This is a Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook. Here You will find the definitive Guide To Keep Your Dog Healthy, Happy and Active
Keeping your dog healthy is really just paying attention most of the time. If your dog runs free, there is more of a chance of your pet getting into some sort of difficulty because of the added exposure to more potential harm. If you keep your dog in the house or in a fenced yard, there is a better chance of controlling his or her environment.
There are precautions that can be taken with a new dog such as regular visits to the vet, getting the required shots, proper diet and plenty of water. Of course a lot of love and attention, along with exercise is very important as well.
It is amazing how quickly a dog can get into difficulty sometimes, and a lot of that comes from an intensive curiosity and a lack of fear of things your dog knows nothing about. Dogs like to investigate everything, and if it looks like fun, they will chase it and sometimes catch it. Then the fun begins.
The one thing that any pet owner needs to keep in mind is that your dog only really cares about one thing, and that is you. They will go to great lengths to please their owners, and the devotion and companionship that you will receive from your dog is priceless.
In return, we must watch out for our canine friends, because many of the scrapes and problems they encounter, they really can't do much about themselves, so some practical knowledge in the way of caring for our dogs goes a long way towards keeping them healthy.
