Like many first-time parents, new dog owners may over think every little quirk their dog displays. The good news is , there are signs that tell you when your dog is thriving. In addition to regular checkups with the family veterinarian, including routine wellness procedures such as an annual blood pane, fecal testing and urine analysis, these indicators should be noticeable to pet owners. Here are some signs that your dog is healthy.
There are many activities you can do with your dog while exercising at the same time. Some activities provide more exercise for your dog than for you but are still a fun way to bond. Play fetch with a ball or a disk, visit the dog park. Do you want your dog to get involved in dog sports? Agility, fly ball and herding competitions are great places to start.
