What is Parvo?
Canine parvovirus, commonly referred to as “parvo”, is one of the most serious viruses that dogs can get. Parvo is an infectious DNA virus that commonly causes severe illness in young and unvaccinated dogs.
It primarily affects the body’s rapidly dividing cells, meaning the intestinal tract and bone marrow are the most affected.
Shots
Which vaccinations should my dog get?
Vaccines are a vital part of your dog’s veterinary care routine, but figuring out which ones they need—and when they need them—can get confusing.
Harness vs. Collar
Title
It might be time to buy a collar or harness for your puppy or dog for the very first time or replace one that’s wearing out. Either way, it’s important to understand that there are a variety of collars and harnesses that work for different dogs in different circumstances.
Medicine
Importance of VeterinarianThere have been some debates about vaccines. Here at 4 Puppy Mom, we believe in the interaction with a veterinarian. They provide vast knowledge about how to care for our fur-babies. A 'Vet' has great knowledge of our canine companions and the things that may ail them.
4 Puppy Mom suggest that at best that you consult with a veterinarian with many of you pup's needs.
Nutrition
What's good for my Pup to eat?When feeding a dog, we are looking for quality ingredients that are considered appropriate for our fur-baby's digestive system. The ingredients we speak of should be meat, vegetables, fruits and grains.
Dogs are not strictly carnivores. Their diet may consist of a good majority of meat, however our fur-babies can pull various nutrients from a diet consisting of vegetables, fruits and grains as well as the meat.
Exercise
How much exercise does a dog need?Of course you are going to want to give your fur-baby all the exercise they need. The actual amount of exercise will vary from your dog's age, health and their particular breed; Not to mention, you will need to factor in your lifestyle as well.
If you are a relaxed person then getting an active dog breed may not be the right choice for either of you. And if you are an active person, then the small toy breeds may not be a good fit either.
