Having Healthy Pups: A Few Tips on Keeping Your Dog Healthy
The responsibility of a new pet is sometimes overwhelming. One
of your new duties as a dog owner is to take care of your pet's
health. Here are two pointers for you to follow in taking care
of your pet.
- The Veterinarian Is our Friend
Part of your duty as a dog owner is to know when to call for the
vet. Don't take a "wait and see" attitude when it comes to your
pet's health. Sometimes, that approach is fine but

professional help is needed to treat your dog's sickness.
Depending on the dog's condition, there are many ways a
veterinarian may help.
There are several instances when it is essential that you call
your veterinarian:
a) Always call your vet when your dog has been in an accident.
If your regular veterinarian is not available, look for the
closest emergency vet clinic.
b) Always call your vet when you suspect your dog has eaten
something that may be poisonous

or something inedible.
c) Call your vet immediately when your pet is in obvious
distress.
d) Sudden weight gain or weight loss should be a warning sign
for you to take your dog to the vet.
e) If your dog is coughing, vomiting or having seizure, call the
vet immediately.
- An Ounce of Prevention Is Better Than A Pound Of Cure

responsibility.
Remember, that good food and exercise insures a long life for
your pet. A balanced diet and a regimen of exercise helps
prevent sickness and strengthens your pet. Monitor what your
pets eat. Clean your dog's cage regularly to get rid of any
disease-causing bacteria. Check your dog's water supply. Make
sure it's clean and healthy for your pet.
Keep your dog on a leash. Running in front of a car is not very
good for your dog's health and heaven knows where your pet

Give your dog a regular bath. Fleas and ticks can give your dog
extreme discomfort and are often carriers of disease.
Of course, keeping your dog in tip-top shape goes beyond these
pointers. It's always advisable to ask a veterinarian for
additional health tips and as your experience with your pet
grows, you'll think up of a couple more rules that are special
