This overview of preventative care will list a few basic things you should be keeping your eye on, and link to more detailed information where we have it.
Habits:
- Appetite - watch for changes and anything atypical
- Amount of play - taking how much exercise opportunity you provide into account
- Amount of sleep - different breeds and sizes may require different amounts
What Proactive owners do for their dogs:
- Ensure they have adequate exercise daily
- Safety proof your home from a dogs eye view
- Brush your dogs teeth - more than milkbone
- Use a vet recommended dog food - make sure it is high in meat protein
- Monitor their skin, coat, eyes and ears for changes in condition
The most important aspect of preventative dog care really comes down to being familiar with your pup, and their normal way of life. Habits may seem like a difficult thing to notice if you sit down to try, so it's more about an active process of paying a little attention. But you'll quickly realize how much that attention matters when something just a little abnormal comes up, and you're able to notice and deal with it before something more problematic comes of it.
