How to care dog

Dogs and humans have been best friends for long. While dogs give unconditional love, loyalty and friendship to their owners, we are responsible for their proper care, food and water, shelter, safety, regular veterinary care and exercise. Here are some tips to take good care of your dogs:

~A nutritionally balanced diet with constant access to fresh water is as good for your dog, as it is for you.
~Trained dogs behave better and share greater bonding with their owners. Use positive reinforcement training techniques to train the dog.
~Walk your dog twice a day to exercise your dog and keep him physically fit. However, the level of exercise depends on the breed and age of the dog.
~Be as loyal and faithful to your canine as you expect him to be to you. Any persistent behaviour problems should be brought to the notice of your veterinarian.

Dog's diet

Right diet can keep your dog fit and fine and their coats shiny and smooth. Healthy dogs are the pride of their owners. Though, you may feed the dog most expensive of all dog foods, they may still be deficient in nourishment or get obese and may need weight control.Here are some things to keep in mind while feeding your dog:

~Raw eggs make biotin unavailable for dog's body and thus consistent use of raw eggs may cause dermatitis, loss of hair, and poor growth in your canine pet.
~Some species of raw fish may cause deficiency of vitamin thiamine in dog's body resulting in loss of appetite, abnormal posture, weakness, seizures and even death.
~A sycophant dog is hard to refuse but overeating may cause several problems such as obesity and depression in dogs.
~Feed your pet at regular intervals and scheduled timings and enough only to keep it in good body condition.
~Use only dog treats and regulate the dog's diet according to the treats you have offered him to keep the static alorie balance.
~Commercial dog foods normally pack in the complete and balanced pet foods to providing optimum nutrition for our dogs.
~Additional calcium is preferable in the diet of pregnant and nursing females and growing pupbut pies and kittens.
~Remember, chocolates are toxic to dogs.
