How To Take Care Of Your Dog’s Health

You new puppy will need several short walks every day. It does not need long walks. Some breeds of dog have joints that are particularly susceptible to damage and they should not walk too far when they are young. The main purpose of the walks at this stage is to accustom the puppy to going to the toilet outside. Always go equipped with a pooper scoop so that you can clean up afterwards. Dog feces can transmit worms that are harmful to children.
