1. Stay Up To Date On Vaccinations
This can easily become one of the most important parts of a responsible dog parent. Vaccines can protect your dog from a variety of environmental diseases, which are usually fatal to dogs. Make sure to check with your veterinarian to ensure that your dog has all the vaccinations needed, as vaccines may vary from state to state, and even from county to county. You can also discuss potency testing on dogs with your veterinarian to understand when a vaccine is really needed.
2. Dog Proof Your House
As with children, it is important to ensure that your dog does not enter anything that could harm them. This includes locking all chemicals and cleaning agents out of reach, keeping trash cans closed, and ensuring that all small items cannot be eaten or swallowed.
