Most nutritionists agree that reproduction is the most critical stress encountered by a female dog. While the healthy male dog can sire hundreds of puppies without any stress whatever, the female is called upon to use tremendous amounts of energy and nutrients during pregnancy and lactation.
Dogs suffer from many of the same sicknesses that humans suffer from (heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, respiratory problems, skin problems). Certain types of breed are more susceptible to certain health problems than others.
Everyone wants his or her dog to be truly healthy. We get sad when our beloved pet is ill or unhappy. But often traditional courses of treatment don’t always work as well as we would want them to.
Most dogs remain strong in good health throughout their lives. Organs, cells, and even molecules are capable of self diagnosis. Nevertheless, there are lots of ways that you can help keep your dog healthy.

Everyone has “hand-me down” traditions. Getting to bed early on Christmas, trick-or-treating on Halloween, even serving dinner at a designated time; these are traditions past on from generation to generation. Training of your puppy is one of these traditions. Clarification of these techniques needs to be made more evident.
The similarities between people and dogs are daunting. Health is vital to our lives, and is the same with our dogs. Being aware of the symptoms and causes of these diseases can save your beloved pets life.
