Did you know that your dog can provide care to humans besides you? Many local agencies are looking for help with their dog care programs. They take dogs into hospitals where there are sick children or older adults. In some locations, your dog can become a reading dog that will help a child to practice his or her reading skills.

To keep the dog grooming going at its best, make bath time fun for both of you. Dog care is needed in the way of a bath, nail clippings and in brushing. Keep your mind positive and reassure them that they are being a good dog during the process. If your mood stays up, so will his.

Dog care is more than just providing food and water. All dogs need a good amount of exercise and that means being able to go outside and play. You should provide your dog with several hours per day of interaction with you and playing outdoors. Teach them tricks to help keep their mind sharp too.
