Tips to prevent injuries and keep your dog healthy

 

Want to help your dog live a pain-free, healthy life? Check out these tips!

 

These simple tips can help your dog avoid injuries.

  1. Avoid ball throwing. Any toy that causes a dog to change direction quickly can lead to injuries over time. Choose toys that stop where they land instead of ones that bounce or roll.

  2. Feed a good quality diet. A healthy, varied diet rich in omega-3s will help to keep your dog in top condition.

  3. Make your home dog-friendly. Tiles can cause dogs to repeatedly slip, so choose floor coverings with grip or put down non-slip rugs.

  4. Discourage jumping. This is particularly important for dogs that are young, old or injured. Use steps or ramps with grip where necessary.

  5. Daily exercise. Dogs need regular exercise, both for mental stimulation and to maintain good muscle condition.

  6. Regular vet visits. Ensure you dog has a check-up regularly and discuss any concerns or changes with your vet.
