Canine Health CareCanine health care is not complicated. We give you dog health tips and simple steps to keep your dog a healthy dog. Dog health care advice and even easy step by step instructions for making your own health dog treats. I've also gathered tons of tips and information on diseases, parasites, and emergency care hints to help you with your dog health care.

They tolerate teasing, neglect and even are good natured when we use them for obnoxious things like warming our feet! In return we owe them attention to their health care. It's the least we can do for them! Dog DiseasesMany diseases and conditions in dogs can be prevented by routine canine health care, in conjunction with your veterinarian. Some conditions can be prevented by immunization while others require routine strategies for prevention.In the coming weeks, I'll be discussing canine health care for:
Canine Health Care for ParasitesUnfortunately parasites don't just go away by themselves. When we discover them, some intervention is needed, or they will just get worse.Dog ticks and fleas are usually seasonal—although, if you live in the southern US, you may have a problem year-round! Getting rid of a full-blown flea problem can be tricky and will require a lot of patience on your part.

Did you know that there are a few diseases that humans can catch from their dogs? They are called zoonotic diseases, and I will be talking about some of them in the next few weeks, as well. Prevention is Better than ReactionOf course, preventing a problem is always better than dealing with one! As I talk about each of the conditions, I'll give you information on what is known in current medicine about preventing each condition or disease.In some cases, alternative medicine is available to help you. Often there is a simpler solution or a more gentle herbal medicine to protect or cure your pet's problem. And, of course, as I learn about products that may be helpful to you, I will share that information with you, as well. Emergency Care for DogsThis is the part of canine health care that we all fear the most! No one wants to get the call that says that their beloved pet was hit by a car or bitten by a sick wild animal. But, chances are that, at least some of you, will have to deal with an emergency.
If you have any doubt about what to do when your dog is suffering from one of these conditions, please check back from time to time as I place new information on my website. I'll let you know in my Dog Blog when I add a new canine health topic! By the way, if you were looking for a particular condition and didn't see it listed, please let me know. If it's at all possible, I'll try to include it in the coming weeks!
