There are a lot of pets out there. People make pets out of birds, rodents, fish, and reptiles. Dogs are among the most versatile pets to have around the house. If you're in the market for some advice to help you cultivate your dog-ownership skills, you've come to the right place.

If you're taking your pup on a vacation, make sure that you take a picture of him for on your phone. By doing this, in case your dog gets lost, you can provide others with a picture and easily put up flyers, which will assist in finding your dog.

Make sure that your dog gets neutered. Research has shown that by doing this you can be sure your pet can have a longer life and not be at risk for things like cancer. Furthermore, altered dogs do not have the tendency to wander off, so they will stay safer.

When vacationing with your dog, use the camera on your phone to snap a quick picture. If he gets lost, you have a recent picture you can immediately access in order to print "lost" flyers.

Don't ever give your dog bones. Rawhide limits the danger when your dog is chewing. Also, rawhide is better for the health of your dog's teeth.

If you get your dog from the pound, make sure you have a vet check him out right away. Dogs that live in shelters may be sick or may have been around other sick dogs. The best thing to do is to ensure that you new dog has all the necessary vaccinations before it comes home with you.

Make sure your dog is getting enough exercise. Your dog has to be worked out to stay happy and healthy. You will enjoy the time you spend doing these things with your dog as well. You will thus offer necessary exercise, but will also build strong bonds with the animal.

Trim hair around a dog's paws so that hair mats don't form. Use a comb and a small pair of scissors for this task. If you're uncomfortable doing this, you should get a professional groomer to do it.
