As pet parents, the safety of our four-legged best friends is a high priority. That’s why we have created a list of the best safety tips for your pooch.<\/p>\n
Even if your pooch is well-trained, you never know what could startle him or distract him. Dogs may be distracted by unexpected noises or activities or may be drawn to something further away from you.<\/p>\n
There are many hazards that could await once your pet is away from your property or out of your sight. As an owner, it\u2019s your responsibility to make sure that your pet stays where he or she is allowed to be.<\/p>\n
To ensure your dog is a good citizen and to keep him out of dangerous situations,\u00a0it is extremely important that he\u00a0learns to understand and obey certain basic commands.<\/p>\n
Most people are aware that chocolate can be very harmful in certain quantities. Other foods that are potentially toxic to dogs include avocado, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, raw eggs, candy and anything with caffeine in it.<\/p>\n
Make a point to regularly check your pet\u2019s toys and look for wear and tear. Anything that\u2019s cracked, splintered or ragged should be thrown away so it doesn\u2019t become a choking hazard.<\/p>\n
Just like you, your pet can suffer from gum disease, tooth loss, and tooth pain. And just like you, regular brushing and oral cleanings help keep your pet\u2019s teeth strong and healthy.<\/p>\n
Exercise! In order to stay healthy and fit, and to fight disease, dogs need both mental and physical stimulation on a daily basis.\u00a0\u00a0A normal healthy dog will benefit from 2 exercise sessions a day.<\/p>\n
