Good dog health and happiness for Charlie

Our Charlie's dog health was a very important issue to us in our family. It all started when he was a puppy of course. Aside fromrepparttar fun and laughter he brought into our lives he brought us new found responsibilities we hadn't concerned ourselves with BC. With some common sense and attention dog health shouldn't have to be a major family issue. Here's how we dealt with Charlie.

A few dog health issues:

Feeding –

This is normallyrepparttar 125660 easy and fun part. Be careful though because there's so much ballyhoo aboutrepparttar 125661 great stuff various products can do. Major brands are tried and true with a normally safe harbour. Avoid going off into generic diets. Competing withrepparttar 125662 major brands on research and quality control is pretty tough. Better to takerepparttar 125663 high road for your doggie's sake. Vitamin and mineral supplements would be a great addition torepparttar 125664 diet helping to keeprepparttar 125665 immune system strong. Remember, dry food helps keeprepparttar 125666 teeth nice and strong too.

Bathing –

The primary concern here is to use a pet product. Not shampoo made for us people. We want to use a very mild shampoo. The pH balance of our doggies is quite different and if not careful we'll dry outrepparttar 125667 skin so bad that scratching, itching and all sorts of other fireworks will go off. Bath less not more. Chances are that a good wash job every 30 days or so will be just fine. Don't forget to drop a couple of plugs (cotton balls will do)intorepparttar 125668 ears before you start along with a nice brush job onrepparttar 125669 coat before and after. Keeprepparttar 125670 shampoo away from those gorgeous heart breaking eyes, if you slip simply wash with warm water or even a saline. Hey, a nice little designer outfit afterwards really makes your great little buddy a spiffy looking dude.

Those nasty tick and fleas issues –

Give me a break, how'd you like to run around itchy and biting, scratching and jumping around all day. That would be enough to drive anyone nuts. A topical oil usually placed betweenrepparttar 125671 shoulder blades will dorepparttar 125672 trick. Your best friends natural oils will spread it evenly over your pet. Be watchful about exposingrepparttar 125673 oil torepparttar 125674 kids and put it in a safe place. Try and have your pet really dry for a few days before and after application. This process will rid your doggie of fleas and ticks. Good riddance for sure. A super blow on those nasty critters ensuring good dog health.
