Tips For Raising A Healthy And Happy Dog

Dogs bring a lot of love to your life as an owner. A dog makes a great family pet, or a companion for someone who lives alone. If you have a dog, try these tips out to help make its life even better. Always make sure to keep any prescription medications away from your dog. The same holds true for over-the-counter meds. If your dog has access to these pills, there can be fatal consequences. If, by chance, a dog does eat some of your pills, contact the vet right away.

Choose a dog in that can easily and happily blend into your lifestyle. If you are a hunter for example, perhaps a retriever is the dog for you. If you spend more time in the home, a more sedate, indoor dog will fit your lifestyle best. When you match your traits and the traits of your pet, you will both be happy. Provide your dog with rawhide to chew on rather than actual meat bones. Real bones can splinter and can get caught in your dog's mouth or digestive tract. Rawhide is a great treat you can use in lieu of real bones.

Buy or build a dog house if he is going to be outside for long periods in the winter. If his feet get wet, being exposed to extreme weather can cause health issues and stress. Keep your dog safe by giving him shelter. Never force a dog to do something. If you've bought a treat that your dog doesn't seem to interested in, don't try to make your dog eat it. The best judge of what your dog likes is the dog himself. Fancy name brands mean nothing.

When you get a new dog, set up an appointment for him at the vet. Make the appointment when you buy your dog. The veterinarian will set the dog up with the proper vaccinations and give it a routine health checkup. Unwanted puppies are a tragedy, so make sure your dog gets spayed or neutered.

If your dog seems lonely or seems to have separation anxiety, leave the radio or a CD on when you leave the house. Your dog will appreciate the company of the sound, and he will feel more secure. It can help his anxiety as he waits for your return.

If you have one dog that seems lonely or is by himself often, consider another dog. Dogs are pack animals by their very nature and usually prefer the company of their own kind. Get dogs of similar energy levels and temperaments for the best results.

Make sure you exercise both your dog's mind and its body. Find ways for your dog to help you each day, such as training it to fetch the morning paper. Many dogs were originally bred to work, and will get frustrated if you do not give them a job to do.

A lot goes into owning and caring for a dog. It is more than just providing food and walking your dog occasionally. It's important to know the correct way to take care of your dog. Then you and your pet can have a long and happy life together.
