FAQ About Dog Health

1.How often should I take my dog to the vet for check-ups?

Adult dogs should visit the vet at least annually for wellness exams, while puppies need several visits for vaccinations and seniors (7+ years) should go at least twice yearly. Regular check-ups help catch health issues early and keep vaccinations current.

2.Why is my dog scooting their bottom across the floor, and should I be concerned?

Scooting often indicates anal gland issues, which can be uncomfortable for your dog. While occasional scooting might just need a vet visit for gland expression, persistent scooting could signal allergies, parasites, or infection requiring treatment.

3.How do I know if my dog is getting enough exercise?

Adult dogs typically need at least 30-60 minutes of exercise daily, varying by breed, age, and health. Your dog is likely getting enough exercise if they’re maintaining a healthy weight, sleeping well at night, and not showing destructive behavior.
