Do you know how to spot potential health problems in your dog, treat common problems yourself and recognize when a health issue requires Veterinary care?
Our dogs rely heavily on us to look after their health issues. Caring for our dogs is a responsibility we all take on board when we bring a dog into our lives. But dog health care is not necessarily a subject we all have expertise in - I know I didn't when I got my first young puppy.
Over the years I've put together a health care program or strategy I follow to help manage my dog's health issues. The dog health care program I have outlined below is an ongoing process of maintenance which relies on careful observation, being proactive and is designed to prevent major health issues from arising. It also addresses how to effectively diagnose and treat health problems when they do arise - either yourself, or a Vet when necessary.

These Are The Steps Involved In The Dog Health Care Program I Follow To Safeguard My Dogs:

1. Daily observation and maintenance of my dogs.


2. Picking up on the early signs/symptoms of illness or injury.


3. Accurately diagnosing and treating common health problems when appropriate.


4. Quickly recognizing health issues that require Veterinary care.
