Dog owners have a hard time coping with the passing of their four-legged friend. They worry no less when the dog is sick.

But if you follow four simple rules, you can extend the life of your pet and avoid frequent visits to the veterinarian.

Experts have explained what rules every dog owner should know and follow.

First of all, nutrition

Cheap food or table scraps are not suitable for this.

It is essential to feed the dog at the same time, monitor its weight, and select food based on the characteristics of the breed or the results of a veterinary examination.

Secondly, hygiene

In addition to combing the fur, washing the paws, cleaning the ears and eyes, you need to take care of the health of the animal's teeth.

Today you can find dog brushes and toothpaste to suit every taste.

Remember that this way you can avoid problems with your gums and even your heart.

Thirdly, attention

Walking a dog should not just be routine, but should allow you to maintain your pet's activity, including contact with other dogs, opportunities for games and other entertainment.

All this is the key to a good mood.

Fourth, training

The dog must develop, and not just know basic commands - "no", "sit" and "lie down".

Time spent with the owner will be beneficial and help strengthen the friendship.
