Knowledge of genetics and predisposition to diseases

If you are buying a dog, you can ask the breeder about the most common diseases in a particular breed. This knowledge will help you to carry out a set of effective preventive measures.

In all other cases, experts recommend regular check-ups with a veterinarian at least once a year.

Quality food

You can't feed a dog cheap food or table scraps and expect it to live a long, healthy and happy life. Dogs are, of course, unpretentious and are ready to eat even inedible items, but the owner must control the pet's diet.

Physical activity
