Keep your furry friend happy and healthy with these expert recommendations
Feed your dog a balanced diet appropriate for their age, size, and activity level. Avoid toxic foods like chocolate, grapes, and onions. Provide fresh water at all times.
Regular walks and playtime are essential for physical and mental health. Adjust intensity based on your dog's age and breed characteristics.
Stay current with vaccinations, flea/tick prevention, and heartworm medication. Regular vet checkups can catch potential health issues early.
Use puzzle toys, training sessions, and new experiences to keep your dog's mind active and prevent boredom-related behaviors.
Brush your dog's teeth regularly and provide dental chews. Poor dental health can lead to serious systemic issues.
Provide a clean, safe space with appropriate bedding. Adjust your home for senior dogs with ramps or orthopedic beds if needed.
