🧰Accessories for a Fox Terrier: harness, bowls and essentials
Fox Terrier : An S-size Y-harness, a long line, and for the wire variety a regular grooming budget (40 to 70 € per professional stripping session). A treat-dispensing toy usefully occupies this dog that hates being bored.
In short: Small dog of 36 to 39 cm and 7 to 9 kg, wire or smooth mostly white coat, very high energy. A joyful bundle of nerves, always ready to play, dig and chase. Its hunting instinct never fades: a 10 m long line stays accessory number one around rabbits and cats.
Harness and lead sized for the Fox Terrier
The right harness for a 7 to 9 kg Fox Terrier: Y-cut, size S to M, two adjustment points minimum — too loose it twists, too tight it blocks the shoulder. Add a 10-metre long line for outings: freedom without escape risk — it transforms walks for such an active dog.
Bowls and daily kit
