Dogs rarely fall sick with the right mental, physical, social, and health care.
Routine vaccination, deworming, proper nutrition, elimination of parasites, etc are some health tips that keep your dog healthy.
How often should a dog fall sick?
Dogs are not supposed to get sick. Sickness is due to poor care for your dog, except for disease outbreaks, congenital conditions, cancers, and accidents.
However, most dog diseases are due to poor nutrition, lack of veterinary care, and parasites.
Best health tips to prevent diseases among your dogs
The commonly prescribed health tips by vets are:
1. On-time routine vaccination
Vaccinate your dog against the killer diseases in your area. Go for booster doses as recommended by your local veterinarian.
The recommended dog vaccination schedule.
2. On-time routine deworming
Most people in the dog industry start to deworm puppies at 3 months, which is not recommended. It puts a puppy’s life at high risk, compromises their growth rate, and often causes death.

3. Proper nutrition
Dogs are carnivores. Proteins (meat) should make up the largest portion of their diet. Consult with a local vet if your dog needs a special diet.
4. Eliminate ectoparasites
Several drug forms kill and prevent ectoparasites, e.g., sprays, tablets, shampoos, and injections.
First, consult your veterinarian on the best drug form to use for your beloved pet.
5. Proper hygiene
Clean and disinfect the dog premises and all its accessories daily.
6. Spay or neuter your dog.
Sterilization helps to prevent cancers such as TVT and mammary tumors.
7. Routine health checkups
Do not wait for your dog to fall sick; get regular vet checkups to prevent or control any illnesses.
8. Proper dental care
The normal color of a dog’s teeth is supposed to be white; any deviation from the white color indicates something wrong.

9. Allow your dog to socialize with other dogs.
Socialization allows your dog to interact with other dogs, which enables him to perform instincts he can’t perform with humans.
10. Provide a clean, comfortable house.
The dog house should be comfortable both in cold and hot seasons.
11. Regular grooming and bathing
Grooming and bathing help to maintain a healthy coat for your dog.
Conclusion
The lifespan of your dog depends on the health care he gets. Simple routines make a big impact on the health of your dog.
