Dog Health From Nose to Tail

Excellent piece today from DogMagazine.net....

Today I'm reminded of this famous quote by billionaire investor Warren Buffet on looking after one's physical and mental health...

"If you were given a car and told it's the only car you'll ever be allowed to own, you'd be sure to read the manual really carefully and service it all the time."

Our dog's bodies are the only ones they'll ever be allowed to own, but they don't have their own manual and they can only do so much in terms of looking after themselves. The rest is down to us.

So I thought it'd be useful to list some resources that we can use as our working dog manual....

1. Dog teeth
2. Dog joints
3. Older dogs
4. Dog worms
5. Dog fleas
6. Dog weight

If we can keep on top of our dog's oral health, their joints, look out for them as they get older, make sure they steer clear of fleas and worms, keep their weight under control and make sure their minds are kept active - we'll be doing our bit to ensure they are well serviced and their body's are in the best hands.
