Comments on How to Care for a Miniature Schnauzer

When feeding your pet pumpkin, you do not want to feed the pie filling. You want to get the 100% canned pumpkin. Never, ever, feed a dog chocolate of any kind. Grapes are also toxic, as well as onions.

Chocolate can kill a dog of any breed. If your dog happens to eat chocolate, there's a simple way to prevent death. This works best when you first find that your dog ate chocolate. You might want to take you dog outside for this one. First you'll need: * Salt *Teaspoon *Leash First take you dog outside. Then fill you teaspoon full of salt, open your dogs mouth wide open, pour the salt into the very back of your dogs throat. Make sure you pour in a full teaspoon. Then walk your dog back and forth. Your dog will begin to vomit. Doing this will allow all of the chocolate to be emptied from your dogs stomach. One hour after your dog have vomited up all the chocolate it has ate, give it a teaspoon of Pepto-Bismol. This will settle it's stomach. We have had to do this to our dog a few times. It works great. Hopefully it works for you also.

Schnauzers should have a diet low in protein and low in fat due to inherent problems in the breed.

Make sure that your Miniature Schnauzer doesn't eat any chocolate. It can cause diabetes :(

We bike and our Miniature Schnauzer runs. It is a great way for your dog to run daily! Our dog loves it!

Following a round of medicines to treat a yeast in infection in our schnauzer pup's ears, our border recommended feeding a spoonful of plain yogurt with a meal each day. Our puppy thinks he's getting ice cream, and we haven't had any yeast recurrences. I guess yogurt works for our canine friends, too!

NEVER feed a dog any kind of chocolate. It is poison to every breed of dog and will seriously injure them (if you are lucky enough to avoid killing them)!

Schnauzers are very intelligent and active dogs. Keep plenty of toys around so they do not get bored and become frustrated and destructive.

Miniature Schnauzers also get something called "Schnauzer Bumps." At first, we thought they were from being groomed (or flea bites), and a trip to the vet told us that they really are from being groomed. It is a sort of eczema along the back, from the shoulders to the tail. The vet gave us some type of shampoo to give to the groomer. Each time she was groomed, she was also shampooed. There are no more bumps.

I have 3 miniature schnauzers, they are my 3rd, 4th and 5th ones. I find that brushing off the dead skin every 7-10 days, shampooing with very moisturizing shampoos and good conditioners followed by using VO 5 keeps their skin in excellent condition.

excellent treat for Miniature Schnauzers for their skin and eyes. This is also good for any breed that has any diarrhea and needs fiber and nourishment.

I have one with Cushings and I am doing natural medicine which includes, Sun Chlorella for Pets, Antronex from Standard Process ( 1/2 tablet), avoderm booster (1/4 tsp) and also very important I buy organic chicken livers at whole foods and I freeze them. I then microwave the small packages I have for about 10 seconds and cut small pieces into her food, raw and frozen about 1 tsp worth daily. she is doing very well. her cortisol levels are normal, then you have to deal with the histamine/allergy aspect. I use benadryl dye free with a small dropper or chlortrimetron ( you can buy equate walmart brand) 1/2 tablet. when needed as far as allergies. hope this helps someone who has this problem! ( she gets all natural treats, teenie greenies, dried chicken breasts ( costco is the cheapest) no more rawhide etc. all natural. Liver is compromised with this disease..also all my dogs take alfafa powder in their food, very inexpensive and helps digestion and is very good for alot of things!

Please don't feed your Schnauzer a diet with 20% fat. Schnauzers are prone to hyperlipidemia (fatty blood) and should only be fed a diet with 10% fat at most. Schnauzers are not "barky" unless terribly bored.

Our Schnauzer gets terribly dry skin following a bath, especially in winter. Our veterinarian recommended a liquid vitamin supplement containing fish oil. It has worked wonders.
