I don’t mean to scare you – just want to put things into perspective for you – your puppy relies on you from the day you bring him home. It need you to feed it, to groom it, play with it, and love it. You are also responcible for your puppy’s health care over its lifetime – you need to make sure he feels and looks good, and to make sure you know when things are not right.

Your puppy health care responsibilities involves things like taking him for his regular checkups at the vet. Or making sure he takes his worming tabs, flea pills. Taking him for his vaccinations on time. And making sure he’s clean, fed, warm and safe.

I know – it is basic – but you’d be surprise what people miss when they are not informed about the things they should look out for. So, to avoid health complications and diseases later on, here are some of the best puppy health care practices to follow:

1. His Food.

Dogs are not picky eaters, but that does not mean that you’re free to feed them anything you want. For one, they are not built the same way we are. If you feed them table scraps, your dog might develop intestinal parasites later on.

Also, their body reacts differently from ours; for example, if you unknowingly feed chocolate to your puppy, STOP IT! It poses a lot of danger, because chocolate contain Theo bromine, a chemical which can be toxic for dogs.

Another mistake that pet owners make is to overfeed their dog. Sure, chubby and plump dogs are adorable, but I sure hope you are not compromising their health because of pure aesthetic reasons. Overweight dogs are susceptible to a lot of illnesses and joint problems. Dogs cannot handle large amounts of food and they don’t know when to stop eating; it’s recommendable to feed your dog once or twice (at the most) a day in small portions – if you’re unsure ask your vet or look on the packet of the particular dog food you buy – they usually have recommendations.

2. His Vaccinations.

When you first take you r puppy to the vet he will be able to give a specific schedule and choice you have for your puppy’s vaccinations. There are some vaccinations that are compulsory, but there are those that are entierely your choice – your vet will help you decide what suits you best.

Here are some of the available vaccinations for more serious diseases, but make sure you ask your vet for more specific advice for basic vaccinations for your puppy’s health care needs.

Distemper vaccination – canine distemper is a very deadly viral dog disease. Some pet owners usually find out too late. Unfortunately, there’s no cure for it so prevention is still your best weapon. Parvovirus vaccination – young pups are usually afflicted by this disease. It’s a highly communicable disease so in order to protect your dog, and other dogs in your neighborhood as well, have your dog vaccinated for parvovirus. Adenovirus vaccination – Dogs contract hepatitis due to canine adenovirus. Your dog should get adenovirus shots to prevent him from getting this disease.

A word of warning: Be aware of what some of the signs are for an allergic reaction to vaccinations. If your dog becomes sluggish or develops hives, or has difficulty breathing, take him to the vet immediately! Now obviously your vet is highly trained, but things happen – and it’s better that you’re prepared on the odd chance that they do.

3. His Grooming.

Coat, teeth, ears and nails – these comprise an important aspect of grooming and of your puppy’s health care. Your puppy will not only look healthy, but it will FEEL healthy too.

Coat – If he has a long or medium length coat brush it every day to avoid hair tangling and matting. For short coats – once every 3-4 days will do. Ears – Clean his ears with moist cotton balls twice a month at least. If you don’t clean your dog’s ears, it could lead to an ear infection – it’s not pleasant for your pooch, and it will cost you to take him to the vet. Teeth – Unlike humans, dogs don’t need their teeth cleaned every day – thank goodness; about twice a week will do. But like humans, your dog can develop cavities if you don’t brush his teeth regularly, so make it an appointment with you doggy friend. Nails – Don’t let your dog’s nails grow too long to prevent him from accidentally scratching you or any family members.

4. Spaying and Neutering.

If you do not plan to breed your own dogs, it’s recommended you consider spaying or neutering your puppy as soon as it is ready. It’s not possible to watch over your dog 24/7; so as a responsible pet owner, try to do something about the continually growing population of dogs. Your vet will be able to advise you on your options.

5. His Status Quo.

This simply means that you should get to know your puppy’s usual disposition. This is very important because only if you know him, you’ll be able to spot if something’s wrong very early – and the earlier you tackle a health problem, the more chance you have of curing it and saving yourself and your loved pooch grief.

6. His Safety.

We all love to think nothing will ever go wrong – and I sure hope it never does with you and your pup. But reality sometimes hits us unexpectedly – so that’s why I always advise my friends to take up even the most basic of pet insurances for their dog. Make sure it covers the things you feel you won’t be able to afford in an emergency, the rest you can pay for as and when you need to – this way insurance doesn’t have to be expensive.

Remember, a healthy dog makes a happy dog. If you follow these dog care practices, your dog would enjoy a longer and more stress-free life.
