mix’s nails, ears, and teeth. Cutting your dog’s nails once or twice a month is usually enough to keep them from growing too long. Depending on how quickly they grow, you may need to trim nails more often.
Weekly ear checks and carefully cleaning your dog’s ears as needed can help prevent ear infections. Ears should be dry, clean, and free of debris or pests. If you see irritation, redness, excess or discolored discharge, or something else that is concerning, then you know it’s time to visit the vet.
Because many dog owners overlook dental care for dogs, gum disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs. Starting good dental care early and practicing it consistently throughout your dog’s life can help make sure it’s not an issue for your dog. Using an enzyme toothpaste or brushing teeth every day is ideal for helping to prevent painful dental diseases later in life.
