October is Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month—and here at the ASPCA, that means that we’re not gonna stop talking about how great dogs are from now until October 31!
To get the pooch party started, we prepared a list of 10 things you can do for your dog this month…and every month!
1. Is your pooch an action hero or a couch potato? If you can’t feel Rover’s ribs, he may need to shed a few pounds. Ask your vet about a healthy and safe doggie diet-and-exercise program.
2. Tag, you’re it! Be sure your dog wears a collar with ID tag that includes your family’s name and phone number.
3. Did you know that your dog has her own personal hair stylist? She sure does—and that would be YOU, of course! It’s a good idea to brush her once or twice a week. (If she has long or curly hair, you’ll need to comb her every day.)
4. Your dog has her own personal trainer, too! Yup, that’s right, you again! Spend at least 20 minutes a day playing her favorite game, whether it’s fetch, Frisbee or find-the-biscuit.
5. Fur sure! Check your dog’s coat and skin for lumps, bumps, flakes and scabs. If you find what looks like teeny specks of black pepper, tell an adult. Poochie may have fleas!
6. Snip tip! Did you know that your dog’s nails should be clipped regularly? Your vet can show you how.
7. Is Boo Boo on his best behavior? A well-mannered pooch can walk on a leash without pulling and understands the commands “Come,” “Sit!” and “Stay!”
8. Mean greens! Keep Kookie away from poisonous plants and trees, including lilies, azaleas, rhododendron, English ivy and yew.
9. Puppies just wanna have fun…and when they start teething, they just wanna chew. Get your pup set up with a nylon bone.
10. Be a hot shot and make sure your dog visits the veterinarian for a checkup once a year.
