The love and companionship you get from your dog is unmatched and the best gift you can give him is good health. Here’s a checklist to keep your dog fit and fine :

REGULARLY examine your pet for any problem and check it before it becomes life threatening.
IF YOUR pet gives a doggy odour, it is a sign of low level of health. Act fast!
KEEP YOUR pet’s teeth clean and watch out for bad breath and tooth or gum problems.
REMOVE WAX from his ears as it can trap ticks, mites or other parasites inside his ears. If there is any bad odour, consult your vet.
IF THERE is any change in the colour of his eyes or any irritation, it may be the beginning of a serious health problem. Consult your vet immediately.
KEEP HIS coat clean and free from fleas and parasites. If you find any change in the colour of his skin, consult your vet immediately.
GIVE HIM a balanced diet, which will help him acquire immunity and accelerate his growth.
TAKE YOUR pet to your vet for regular check-up, as you know prevention is always better than cure.
KEEP THE weight of your pet under control as obesity leads to many diseases.
FOR A healthy body and a hilarious mind, exercise is very important for your pet. So, give him/her adequate amount of exercise.
