A nose-to-tail check to keep your pup in tip top shape!
By getting to know what’s normal for your dog, it can be easier to notice when something’s off. Making sure you know when there are changes and abnormalities with your dog means if needed, they can get the care and attention needed sooner rather than later.
Did you know we should regularly check our dogs' teeth and preferably brush them too!
James advises to approach it as training to get your pup comfortable with having their teeth, gums and breath checked regularly. Regular checks help you to identify potential issues early, ensuring your pet's dental health is maintained and allowing quick action if a problem arises.
James takes us through the best way to check our pups over for any lumps or bumps.
Knowing what to do if you come across any abnormalities can bring clarity to your mind and ensure you take the best course of action for your furry friend.
Just like human babies, puppies need lots of sleep. Don’t be surprised if your pup is asleep for 18-19 hours a day. Even though they might seem like little balls of energy, your puppy needs this rest to support healthy growth so don’t be tempted to push them into too much playtime or long walks before they’re ready.
