How to Keep Your Dog Healthy

If your main priority as a dog owner is to ensure that your dog remains healthy and happy, continue reading to discover a handy guide which is full of dog care suggestions which will help you keep your precious pooch healthy or click here for more information.

How to Keep Your Dog Healthy:

Take your dog to your local vet for a checkup every 12 months:

Even if your dog seems perfectly healthy and happy, it’s critical to take your dog to your chosen vet, at least once a year for a general checkup. As the best treatment is prevention and your vet may pick up on a small issue, which could become a serious issue over time. For example, your vet may discover that your dog has started to put on excess weight and may be able to recommend a specific type of dog food which will help your dog lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. It could also be wise to buy a pet insurance policy which can help you lessen the overall costs of expensive veterinary bills.

Weigh your dog on a regular basis:

You can also monitor your dog’s weight yourself, by using the free electronic pet scales at your nearest pet store or veterinary clinic. Alternatively, if you have a small dog, you can weigh your dog by weighing yourself holding your dog on a traditional scale. Once you’ve put your dog down, weigh yourself without your dog and you’ll be able to subtract that sum from your first sum, to figure out your dog’s weight.

Prevent your dog from being infected with ticks and fleas:

In order to prevent your dog from becoming infested with ticks and fleas, it’s crucial to purchase preventative flea and tick treatments. There are a few different types of products which you can use to keep fleas and ticks away from your precious pooch. You can apply a topical treatment to your dog’s coat, every few months, you can give your dog an oral tablet or you can place a tick and flea repellent collar on your dog.

However, you should only use a tick and flea repellent collar as an extra precaution and should always opt to use a topical treatment such as Frontline or an oral tablet, to keep your dog tick and flea free.

Use healthy chews to keep your dog’s taste buds satisfied:

Whether you’re looking for dog treats to reward your dog for learning new commands or good behavior or you’re simply looking to purchase healthy dog treats for your furry friend, it’s well worth purchasing Healthy Chews. As not only do they contain rawhide which your dog will love chewing on but they’re also 100% safe for your dog to consume. So you won’t have to worry about your dog encountering a splinter in their dog chew. Lastly some of Healthy Chews’ products also include natural ingredients which will aid your dog’s digestive system.

Make sure to keep your dog’s coat shiny and healthy:

Make sure that you bathe your dog on a regular basis and brush your dog’s coat at least 1-2 times per week. Although, each breed of dog requires a different grooming requirement and some dogs such as Chow Chows require more frequent grooming than dogs which have a low maintenance coat such as pugs.

If you follow all of the dog care suggestions which have been listed out in the handy dog care guide above, you should have no issues keeping your dog healthy and happy!
