Humans have been friends with dogs for as long as man has been writing his history. Humans and dogs are a natural fit, and the relationship makes many extremely happy. However, your dog must be properly cared for. These tips will show you how to raise a happy and healthy dog.

It is expensive to own a dog. When you add up the medical care, food and supplies in general, your costs could run from $700-$1000 annually. Pet insurance can be a good investment because your pet may require emergency care for illness or injury.

Get your dog neutered. Research shows that doing this can make your animal live longer and reduce their cancer risks. Furthermore, altered dogs do not have the tendency to wander off, so they will stay safer.

Which breed you need to buy depends on your lifestyle. For example, if you’re a jogger, get a type of dog that can run with you, not a toy-poodle. If you prefer to stay home curled up on your couch, go for a small dog that likes to be spoiled and that will curl up along with you. Getting the right fit for you will give you both much more joy.

Ask your vet the amount of food your dog needs daily. It is important to follow guidelines for the sake of your dog’s health. Ask your vet for some recommendations if you are not sure which brands are best for your dog or need help with quantities.

Keep your dogâ”s nails trimmed. When they start curling under, the dog runs the risk of experiencing pain. You can always do your own trimming with clippers from the store. If you do not want to take this matter into your own hands, hire a professional.

Become acquainted with dog food labels and avoid buying based solely on cost. When you look at the big picture, it is good for your dog to consume nutritious, good quality food. Though better brands cost more, it is worth it to know your dog is receiving the nutrients it needs.

As the human, you’re job is to make sure that your dog’s needs are met. It is easier when you have good information. Use what you learned here and you can have a healthy and happy dog.
