| Authored by-Shepherd Liu Why Is My Dog Throwing Up Undigested FoodIf you are in the market for a new puppy, make sure you will have enough time to devote to his training. On average, you need to take a young dog outside to do his business eight times a day and that can take a lot away from your schedule. Training takes more time and patience than most people realize. If training has become routine and boring with your dog, consider introducing agility exercises into the mix. These will still teach your dog to obey and be challenging, but they tend to be a lot more fun than the regular commands. Get the whole family involved by making an obstacle course and working the dog through it frequently. How Long Can A Dog Survive Without FoodMake sure that you show your dog affection at all times. Similar to other areas of life, dog owners notice a dog's bad behavior rather than the good. This can only lead to future difficulties. Instead, make sure you pet or praise your dog five times more often than you scold him. Dogs stand a much better chance of displaying good behavior if that is the case. If you're on a tight budget at home, think carefully before getting a dog. They actually cost hundreds of dollars annually, but many people don't realize this until they've actually forked over the money. Depending on the size and regular maintenance requirements of your new dog, you could be getting in way over your head and forced to part with him later so make sure beforehand. Which Dog Food Has Never Been RecalledMake your own dog biscuits to provide your beloved canine with the healthiest treats. Most commercial products are over-loaded with chemicals that aren't good for dogs, despite adding flavor and aroma. Use quality ingredients and tell your dog what you're doing in the kitchen! Get him all excited and let him taste-test as soon as they're cool. Before deciding on what type of dog to get for your family, consider space. Even though you may love the bigger dogs that you can really wrap your arms around, you may not have adequate space for a large breed. Take your home and yard size into consideration before bringing home a new pooch. Respect your pet. When out on a walk, do not force your dog to interact with other people or animals if he does not want to. There is a reason why your dog may not want to get too close, and it is important that you listen to him. If you try and make him interact, your dog may begin to act out over time. Dogs tend to get cuts and scrapes on their paws from things they step on. If your dog suffers from a little cut, it should be washed with some form of antiseptic and the bandaged. If the cut is relatively deep, bring your dog to the vet. Be sure to keep your dog's nails clipped in order to prevent injury. This can occur both from the dog scratching itself or also from having its nails get caught in things such as carpet. In order to be sure you are cutting the nails correctly, be sure to check with the veterinarian or groomer. When the weather gets warm, start checking your dog for ticks and fleas. Comb your dog with a good flea comb to eradicate fleas. There are lots of flea and tick products for dogs. Ask your vet what they recommend. If you want a dog, think about a dog training program. You and your dog will have happier lives if the rules are set out and then enforced. Training is simpler with puppies, but older dogs can also learn. Keep your dog safe from dangerous chemicals. Similar to kids, cleaning chemicals and any car maintenance substances are harmful to them. These substances are poisonous, so if a dog gets any on them or ingests any, they could get burned, become very sick, or die. Store your hazardous chemicals in a place that your dog can't get to, or keep them in a closed area using a child-proof lock. Make sure that you carry small bags and gloves with you while you are out walking your dog. If he uses the bathroom outside, it is your responsibility to clean up the mess. It is unsanitary for you to leave it there, and it some places you may receive heavy fines for that. You need to watch your dog's diet. A high-calorie diet is okay in the early stages of a dog's life. When they become adults, if they eat too much, they can become obese which is not healthy. Brush your dog's coat regularly. Brushing will spread the oils evenly in your dog's coat and will keep it healthy and shiny. Besides, brushing will allow you to remove a lot of loose hairs, which could help reduce your dog's shedding. Take your dog to the groomer to have its hairs trimmed if you need to.
