Keep Your Dog in Good Health

Maximillian Headroom | September 2nd, 2009

Taking your dog to the vet could be a debilitating experience for you and your dog. However, it’s necessary to guarantee your dog of a healthy, cheerful and long life.Your dog should see the vet annually for yearly checkups, shots and a blood test for heart worm. Always take your dog to the doctor instantly if it is sick or wounded.

Puppies will have to be immunized with a “5 in 1″ combo vaccine at two, three and four months old, followed by yearly shots. This vaccine inoculates your puppy from hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvovirus, parainfluenza and distemper. An unvaccinated dog that’s older than 4 or 5 months old will be necessary to have a sequence of 2 vaccination shots administered 2 – 3 weeks apart.

Some states need a rabies vaccination for your dog which should be given annually for 2 years and followed up by boosters every 3 years. If your animal becomes sick and wasn’t correctly vaccinated, be certain to administer the vaccine once the animal has completely recovered.

Heart worm is a standard and lethal parasite. It lives in the dog’s heart and is broadcast by mosquitoes. Each spring, it’s a smart idea to get your dog tested for heart worm. This test will identify whether your dog was infected the year before. During mosquito season, you can give your dog an once-a-month tablet to guard it. If you live in a warm climate throughout the year, it is sensible to consistently monitor and administer heartworm medicine.

Roundworms and hookworms are also on the roster of disabling doggie sicknesses. When you kiss or get licked by your dog and you breathe the “dog breath” this could not just be a case of gingivitis. Your dog’s halitosis is an indication to you that your dog can have a significant liver or abdominal disease, diabetes, kidney illness or simply wishes to go to the dentist.

A regular dental check-up and cleaning will establish if your dog’s mouth has bacteria and plaque which will require pro treatment. You can maintain your dog’s good dental health by brushing the teeth on a constant basis and feeding it dental treats to munch on. With a kid’s soft toothbrush, the owner can clean the canine’s teeth with dog toothpaste or baking soda and water paste weekly. If your dog’s dog breath is accompanied by other signs of sick health like depression, loss of appetite or puking, take your dog to the vet to get a full check-up. Always take a look at your dog for fleas and ticks and never feed your dog medicine which has not been prescribed.
