Dogs, are the animal who lives with man since 5000 years. even in the “Hindu literature Mahabharata” dogs are mentioned. we found dog as a most familiar animal who live with humans. Most human found them as life companion, while dogs are the one animal who is the most loyal to his owner. Who guard him(owner) from strangers. Here in this article we’ll talk about the taking care of dogs during it’s life time.
Dogs Under 6-month age:
If you bring new puppy at you home, then here are the few tips which may be helpful to you.
- Give diluted milk, it’s easy for puppy to drink diluted milk
- Give milk in bottle if they are to small
- Give “puppy pedigree” in food
- Never give full meal, because they don’t know how much they have to eat.

- If the puppy is too small(under a month) then don’t take them to bath
- Use proper “puppy shampoo”, puppy shampoo are diluted which does not harm “puppies skin and eyes”
- Give them bath 2-3 time in week.

If there is any problem with you pet, then go to “veterinary hospital, clinic”. Take suggestion of veterinary doctor.
In this age train them to go toilet, poo
Always remember that, dogs go for toilet once they wake-up, even it’s a small nap.
If the dog started smelling at floor and start walking forward then it’s time for poo. Bring them to appropriate place.
Dogs within “6-9 month” age:
This is the age gap when dogs learn faster and within this time-period they learn the basic things.
They started barking (“they develop within 2-3 weeks some take up-to 16 weeks”). If your dog isn’t “barking” then bring them to hospital for check-up.
Its normally takes 6-7 month to make trained dog.
Its time for start “vaccination”
You can keep a diary in which you can save record of vaccination, date due date etc.
During this time, you can give them “buttermilk with boil rice and yogurt” in meal.
This is the growing time period but you still have to give them “puppy pedigree” with meal.
Always feed your dog in multiple interval.(3-4 time a day)

9 month group Is kind of “small size dog’s breed” becomes fully developed mature/adult.
At the age of 16 month the “biggest size dog’s breed” becomes fully developed mature/adult.
Though all kind of breed becomes mature within this age group.

The common question.
How does vaccination work?
Vaccines contain killed or modified live forms of viruses or bacteria. They stimulate production of protective antibodies in healthy animals that neutralize the virus or bacteria of the animal is later exposed. Some vaccines contain combinations of several viruses or bacteria that immunize against several diseases, minimizing inconvenience to the owner and discomfort the pet.
Why is vaccination important?
It is bigger risk of viral infection to your dog, some of which are life-threatening. Others such as rabbis also pose a public health risk. Vaccination to prevent common infection of infectious diseases supports the first goal of medicine.
It better to take vaccination because it prevents the viral infection before it occur. In general, viral preventive vaccination is one of the most reliable and cost effective method of health care available to be pet owner.
How often we have to vaccinate our dog?
Immunity to most infectious diseases bit by bit declines over time, thus periodic revaccination is mostly necessary.
Frequency of vaccination is dependent on your dog lifestyle, age and risk of disease exposure. Your veterinarian can determine the appropriate vaccination interval based on your pet’s history and determine the appropriate vaccination interval based on your pet’s history and individual circumstances.
Why does puppy require more vaccination than older dog?
Nursing puppies ingest antibodies from their mothers.
These maternal antibodies offer early protection against communicable disease.
However, they also neutralize the immunizing agent in vaccines .
maternal antibodies naturally decline throughout the primary 3 to four months of life and eventually disappear. For this reason, puppies ought to receive a series of vaccinations starting concerning six weeks more matured.
This increase the likelihood of long-term protection from vaccination as soon as maternal antibody levels have declined below protective level.
How much time we have to feed the dog?
Most consultants suggest feeding your dog double on a daily basis
once within the morning and once within the evening although puppies beneath 5 months aged ought to be fed 3 or 4
if dog got hungry they digging or scratching on the ground or make noise to take your attention.
