Dog Health:

    Keeping your small dog healthy is a big job that requires a lot of dedication on the owner's part. Talk with your veterinarian to come up with a plan that to ensure that your small dog will have a happy, healthy, long life. Just this little bit of planning can go a long way to keep your dog healthy.

Here are some ideas to get started with:

1. Make sure you dog gets enough exercise, but not too much. Small dogs need to run and play just like big dogs, but they probably will not need as much as dogs much larger. Follow your dog's lead and stop before your little dog has exhausted itself.

2. Determine the right food or diet plan for your dog. Discuss with your vet which brands and types of foods are best, specifically for your dog. You might want to look into types that are made just for small dogs, since they come in smaller, more chewable bits usually. Also, consider if you want your dogs food to be dry or wet.

3. Have regular check-ups with your veterinarian. Some conditions are treatable if they are caught early enough, so it is important that your dog has enough visits with the vet.

4. Know what is normal for your dog, in terms of urination and feces. Sometimes, irregular feces or urination are the first tips that something is wrong with your small dog. Be observant and if in doubt, call your vet.

5. Keep your dogs nails trimmed and make sure your small dog is groomed and bathed regularly. This will help keep your dog clean and happy.
