TAKING CARE OF YOUR PET DOGS

Being the proud owner of a dog is something you cherish but this prize comes at a cost. You have to devote yourself and be regular at taking care of your dog , that is the only way to make sure that you will enjoy the company of your pet. Your duties start early in the morning when have to take the dog for a walk and then come back home to feed them the morning meal. This may take regular attention and you are required to have a fixed routine to be able to complete your duties towards your dear dog.

Daily bath is again very essential for your dogs because they have furry skin and they are always exposed to the dust and dirt outside your home so they run a high risk of catching flees etc and daily bath and brushing is very much required to make sure that these infections do not reach other members of the house. Try using a good quality shampoo or soaps specially made for dogs which will take care of the filth and infections which your dog may get exposed to while he is outside. After you come back home, the dog jumps at you and wants to play and you feel like hugging him so make sure you are hugging a neat and clean dog.

Then you need to be specially careful about giving the right food to your dog. There are a wide range of pedigree food packages available off-the-shelf today and you can buy them if you have a tight schedule, but the best thing to do(only if you can manage it) will be to prepare the meal for dog at home itself. You can give the dog bread and milk, which they eat very happily. For non-vegetarian dogs you can boil meat at home and give it to them without putting any salt or peeper on it. Never let your dog eat salt or sugar, this harms them much more and much quickly than you can imagine.

A good dog is the one with strong mind and strong bones. You need to provide freedom to your dog on a regular basis so he can do running around and get some exercise for his limbs. Exercise and jogging benefits the dogs us as much as it benefits you and me , so do not take a short-cut and do not act lazy when its time to take your dear dog for running in a park. Sitting Idle and not doing any regular physical exercise will definitely harm your dog's over-all strength, fitness and life span. To make sure your dog leads a long healthy and fit life, you have to set them free for at least half an hour per day in a park or some big open lawn where they can run around and play and get some exercise for their entire body parts. The best thing would be to get some Dog toys such as balls etc which you can use to make them run around.
