Dog health and welfare

Helping your dog stay healthy

Here are a few things to keep in mind on a day-to-day basis:

Daily health checks: dogs are vulnerable to a range of infectious diseases and other illnesses. Check your dog for signs of injury or illness every day.
Check your dog's teeth regularly: look out for plaque or infection and visit your vet if you're worried. You can buy special dog toothbrushes and paste to help keep their teeth and gums healthy.
Behaviour monitoring: dogs show pain and suffering in different ways. Changes in the way they behave could be an early sign of illness or pain. If you suspect that your dog is suffering, consult a vet immediately.
Grooming: ensure your dog's coat is kept in good condition with regular grooming.
Special care for older dogs:as they get older, your dog may need more rest, a specialist diet and a cosy bed kept away from visitors and draughts to keep them comfortable and healthy.

Here are the best ways to keep your dog's teeth and mouth as clean as possible and eliminate bad breath.
