Puppy health

Having a happy dog is important to both you and your pet. You want to make sure your dog is living a good life and you want a trusting companion that you can also trust right back.
The biggest sign that your dog is happy and is living a good life is simply by observing its personality. If your dog is generally in good spirits, alert, and playful, that’s definitely a good sign. A happy dog is a playful dog. The next sign that your puppy is happy is a bright shiny coat of fur. Dogs with shiny coats have been given proper levels of nutrition and have been well loved. These dogs are quite happy.
A happy dog is also one that can trust its owner. A dog that doesn’t trust its owner likely is unhappy, as it is living life scared. There are a few simple things that a dog should trust its owner to do. The first is often known as the “flip-flop test.” You should pick up the dog with your hands support it underneath its stomach, then flip it over, cradling it in your arms. You should be able to rub its belly like that without it kicking or squirming to get away. If it abides, it likely trusts you.
Further, you should be able to look inside its ears and put your finger in its ears for an inspection. It might squirm a bit because it’s uncomfortable, but ultimately it should let you do what you need to do. http://msary80.mydietblogger.com/2008/09/01/dog-health
The other thing you should be able to do is open your dog’s mouth and run your fingers on its teeth and check out its tongue. You should do this regularly anyway in order to look for health problems in your dog’s mouth, but you need to be able to do this inspection in order for your dog to feel as if it trusts you. After all, that’s when it’s happy.
