🐶 Dog Health Tips for the UK

1. 🐾 Regular Vet Checkups

   • Schedule annual or biannual vet visits.

   • Stay on top of vaccinations (e.g., leptospirosis, kennel cough).

2. 💊 Flea, Tick & Worming Treatment

   • UK weather means parasites can be active year-round.

   • Use vet-recommended flea/tick treatments and worming every 1–3 months.

3. 🌧️ Rainy Walks & Wet Paws

   • Dry your dog thoroughly after walks to avoid skin issues (especially between toes).

   • Watch for muddy paws causing irritation or infection.

4. 🌡️ Seasonal Health Care

   • Winter: Short-haired breeds might need a coat.

   • Summer: Avoid walks during midday heat — early morning or late evening is better.

5. 🦷 Dental Care

   • Brush their teeth regularly or use dental chews.

   • Vets can also offer dental cleaning if needed.

6. ⚖️ Diet & Weight Control

   • Feed high-quality dog food and avoid over-treating.

   • Obesity is a common problem in UK pets.

7. 🏡 Pet Insurance

   • Vet bills can be expensive — consider getting reliable pet insurance.

8. 🐕 Identification & Microchipping (UK Law)

   • All dogs must be microchipped by 8 weeks old.

   • Keep collar with ID tag when out in public.

9. 🐾 Regular Grooming

   • Especially important for long-haired breeds.

   • Trim nails, clean ears, and keep fur tangle-free.
