Toby is adorable. I have 2 Minis of my own, Simon and Barney. Both are senior citizens - they are 14 years old but doing well. Minis are generally long-lived dogs. Minis can have skin problems - mostly allergic reactions from eating food with too many chemicals in it. Try and feed Toby an all-natural dog food if you can. Things too avoid - foods with preservatives and other ingredients such as corn and wheat. These are the prime culprits for allergic skin reactions in dogs. Simon and Barney didn't develop skin problems until they were about 3-4 years old. They now eat a food called Nutro Natural Choice and their skin condition is good. Good luck with Toby. Minis are the smartest and cutest dogs in the world and I'm sure you will have many happy years being "owned" by Toby.- tlady USA |
