"REMEMBER HUMANS, he is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, and his leader. He will be yours, faithful & true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

P.S. Always finish your day with a milk bone & a hug (bone for me, hug for you)!"

Top Ten Ways You Can Positively Impact your Dog’s Health

1. Veterinary Care. Every pet can benefit form regular veterinary check-ups and routine veterinary care.

2. Vaccinations. Be sure to talk with your veterinarian about the right vaccination schedule for your dog (or new puppy).

3. Ideal Body Condition. To protect your dog’s overall health, keep him in ideal body condition.

4. Proper Nutrition. Your dog’s nutritional needs may change throughout his life. That’s why my owners feed us a variety of lifestage and special needs formulas, designed to provide optimal nutrition from puppyhood through the senior years.

5. Exercise. Just like you, your dog needs regular exercise. Making sure your dog gets proper exercise will help ensure good body condition and a healthier life.

6. Grooming. Regular grooming helps you learn what is normal for your pet, enabling you to observe changes that may be warning signs of potential health problems.

7. Dental Care. At- home dental care helps reduce plaque and tartar accumulation between your dog’s professional dental cleanings (performed by your veterinarian).

8. First Aid Preparedness. In an emergency, keep a level head and quickly get your dog to the veterinarian. You should call first, so be sure to keep emergency phone numbers for your vet and a 24-hour pet clinic near your telephone.

9. Training. Your dog looks to you for the guidance he needs to grow into a well-behaved member of your family. And remember, older dogs as well as puppies can benefit from obedience classes.

10. Socialization. What your dog learns about people and his environment will stay with him for the rest of his life. While there are optimum ages when it is best to introduce puppies to other dogs, people, other animals, and new environments, socialization must be continual or it will be forgotten.
