Japanese Spitz Puppy Weight Calculator

In general, Japanese Terriers are healthy dogs, and conscientious breeders screen their breed for diseases like Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and patellar luxation. They should frequently wash their teeth with dog-specific toothpaste.
Your dog will live a long, healthy life if you take them to the vet on a regular basis for checkups and parasite prevention.

High-quality dog food, whether created commercially or prepared at home under your veterinarian's supervision and approval, should be ideal for the Japanese Terrier. Any diet should be suitable for the dog's age (adult, elderly, or puppy).
Keep an eye on your dog's weight and calorie intake because certain dogs are prone to becoming overweight. Giving too many treats can lead to obesity, although they can be a useful training assistance.
Find out which human foods are safe for dogs and which aren't. If you are worried about your dog's nutrition or weight, consult your veterinarian. There should always be fresh, clean water available.

The silky, short-haired coat of the Japanese Terrier requires little maintenance. His coat will remain healthy and lustrous with a weekly cleaning with a soft brush or hound glove and an occasional bath only when necessary.
His ears should be routinely checked for debris or excess wax accumulation, and if necessary, cleansed using soft gauze and an ear-cleaning solution.
Overly long nails can be uncomfortable for the dog; therefore, they should be cut frequently to keep them tidy and short. If at all possible, brush your teeth every day with dog-specific toothpaste.

Although some Japanese Terriers can occasionally be stubborn and determined, they are incredibly clever and trainable. Training must begin early because of their great level of independence.
It is strongly advised to take early socialization and puppy training programs with positive, reward-based training and mild but firm corrections. Additionally, a terrier and primitive breed-savvy trainer are advised.
They can run off with great enthusiasm; therefore, they are best kept on a lead or in a fenced yard, whether they are in the country or the city. Despite being one of the calmest terrier breeds, they are energetic dogs that need both mental and physical training.
