Top 5 Things Your Dog Needs From You

The needs of individual breeds vary widely; of course, large dogs will have vastly different daily needs than small dogs.  This blog post will focus on the universal needs of every dog rather than those specific to any one breed.

5. His own toys and space. Your dog needs to know what is his and where his safe place to retreat is located. Providing toys and telling him they are his early on in life will provide you many years with fewer chewed shoes. Having an easy to clean dog bed, such as a Dog Cheap Sleeps.com dog bed will not only provide your best friend with a comfortable resting place, it is easy to clean and can be traveled with.

4. The right diet, health and dental care. As always consult your vet for the proper diet and health care for your particular dog. It’s also important to take care of your dog’s dental needs.

3. Exercise. Check with a guide like the one at pets.webmd.com for recommendations of how much and what type of exercise your dog will need. This goes a long way to keeping your best friend happy!

2. Rewards and praise. Dogs are people pleasers, they seek the tone of your voice and when you’re heaping on the praise they are at their very best. Don’t skimp on daily praises for good behavior!

1. Lots of love and attention. Your dog needs your attention; he will get it one way or another. Show your dog you love him by paying attention to his needs. A little love goes a long way with a dog; the returns are a lifetime of happiness for your pet who will love you back unconditionally.
