Puppies really are so lovable and cute that you might finish up taking one home before you figure out what you're really doing. This is undoubtably because you looked into those adorable sad puppy eyes rather than logically thinking that owning a pup is a really big responsibility. Indeed, having a dog as well as attempting to keep him healthy takes a lot of commitment from you, however it does not need to be difficult. The information below contains some helpful hints on keeping your pup healthy.
Puppy nutrition.
You may have noticed there are so many different types of puppy food available, so how can you select the best one? The easy way is to ask your vet what they recommend, but it's probably worth spending some time doing research online, or in pet stores, to find the best puppy foods with quality ingredients. The ingredients should be ones that you would eat, such as meat and vegetables, and not grain fillers and by-products that make digestion hard for your puppy. Keep an eye on the water bowl at all times and keep it filled.
Puppies need lots of love. Puppies grow into dogs and unfortunately, some people lose interest in them after that. Also keep in mind that a bored puppy is a mischievous puppy who can get himself into trouble. create quality time with your pup and always provide enough toys to keep him occupied.
Puppies require exercise that is physical, like playing with other puppies and running around, and exercise that is mental such as hide and seek and fetching a ball. Playing games with your pup provides him (and you!) the exercise he needs. Play ball with your pup, training him to fetch and drop, guess who'll get tired first! Walking your puppy not only provides exercise, but also teaches him to walk, stop and sit on command.
Take care of your puppy's teeth by brushing them and/or giving them safe, hard bones to gnaw. Allow them to get used to getting their nails clipped, their teeth brushed, and their coats brushed while they are still little. You'll thank yourself later!
Your puppy will need to go to the vet for his vaccinations and checkups. Find a good vet upon recommendation and take your puppy in on a pre-determined schedule. The majority of vets will send out a message to remind you when your puppy's appointment is.
You now know that owning a healthy puppy is quite easy. If you've looked into ways to maintain puppy health requirements such as safety, taking him in for vaccinations and checkups, and feeding him the best affordable food, you should have many years of happiness with your new furry friend.
