DOGS - the best PET - by Sheetal Bharadwaj

All about dogs

Dogs are lovable companions that enjoy company. However, owners do not realize the responsibility they have when they buy a dog.
Most people do not realize that about 65,000 dogs are put to sleep every year! Now that is a lot of dogs! This figure shows that pet owners have to be more responsible when adopting or buying a dog. Read the following text if you are going to buy a dog.

How to take care of dogs
Dogs can be quite a nuisance, especially when they are new to your house. Give them time to get used to the new environment. Be patient with it especially if it is an adopted dog. It might have had many bad encounters with humans and might take a long time for it to gain your trust.

Health and exercise
A dog’s health is very important as dogs can be quite sensitive. Bring your dog for regular visits to the veterinarian.
Exercise is another essential part of a dog’s life. If dogs do not get enough exercise, they will become lazy and would not like to play with you. This will also affect their health. To help provide them with sufficient exercise, you must buy toys and take them for regular walks.
