You are here:   Dog Training > Maybe it's just a common dog health problem

Your dog may be fussing when they have a common dog health problem.

Dog health is also a consideration. Just as dogs yip and yawp when they are physically uncomfortable, they may also do the same when they are sick, injured or aging.

Your dog should visit the vet at least once a year, should be clean and groomed, current with vaccinations, and free of fleas, ticks and mites. Claws should be

kept clipped to prevent tearing them, which may cause infection.

Inspect your dog’s ears, teeth and paw pads regularly, and be aware that changes in maturation (puppyhood-to-adolescence-to adulthood- to aging) may require adjustments in the type and quantity of food your dog eats. Like people, dogs may develop food or environmental allergies, which may require your vet’s assistance to diagnose and treat.
