Caring for your Canine Companion
Your new puppy will need food, water, shelter, a safe environment, veterinary care, lots of exercise, plenty of safe chew toys, basic obedience training, and a lot of loving companionship. I hope the following discussions will help you provide the best of care for you dog.
- Owners have an important role in the prevention and treatment of various injuries and illnesses, and protection from a host of hazards.
- Consult with your breeder, veterinarian and obedience instructor if you have questions or problems regarding the care of your dog.
- There are several good books that discuss canine care. A reference book at home can be very helpful. Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook, by Delbert Carlson, DVM and James Giffin, MD is an excellent resource.
