Tips to take care of your pet dog

Always maintain a clean environment for your pets to live with good shelter and hygiene. Fresh water should be always available. Hydration is essential for all living beings. Diet should be good and balanced. Do not overfeed to let your pets be obese. Obesity is good neither for humans nor for animals. Each dog is different as its breed, age, size etc. are not same. Consult your Vet for a proper diet for your dog depending on its nutritional requirements. Also regular examinations of your dog by the Vet should not be overlooked. Parasite control, vaccinations all should be done as per the doctor’s instructions. Keep the records with you always. Contact the Vet when you pet seems ill or injured.

Take your dog for walks, give it exercise to keep it active and in shape. Make a bond with your dog, after all dogs are believed to be human’s best friend. Give simple training to your dogs like fetching things etc. Most importantly, control reproduction as mating can give birth to a lot of unnecessary puppies. Spray or neutering is an option. Consulting with your veterinarian is essential in this matter. Like humans, dogs have dental problems too. Gum diseases and infections are common. Tooth loss can cause infections in vital organs too. So this is very important. Nail trimming and grooming is important. Dogs with long coats of hair can develop matts, ice balls etc. in their hair. Nails can grow and make it difficult for the dog to walk and can break and cause pain.
