Boston Terrier Health Risks and How Food Can Help

Knowing your Boston Terrier's vulnerabilities helps you make smarter feeding decisions.

Sensitive dogs deserve meals that are both nourishing and worth licking the bowl for. Our chef-crafted recipes combine human grade ingredients, gentle cooking, and nutrition developed with animal nutritionists and vets to support everyday mealtime comfort.

    Ear infections are common in Boston Terriers and frequently tied to food sensitivities and the ongoing inflammation driven by poor diet quality.

“Our 15 yr old chihuahua lost interest in eating. We took her to the vet, but her health was fine. We then tried Tom&Sawyer and she does her happy dance whenever it's meal time. She has a lot more energy and is definitely thriving.”

Common Questions About Fresh Dog Food for Boston Terriers

Is gently-cooked dog food good for Boston Terriers?

Yes, gently-cooked dog food can be a suitable choice for Boston Terriers. Cooking at low heat preserves the natural vitamins and minerals found in fresh ingredients, which are often destroyed in high-heat kibble manufacturing. Boston Terriers with itchy paws & skin may especially benefit from the improved digestibility of gently-cooked meals.

How often should I feed my Boston Terrier?

Adult Boston Terriers are commonly fed two meals per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Boston Terrier puppies are often fed three to four smaller meals per day. Consistent feeding times may help regulate digestion and energy levels, which may be helpful for Boston Terriers prone to ear infections.

What protein sources are best for Boston Terriers?

Suitable protein options for Boston Terriers may include high-quality, named animal proteins, chicken, beef, turkey, or fish. For Boston Terriers prone to itchy paws & skin, a single-protein or limited ingredient recipe can help identify and avoid triggers. Tom&Sawyer uses human grade meat in every recipe, with no byproducts or mystery proteins.

What is human grade dog food and why does it matter for Boston Terriers?

Human grade dog food means every ingredient meets the same safety and quality standards as food made for people. For Boston Terriers, this matters because it avoids the low-quality byproducts and fillers found in most commercial pet food. Tom&Sawyer prepares all meals in a human grade kitchen in Canada, regulated to AAFCO standards.

How much should I feed my Boston Terrier per day?

Boston Terrier feeding amounts depend on their weight, age, and activity level. As a general guide, most Boston Terriers do well with two meals per day, morning and evening. Use the Tom&Sawyer Feeding Calculator to get a portion size tailored specifically to your dog.

Are Tom&Sawyer meals suitable for Boston Terrier puppies?

Tom&Sawyer dog meals are formulated for adult maintenance. If you have a Boston Terrier puppy, speak with your veterinarian about their growth-stage nutrition needs. In Canada, Puppy Booster may be available for some puppies, but it is not available in the U.S. and should be used only when appropriate for your dog.

What ingredients should I look for in dog food for my Boston Terrier?

For Boston Terriers, prioritize recipes with a named animal protein as the first ingredient, such as chicken, beef, or turkey. Helpful features can include whole vegetables, healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, and no artificial preservatives or fillers. Given that Boston Terriers can be prone to itchy paws & skin, easily digestible proteins and minimal ingredient lists are especially important.
