| HELP TAKE CARE OF YOUR DOG AND HE WILL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR YEARS. |
| Help keep his water bowl full of clean fresh water. |
| Baby puppies need to be fed 3-4 times a day. Adult dogs are fed 2 times a day. |
| Your dog will sometimes need a bath, have his ears cleaned, his nails cut, and his teeth brushed. |
| Dogs need to be outside everyday. Do not let your dog run loose. He must be kept in a fenced area or on a leash. Don't tie your dog up. He could get hurt. |
| Your dog will love riding in the car with you. Make sure he rides in a dog crate or wears a car harness that is attached to your car's seat belt. A dog should never ride in the back of a truck. |
| A dog needs to visit his vet at least once a year. |
| Your dog needs to have a collar on whenever he is outside or going on a trip. He will need his rabies tag and some type of identification in case he gets lost. A microchip is a nice thing to buy for your dog. Be sure to check his collar at least once a week. Don't let it get too small and hurt his neck or too old where it will break and get lost. |
| The best place for your dog to sleep at night is in the house. He needs to spend a lot of time with his family. A lonely dog becomes a bad dog. |
| Your dog needs exercise everyday. Letting him outside to run by himself is not proper exercise. Go outside with him for a walk. Play a game of ball with him. |
| All dogs need to be trained to be a good family member. Training is for a lifetime. Even pet dogs should know how to walk nice on a leash, sit, down, stand, stay, and come. Your dog should know how to act around other animals and behave around your family and friends. |
