Having regular check-ups with your vet will keep your dog healthy, but there are things you can do every day to keep your dog’s health in tip top shape.Check your dog regularly from nose to tail for any growths, cysts, ticks, fleas, or changes in weight. Remember to check ears, teeth, gums as well as eyes. Detecting changes or abnormalities early may help keep your dog healthier in the long run.
If your dog is experiencing an upset stomach or diarrhea, try poultry or meat flavored baby food. The amount you feed your dog will vary by size – for smaller dogs one jar a day should suffice; medium dogs – two jars; large dogs – three jars. If the diarrhea is persistent, remember to keep up your dog’s liquid intake to minimize chances of dehydration and consult your vet immediately.
We all know the pill in the cheese trick, but when it comes time for your pet to take his medicine try placing the pill in a moist ball of dog food. Check your dog’s mouth or give her a treat to make certain the pill has been swallowed. If she still won’t take the medicine, place the pill on the back of her tongue, hold her mouth shut and gently stoke her throat until she swallows.
