Caring for your Dogs Health

Keep in mind that owning a dog is a big responsibility but it’s all worth it.  It’s important to choose the right veterinarian for your dog care.  Regular check-ups and a good exercise routine is key to raising a happy healthy dog.

They always need fresh water and a nutritious dog formula.  You can learn how to read the labels and find out what to look for and what to stay away from.  Your Vet will also have good advice on what kind of food is right for your little friend.

Your dog should wear a ID tag at all times just incase they slip away from you.  I have found dogs in the past and luckily they were wearing a tag and I was able to return them to their owner within minutes.

Lhasa Apso

Filed under: Dog Breeds,Dogs — shae @ 12:55 pm

The Lhasa Apso breed is in the non-sporting breed group.  They are more of an indoor dog.  They love to play games and become quite playful when doing so.  The Lhasa Apso is known to be one of the most affectionate breeds and this is why they make such great companions.  

Lhasa Apso

They are very devoted and loyal to their loved ones but are very stubborn and want everything their way.  They have a heightened sense of hearing so they do make a great watch dog.  They do prefer being the only pet and demand lots of attention, as much as they can get.   The Lhasa Apso dogs  don’t like being left alone for long periods of time and will let you know it.  They do bite if frightened or angered so they aren’t the best dogs for children. 

Lhasa Apso

The Lhasa Apso needs to be brushed daily to avoid any matting or tangling of the hair.  They need to be bathed on a regular basis and routine check-ups are neccesary as they tend to have eye and ear problems if not properly cared for.   The Lhasa Apso breed is great for people that live in apartments or condos since they love indoor activity.

Vizsla Dogs

The Vizsla is a medium sized hunting dog.  They have a short wirey coat and have a slender build with long straight legs.  They have a golden colored coat but the colors may vary. 

Vizsla

The Vizsla is a very smart dog and easily trained.  They are good with children and love to play.  They prefer to be active as much as possible.  Like many other dogs, the Vizsla dog breed needs a lot of excercise or they will become destructive in the home.  When left alone, they need to be entertained as well so they will not turn your belongings into their chew toys.  If they do not get the right amount of excercise; they may become very high strung and a bit neurotic. 

Vizsla

If you aren’t planning on excercising and being active everyday, the Vizsla would not be the right choice for you.  They need a good sized yard to play in and they don’t make good apartment dogs.  They prefer the outdoors. 

This breed has a life expectancy of up to 15 years and they are prone to hip dysplasia.  They can weigh anywhere from 40 to 60lbs.  They make great companions and are very loving and loyal.  They are not a high maintenance breed.
