By Stacey Massey


A pet can bring you hours of fun and companionship. Although prospective owners always think of the great times they will have with their dog, they also have to prepare themselves for the responsibility. The following are some tips for the owners of english labradors.

Grooming your dog is one of your responsibilities. When it is shedding its hair, you have to brush it regularly. This will remove the loose hair and keep the mane shiny. Take the time to clean its ears and brush its teeth. Clipping the nails will also be one of the tasks that you have to perform. If you do not know how to do this, you can take him to the vet.

When you are in need of help, you can go to a veterinarian. These doctors can help with the grooming but more importantly they can provide you with medical services. Vaccinations are important to protect your dog from fatal illnesses. There may also be medications that have to be given monthly. Talk to your doctor about these.

You can also get some recommendations from your doctor about what the puppy can eat. The breeder may also have a lot of knowledge regarding this. This breed is known for their appetite so make sure that the food you are giving him is appropriate. Do not be afraid to try different brands so you can find something your dog enjoys.

Because of their large appetites, it is important that they get enough exercise. A good workout will keep your pet physically fit. It will not be hard to get your dog to exercise as this breed loves the company of people. Take him out on a walk or let him roam in your yard. Playing a game with him will also be beneficial.

These dogs love to play so buying a few toys will be ideal. You will need these chew toys to ensure that they keep of your furniture. You will need a special shampoo for their hair and a bristle brush for his mane. You will need at least two bowls, one for food and the other for water.

When your dog is tired, he will need a place to rest. A crate can be bought so that he can have space of his own. While this can seem very restrictive, note the advantages. You can keep your puppy safe inside the house and he will have a place to sleep in. Moreover, when you are not there to supervise, you will not have to worry about the puppy getting intro trouble.

There is also insurance available for your pets needs. When your dog gets sick, the treatments can be very costly. Not all people will be able to shell out large amounts of money just to get their dog treated. If you want to avoid losing your dog when he can still be treated, an insurance will be helpful.

Taking care of english labradors requires a lot of work. Prepare yourself for the responsibilities of owning a dog. You will need to make time for grooming, cleaning and exercise. Keep your appointments with the veterinarian to ensure that your dog is in perfect health.
