There have been many articles written and news events these days about your dog's future and their health, and how each and every one of us dog owners, can make a substantial difference in our dogs longevity, just by making a few simple intelligent decisions regarding our pets. I myself have written many articles from Complimentary medicine, Training, to Holistic diets.
And clearly, I realize that not everybody has the time to read articles that are thoroughly researched and explained information, which singles out a topic and delivers quality content in long form. But it's hard to do when the author wants to assure themselves that the content of the article is complete and informational to the reader. So I am going to try something new for me, and that is to write a few articles that are short and sweet and designed to make the reader respond instead of going to bed with it.

Part Two
1. Make your pet carrier, a common part of your dog's life, in their beginning stages of growth so they don't grow up fearful of the carrier. It will definitely make the trip to the vets easier for everyone involved. Place it in their play area with the door open so they can go in or out, as they please.
2. Make sure you have all important paperwork always in a handy place, in case of emergency. If you have easy access to your personal veterinarian, that is unnecessary.
3. You should always take your pet to the Vet if you suspect your pet is in danger in any way. If it's a small cut or an upset stomach use your best discretion, because sometimes an upset stomach could actually be something very serious like if your dog has consumed cocoa shell mulch from a neighbors home. That would be fatal and the dog would act as if it had an upset stomach. If it's a small cut, you can save quite a bit of money if you take care of that yourself, as you would for your own child.
4. You need to bring your pet to the vet for regular checkups. Routine veterinary care and wellness screenings are the best way to detect all kinds of problems early on. Especially Cancer, that kills 1 in 3 dogs annually......Very,Very Important
5. When going in for check-ups your vet will know if they need any shots.
6. If you dog develops, any skin rashes or any other unusual growth, such as the look of bloat or inflation of the stomach or abdomen...Take your pet to the vet.
7. Save money and costs for visits to the vet by investing in Pet Insurance for your pet. You can find a specially priced plan for your dog on our website and read interesting articles by people who saved thousands of dollars to save their pet from either an accident or disease.
8. The ability to recognize the warning signs of any illness comes from educating yourself on what to look for when you suspect something is wrong, and the best way to accomplish this is to visit our website and familiarize yourself with different types of illnesses and their symptoms. So you'll know what to look for. It could save your dogs life.
9. Definitely do not procrastinate. If you ever think your gut is telling you something is wrong...It usually is. Take your pet to the vet.
10. An ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure.
This is not the Holy Mantra. What you have here, is just some simple common sense advice from someone who has been down this road a few times.
