Our dogs are now, more than ever, a very important part of our families. We care for them as we care for ourselves. That includes taking a greater interest in our dogs' health care. In response, there have been many advances in dog health care in recent years:





Preventative Dog Health Care



Annual checkups with routine blood test and dental care go far in catching serious dog health care problems early, increasing the dog’s duration and quality of life.
Medicines targeting fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal parasites prevent both the pests and the diseases they cause.




Diagnosis of Canine Health Problems



Dog health care benefits by interested owners conscientiously bringing their dogs for yearly checkups:



New and better blood, lab, and x-ray procedures aid the veterinarian in gaining valuable knowledge of what is happening to your dog.
New and improved equipment like MRI machines speed up diagnosis as well.




Not only do these factors enable more effective care, but they also save you money in the long run because your pet won’t need repeated vet visits to find his problem.





Dog Health Treatment Advances



Veterinarians now do amazing things for our dogs. Here are a few of the most impressive advances in veterinary treatment for dogs:



Chemotherapy to treat cancer in dogs
Pacemakers for dog heart problems
Drugs that cure or control dog diseases like diabetes or epilepsy




Improved convenience



Veterinarians today generally have at least 8 years of education added to their deep love of animals.

They combine the skills of a surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologist, dietitian and much more.





Veterinary hospitals or clinics are well-staffed and well-equipped medical centers where all breeds of dogs, as well as other animals, are treated, often in one day, for an enormous variety of conditions.





Clearly, dog health care is better today that ever before. Your dog’s veterinarian is his health advocate and your ally. Next time you visit your veterinarian, ask about new advances that might be help your dog live better.

It wasn’t so many years ago when dog treats consisted more or less solely of milk bones, fatty biscuits, and table scraps. Not many options, and virtually none that were healthy. Well, times have definitely changed! Nowadays, savvy pet owners choose dog treats that include greenies, healthy biscuits, and gourmet bones.

Not only are there more options for now, the quality has improved significantly in recent years as well. And with the Internet boom, finding the best biscuits and bones for your puppy is as easy and tapping a few keystrokes.
 
It’s important to note that many pet owners are now advocates of healthier dog treats for monetary reasons as well. They realize that, while they tend to cost more, healthy treats and food actually save money in the long run. A healthier diet over a lifetime results in less disease and illness in senior dogs, which means a smaller vet bill.

It’s never too early to start feeding healthy dog treats. Puppy training often includes using a treat to reward good behavior. In one session alone, you might give your little trainee 6-10 rewards, maybe even more. Make them healthy biscuits, cookies, or bones, and you’ll be giving your pet a nutritious foundation for a better life.

Experiment with several different kinds of dog treats and you’ll quickly learn which are your puppy’s favorites. Unlike humans when we diet, dogs seem to enjoy the healthier biscuits and bones every bit as much as the “bad” ones. If only we were so lucky!
