Takes about a minute a month
Can my dog eat this?
A calm, searchable answer for the moment something falls on the kitchen floor.
Search any food
A healthy mouth matters
A few gentle minutes, a few times a week, and your dog's mouth stays a lot more comfortable.
Coat & skin
Get to know what's normal for your dog, and you'll notice quickly when it isn't.
Body condition
The number on the scales matters less than how your dog looks and feels under your hands.
Paws & nails
Thirty seconds after a walk catches most of the small problems before they become sore ones.
Ears
Have a look, have a sniff. That's most of ear care.
Eyes
Bright, clear and equal. That's what you're looking for.
A good day for a dog
A walk, a little play, some food, plenty of sleep and time with you counts for a lot.
Know what's normal for your dog
You'll notice a change long before anyone else does. That's genuinely valuable.
Something seems different?
A calm place to work out whether this is a wait-and-see, or a ring-the-vet.
When it can't wait
The short list of things that mean ringing a vet straight away, at any hour.
Training and care go together
A dog who's comfortable being handled is easier to brush, check and take to the vet. The handling lessons in Train Your Dog make all of this easier.
