    Hey All,

    As I am continuously learning about dogs and their health, I always enjoy learning new things through friend's experiences.

    In terms of keeping our dogs healthy, a good diet and plenty of exercise are key factors.

    I know this might be a vague question, however, does anybody have or know of some tips and tricks for keeping our dogs healthy?

    Thanks

    I'd say clean their teeth. :)

    And make sure exercise is appropriate - warm up, and cool down. And don't do mad repetitive stuff like frisbees over and over again, or ball chuckers.

    Apart from that, yes, good food and exercise - keep them slim - and that really is all there is to it. :)

    Agree, also:
    - vaccinate your dog
    - when in any doubt, go to the vet to catch problems early

    Make sure their claws stay short enough that they don't change the way the dog stands or walks.

    Oh, good one.

    And train them - so you can get them back in an emergency, and I'd also say don't use stupid stuff on them like prong collars, or head collars, and if they pull put them on a back (not front) fastening harness.
