10. General health of your dog or puppy, fleas, worms, other infections, vaccinations and check ups:
These are extracts from my 17000+ word, dog and puppy training/care guide, 'How to train a dog or puppy - The FUN WAY!!!'. These extracts are a 'preview' and have been reduced. The full version of my popular dog training guide is for sale here.
It’s always good to examine your dog for general health issues regularly. It’s also good to keep your dog used to being handled and examined; a nice treat afterwards usually stops your dog resenting the intrusion!
Areas to examine are:
1) Toes and feet: For thorns and other foot problems. (Between the toes too).2) In the mouth: Check for good teeth growth and keep an eye on dental caries build-up (just like in people). A good diet without ‘human’ style tit-bits will prevent dental problems. Sweets and chocolate are a definite no-no. If your dog has caries, you should use a dog toothbrush with dog toothpaste (the human kind is very bad for dogs) once a week, more if necessary. Dog toothpastes come in lots of different flavours like chicken and beef! Dental chews can be a good way of cleaning the teeth if your dog isn’t too keen on the toothbrush.
3) The dogs’ coat: Check for good condition, and fleas and ticks. Do regularly wash your dogs coat in the bath or outside with the hose, with a good flea shampoo. Do not do it too often, I find once every 3 weeks is good. Make sure you carefully wash the head too (try to avoid the eyes), as this is a prime place for fleas to live, as is the base of the tail and lower back. Also don’t forget to keep
applying your brand of anti-flea/tick medication between the shoulder blades (so they can’t lick it), as often as suggested by your brand. These precautions should keep your dog flea and tick free. It’s also good to brush and comb your dog regularly. Your dog will enjoy it and it will keep their coat in good order.4) The ears: Check for obstructions, good hearing and excessive wax build up.
5) The eyes: Check for brightness, and clarity. If you see persistent redness of the eye get a check up at the vet.
Vaccinations:
Vaccinations are very important for your dogs good health. I believe that
although problems with vaccinations do happen (and thankfully are very
rare), this is totally out-weighed by their benefits.
Early vaccinations against life threatening infections save many dogs lives every year. Puppies are particularly susceptible to disease and should be vaccinated under your vets supervision as early as possible. This will help ensure good health and help boost their normal natural immunity.
Vaccinations can be generally classified into ‘essential’ and ‘non-essential’. You should use non-essential vaccinations if you and your dogs’ lifestyle increases the risk of catching one of these diseases. Your vet will know which vaccinations are best for your dog, Contact your vet early to ensure good protection for your dog or puppy. Most vaccinations do NOT give life-long immunity so keep up to date with the various boosters your vet suggests, which us usually about once a year.
Essential
vaccines:
Parvovirus
Infectious Canine Hepatitis
Distemper
Leptospirsosis
Non essential
vaccines:
Kennel Cough: Found in boarding kennels, shows, training classes and any
circumstances in which dogs are in regular contact with other dogs.
Canine Herpes virus: Breeding bitches
Rabies: If your dog lives in or visits a rabies area.
Worms:
Canine worms live in the gut of the infected dog, and can really make
your dog feel ill. They will also stop your dog gaining weight normally
and a dog with worms is often always tired and lack-lustre.
Puppies must be wormed regularly in the first few weeks after they are born, at about 3 weeks of age and then repeated every 2 – 3 weeks until the puppy is about 16 weeks of age. The treatment must then be administered every 3 months for the rest of the dog’s life. It’s always best to buy these tablets from your vet, as the doses vary according to your dog’s weight, your vet will guide you. A good tip for giving these tablets to your dog is to hide it between two bits of cheese, and press it all together in to a cheese ball! Dogs don’t chew food very much so they will usually scoff it all down before they get a chance to protest!
Pet insurance: If you can afford pet insurance, it is always a good idea. Insurance often only costs about as much as a newspaper a week. Many pet insurance companies give a cheaper monthly cost if you insure your dog from the moment you get them. If you wait until they have an expensive illness you may have to pay a lot for the same insurance. If you get insurance for your dog make sure to ask about any free extras you are covered for, like money towards advertising if your dog goes missing or dental care. Information about pet insurance can be found at most vets surgeries.
