What Dogs Need

People and animals need the same things to be happy and healthy.

Just like you, your dog needs food, water, shelter, grooming, health

care, and love.

Puppy eating.Below shows things, which help dogs to stay happy and

healthy!

Water For Your Dog

------------------

Your dog needs at least 2 dishes filled with fresh water everyday. One

should be in the house and the other should be outside.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The water should always be kept clean, cool and fresh. If the water

gets dirty or warm during the day, your dog would be very happy to get

a cool refill.

A dog in his doghouse.Did you know that your dog's water would freeze

in the winter when it is very cold? It will also get too warm in hot,

summer weather. If the water is too warm, it cannot cool your dog's

body. Here are some special tips to help keep your dog safe and happy

in hot and cold weather.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Shelter For Your Dog

--------------------

People and animals need shelter from the harsh elements of weather.

Wild animals go to their den or cave to escape the hot sun and cold

rain. A shelter provides safety from other animals that might cause

them harm. A shelter is a safe area to call home. A dog without a

fenced yard or enclosed patio is a dog that is not safe. Dogs that are

allowed to run loose will eventually become lost, stolen or hit by a

car. This is not a safe situation for your dog and it is against the

law.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

In many families, dogs do live outside. That's okay as long as they

have shelter outside from the bad weather. A special doghouse is good;

access to a garage is fine, as long as there are no dangers for the

dog to find. A bed inside of the doghouse or garage would be as

welcome as flowers in springtime.
