Having a dog as a pet is said to have many benefits for both the pet and the owner.
But having a pet is not just pure bed of roses.
It also involves responsibility on the owner's part.
Feeding the dog, giving the dog a daily bath, grooming, providing a clean pale to sleep, vitamins, proper training etc.
To ensure that your pet is happy and healthy, you need to provide proper physical care as well as nurturing your pet to keep him happy.
Here's a quick guide on how to keep your dog happy with his life with you: Proper diet.
Just like humans, dogs need a healthy, balanced nutrition.
Do not just grab any dog food from the rack just because it promises to provide the right nutrients needed for the dog instead do your own research as to which of the many dog food available in the market is suitable for your fido.
Some dog food are quiet expensive and it may be because it offers so much nutrition compared to the cheap ones.
if this is your first time to welcome a dog in your home or take care of a pet, I suggest you hit the stores and look for samples of dog food before actually purchasing big cans or sacks of dog food because some dogs do not like the taste of certain dog food and if you purchase dog food in bulk then you might just be wasting money if your dog won't eat it.
Shelter.
Majority of dogs would want to live indoors or just within the home of their master.
But if there are circumstances wherein you need to put the dog outside your home i.
e.
one of your kids or other family members has an allergy then make sure that you provide a proper dog house especially on winter or during cold weather.
Exercise.
it's not only the humans who need regular exercise to stay healthy and fit but so does your dog.
It is a must that you walk the dog on a regular basis or you can take your pet with you on your weekend walk to the park.
If you are too busy to walk your dog around the block then hire somebody who can do so.
It is important for your pet to exercise daily just as you do.
Hygiene.
Check out online or in vet stores for products that are suitable for your pet.
There are mouthwash and toothbrush specifically made for dogs.
