1. Exercise

Exercise is the first step towards keeping your dog fit. Dogs need exercise just like humans do. And if they don’t get enough exercise, their bodies start to break down. A lot of people think that dogs only need walks, but they actually benefit from lots of different forms of exercise. So, whatever kind of activity you choose, make sure it’s something that your dog likes doing. If he doesn’t enjoy it then it won’t work.

2. Feed him well

When you give your dog food, make sure that it contains protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. You should also ensure that it meets his nutritional requirements. Your vet can help you find out what these are. He will also be able to tell you whether your dog is overweight or underweight. If your dog is overweight, he may have problems with his joints. Make sure that you keep him active and take him for regular walks.

3. Cleanliness

Dogs love to play in muddy places. But if they live in a house where they can’t go outside, they can still end up getting dirty. So, make sure that you clean them regularly. Use a brush and a wet cloth to remove any mud and dirt.

4. Vaccinations

Vaccination is an important part of keeping your dog healthy. There are many vaccines that protect against illnesses like distemper, parvovirus, rabies and others. Speak to your vet about which ones you need to vaccinate your dog against.

5. Treatments

If your dog gets sick, it’s important that you treat him right away. Get him to the vet immediately if he starts showing symptoms. Don’t wait until he becomes seriously ill before taking action.
