Dog Health Problems
The Basics of Dog Health & Wellness -- powered by eHow.com
Dog's generally have a higher threshold for pain than humans, and in some cases without an alert owner to changes in their behaviour, illness or injury may be present for a long time before being recognized, making treatment both harder and more expensive. Be alert for changes in behaviour, appearance, eating habits and weight of your dog, on a daily basis.
A few points listed below will help ensure the health and longevity of your dog:
1. Take your dog on an annual checkup with your vet each year and have him appropriately vaccinated.
2. Use a form of heartworm prevention and a good vitamin supplement.
3. Feed fresh, raw food wherever possible.
4. Plenty of love, affection and daily exercise.
5. Regular bathing & teeth cleaning.
