Chapter 1: Caring

Caring for a dog is hard work and a big responsibility. A dog will need to be taken out once an hour and feed, groomed, bathed, and given lots of attention. Every month, depending on your dogs hair type, it should be washed. If your dog has long hair or fur then it might need a bath twice or even three times a month. A dog will also need walks and plenty of exercise. Without lots of exercise, dogs are prone to issues such as diabetes and lung problems. It is crucial that a dog gets proper care and attention.
