Dogs are pet animals and as friendly domestic animals their care is of vital importance to us their loving owners. Of all ways we care for our pet animals, there are three things that we must do on daily basis and on weekly basis as the occasion demands that are vital to the overall wellbeing of our canine Fur-friends.

FEEDING
Feeding a dog properly goes beyond just shoving a plate of juicy bones under it's nose. Like humans, dogs need proper feeding and proper feeding means a daily balanced diet rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and of course water for good hydration.

Certain factors mitigate against giving our dogs their proper nutrition and mostly it's because of our personal individual attitude and our state of finance. Some of us have very busy daily schedules so we can hardly find time to do what is acceptable with regards to feeding our dogs.

Some of us just go to a vet shop and buy cartons of canned processed dog foods and shove them down the stomachs of our Fur-friends. Others because of poor financial conditions cannot feed adequately and in the long run we end up making a feral animal of our dog. Any poorly fed pet animal is guaranteed to end up feral.

To make the best of the above painted bad situations two things can be done. For the dog owner whom has money but cannot find time to feed your pet a balanced diet from a variety of fresh and natural food sources and supplement when necessary with your over the counter processed dog food, sacrifice a little more time then get someone, a friend or relative to be there for your dog when you cannot under any circumstances be available.

As for the poor dog feeding resulting from financial constraints, try and supplement with restaurant leftovers. They are mostly free and only a very little price are paid when necessary. Restaurant leftovers make very good and rich sources of dogs food rich in proteins and calcium from cooked meat bones.

Feed your dogs at least twice daily, in the morning and in the evening. Feed modestly with a balanced diet rich in the daily required food nutrients.

EXERCISE
Dogs like humans need exercise for optimum fitness and overall good health. These days because of adopting a diet very close to the human diet, dogs tend to suffer from certain diet related illnesses also found among humans. There have been incidences of dog diabetes and obesity. The latter is relevant to this chapter of our discussion.

With bad feeding practices its very easy to end up with an overweight and sickly dog. Avoid overfeeding your pets and also find time to exercise them at least twice weekly. Dog exercises are mostly by way of long distance strolls and playing pet games in an open field or an enclosure. Dogs world over love to play fetch if trained to.

Good exercise will give your dog good and healthy muscle tone and strong bones.

BATHING AND GROOMING
This has to do with ensuring your dog stays free of ectoparasites. Dogs need to be bathed although less frequently than humans but no less than twice monthly for optimum ectoparasite free or controlled status.

Most ectoparasites of our Fur-friends are very difficult to eradicate completely but what is important is bringing their population under safe control. To achieve this, bathe once a week with warm water and use an antiparasite soap. Make sure to thoroughly rinse off soap residue and pat dry furcoat of your dog with a thick towel. Antiparasitic powders could be added to the routine and dusted in tight spaces like in-between paw digits, just make sure not to get any such powder into your dogs mouth, eyes or nostrils.
