your dog’s health and nutrition

healthy. Keeping your dog healthy involves taking him to
the veterinarian, meeting his exercise needs, feeding him
a nutritious diet and keeping him at his optimum weight.
You should take your dog to his veterinarian for
annual checkups and for any required vaccinations or
treatments. It is important that you feel comfortable
with your veterinarian so that you are able to discuss any
concerns you have about your dog's health and nutrition.
Exercising your dog regularly will keep your dog healthy
and happy. When training your dog, keep in mind that
training and exercise are not the same. Even if
you train your dog throughout the day, you will
still need to exercise him.
When choosing a diet for your dog, make sure
you consult with your veterinarian to ensure his
nutritional needs are being met. If you feed your
dog table scraps in addition to his regular diet,
watch for signs of stomach upset and be sure to
account for the extra calories to prevent your
dog from becoming overweight.
