Do you wish the grocery store had more choices when it comes to what you feed your dog? Many people feel that mass produced dog food isn’t sufficient enough to provide their dog with the right nutrient. Take this information and use it to help you be responsible. The following tips will help you become a better pet owner.

Your home needs to be ‘dog-proofed’. Take the time to tour your home with an eye for safety before you introduce your dog to your home. Hide cleaning supplies and medicines and hide trashcans in a cabinet. Some indoor plants are poisonous, so put them high up.

When vacationing with your dog, use the camera on your phone to snap a quick picture. This will help in the rare situation that you get separated from your dog. You will have a current picture of your dog to show to people.

Always make sure to keep any prescription medications away from your dog. The same holds true for over-the-counter meds. Swallowing just a few pills could lead to catastrophic health issues for your dog, including a seizure or heart attack. If your dog eats your medication, see a vet right away.

When it comes to dog flea treatments, you should proceed with caution. They contain carcinogens proven to cause cancer in kids. Talk to your veterinarian about the safest options, and don’t let your kids near the dog while you’re doing a treatment.

It is a good idea to use hand signals when you are trying to train your dog, instead of just relying on verbal commands. Using hand gestures can help your dog to recognize commands quicker. Always associate the spoken command and the hand gesture at first and choose the system that works best later on.

Now that you have read this article, it should be easy for you to know how to take care of your furry friend. There is so much more to dog food possibilities than you see in your supermarket. Keep the ideas from this piece in mind to ensure a lifetime of quality care for your dog.
