Within this website we will discuss the best ways for caring for a dog. There are many issues you will face when you are caring for your babies such as: How to best potty train a puppy, when your dog is sick, dog is pregnant, dog is not eating, dog periods, dog weaning, etc. These issues need to be tackled so that the dog lives a happy life with you as it’s human.
Here are a few tips to get started solving these issues:
1. How to best potty train a puppy: The high success rate can be achieved with crate training. But this is not the only way to go. Other ways include taking him outside, only feed him and give him water when you can take the dog outside immediately. There are many other methods you can use for this.
2. Dog is sick: The good dog owners know when there is something wrong with the dog. If the dog is feeling sick or is not feeling well, the symptoms of sick dog will start to appear. When you see anything abnormal with the dog it is best to visit the veterinarian, but check out the book to the right; click on the book to get more information.
3. Dog is pregnant: When you know your dog is pregnant, find out how long the dog has been pregnant. The dog’s gestation period is about 60 days. You need to take care of her diet, make sure she gets the exercise by taking her for walk every day, do not vaccinate a pregnant dog, and about a fortnight prior to the delivery date prepare a whelping box.
4. Dog not eating: There are many reasons for the dogs not eating. Some of them are, food smell, their genetical structure (some might attack the food, some might just sniff around for a while), weather (sometimes they do not eat during hot weather) and a lack of exercise. You can try to negate these issues by changing the food they are eating, making sure they exercise etc and check out the book on Caring for a Dog and Dog Health.
5. Dog periods: These start to appear when the female dog reaches puberty. Most of the female dogs have two cycles per year. Most female dogs bleed during period so try to keep them in a room with tiles or if possible in the back yard.
6. Dog Weaning: It is convenient to start weaning when the puppies are three weeks old. Decrease the dog’s food gradually as the weaning goes on. You need to keep changing the type food the dog gets during this period.
We have discussed some common issues faced during dog care and also seen some of the solutions in brief. However, caring for a dog is a huge subject and it is just not possible to discuss everything in detail.
