Caring for Teeth
- Dogs need regular dental care. Dogs should have their teeth brushed at least once a week.
- Make sure to use a toothbrush and toothpaste that is made especially for dogs.
Ear Care
- Ear care for your dog is very important. Dirt and debris in the ear can lead to inflammation and infection.
- Routine ear care helps to dry the ear canal and assists in preventing chronic inflammation and infection of the external ear canal.
Choosing Dog Bowls
- Dogs who have sensitive skin and are prone to allergic reactions should have a dog bowl that is stainless steel.
- Both stainless steel and ceramic bowls are easier to clean.
- You also have the option to get collapsible dog bowls that are ideal for travel and excursions.
Dog care and exercise are important components of responsible pet ownership.
Exercise
- Size and breed will affect the level of activity your dog needs.
- Give your dog enough playtime every day.
- Playtime is also great bonding time.
We have a couple additional dog care tips that are sometimes overlooked areas of dog care and are good to note:
Tips on Dog Collars
- Check fit by checking to see if you can place two fingers under the collar.
- Be sure you aren't able to remove the collar over your dog's head.
- Dogs prone to tracheal problems are better off with a harness.
- Dogs with a thick coat do better with a rolled leather collar.
Tips for Excessive Barkers
- Keep your dog occupied as much as possible, as barking often occurs when your dog is bored.
- Block your dog's access to window areas.
- Avoid leaving your dog home alone for long periods. Be sure to leave plenty of chew toys.
- Refrain from yelling as it only encourages your dog to bark more.
Knowing how to take care of a dog will help you enable your dog to live a long and happy life.
