A Cesky Terrier’s daily routine should balance moderate physical exercise with consistent mental engagement. Provide 45 to 60 minutes of daily activity, ideally split into two brisk walks supplemented by play sessions like fetch or hide-and-seek. Feed adult Cesky Terriers twice daily, monitoring portions carefully as they are prone to obesity, while puppies require three to four small meals.
