About the Border Terrier

The Border Terrier comes from the Cheviot Hills along the English-Scottish border, where it was bred to keep pace with horses on the hunt and bolt foxes from their dens. Its otter-shaped head is one of the breed's signatures.

Affectionate, adaptable, and full of terrier pluck, Borders make wonderful family companions. Their busy, active lifestyle is part of why daily wellness is worth thinking about early.

Adding a high-quality daily supplement to your Border Terrier's routine is a great way to support their overall health. Pair it with a healthy diet, daily walks and play, regular vet care, and occasional hand-stripping.

What's the best supplement for Border Terriers?

A daily supplement personalized to your Border Terrier supports a healthy, active life, with targeted support for the areas they need most: their joints, skin and coat, digestion, and calm and focus. The right balance depends on their age, weight, activity level, lifestyle and what you are seeing day to day.

A few quick questions is all it takes to build one formula around them.

Get Started

Joint support

Border Terriers are small but tough working terriers, built to keep up with horses on the hunt. Their hips and knees stay busy with all that running and digging. Keeping them lean, steady daily exercise, and pet stairs for furniture help keep them moving comfortably.

How supplements add support

Every Canine Keeps formula starts with our Keepwell Blend™, which includes green-lipped mussel, collagen, and PEA to support cartilage, cushioning, and everyday mobility, plus omega-3s from fish oil and DHA. Most diets don't provide joint-specific nutrients like these in meaningful amounts, so a daily serving keeps them consistent. If joints are your Border Terrier's top priority, their Balanced Blend adds more targeted support on top.

Skin & coat support

That wiry, weather-resistant coat is low-maintenance, but it still benefits from regular care, and the skin underneath can get itchy as the seasons change. Weekly brushing, hand-stripping a couple of times a year, and gentle baths help, and because skin comfort is connected to the gut and immune system, support from the inside matters too.

How supplements add support

Canine Keeps supports skin and coat from the inside, with omega-3s from fish oil and DHA, antioxidant-rich blueberry and spirulina, and probiotics that support the gut-immune connection behind seasonal comfort. Whole foods provide some antioxidants, but every scoop adds a concentrated, consistent amount.

Gut & digestive support

Some Border Terriers have sensitive stomachs, and their curiosity means they'll taste-test plenty along the way. A healthy gut means comfortable digestion, regular stools, and support for nutrient absorption. A consistent diet, gradual food switches, and limiting rich treats go a long way.

How supplements add support

Every Canine Keeps formula includes multiple strains of probiotics, including spore-forming strains that hold up well in the bowl, plus a prebiotic to help them thrive. If digestion is your Border Terrier's top priority, their Balanced Blend adds extra digestive support on top.

Calm & focus support

Friendly, plucky, and full of energy, Border Terriers have plenty of terrier spirit. Without enough to do, they can dig, chase, or get vocal. Daily walks, play, and training games help them feel content and settled.

How supplements add support

Every Canine Keeps formula includes calming botanicals like ashwagandha and chamomile in our Keepwell Blend™, plus omega-3s that support brain health. If calm is your Border Terrier's top priority, their Balanced Blend adds calming support with ingredients like L-theanine and passionflower.

Why Canine Keeps for Border Terriers

Get My Dog's Formula

Even a great diet doesn't always cover everything a Border Terrier needs. Every Canine Keeps formula starts with a foundation of everyday support, then adds targeted ingredients based on your dog's unique needs.

Our formulas are made with premium, human-grade ingredients, formulated by a canine nutritionist, and minimally processed to protect delicate nutrients. Their daily serving is based on their weight, so small dogs get the right amount, and because it mixes right into their meal, it adds support without the fillers and empty calories that come with many soft chews.

It's support that grows with them, from the puppy years, when building a strong foundation matters most, to their senior years, when a little extra support helps keep their best days going.

What dog parents are saying

“Lily loves her Canine Keeps. Her stool has been firmer, and seems to be less itchy! She actually enjoys her food more now that this is on it.”
Arum K.Lily
“Duke's balanced blend has been a great addition to his diet. With his age (14) he's a very picky eater, but scarfs his food down with the powdered blend. His skin/coat, digestion, and joints have been reenergized.”
Davin Z.Duke, 14 years old
“I've noticed benefits from him on this supplement blend already! He seems to have way more balanced energy, no hip or joint stiffness, and generally happier all around.”
George R.
“Not only does he love the taste of the powder on his food, but I've noticed an improvement in his itching and paw licking! Such an easy and tailored solution to giving your pet supplements.”
Kate P.Murphy

Border Terrier questions, answered

When should I start joint support for my Border Terrier?

The earlier, the better. Busy, active terriers put a lot of work into their joints, and joint support works best as a consistent daily habit that starts early. Every Canine Keeps formula includes it, and our formulas are recommended for dogs 6 months and older.

My Border Terrier has a sensitive stomach. Can a supplement help?

Yes. Daily gut support helps maintain a balanced gut and comfortable digestion. If digestion is your Border Terrier's top priority, their personalized formula adds extra digestive support on top. Pair it with a consistent diet and gradual food switches.

How long until I notice a difference?

Many dog parents notice a difference within the first couple of weeks. The best results come with about 90 days of consistent daily use, as the benefits build over time. That's why our flexible deliveries make it easy to never miss a day, and why every order is backed by our 90-day risk-free guarantee.
