Big-Impact Tips for Caring for Your Small Dog
Caring for a small dog is similar to looking after a larger one, but there are some key adjustments to ensure your little companion stays happy and healthy. Here are some essential tips to cater to your pint-sized pup's unique needs.
Feeding
Feeding your small dog requires special attention. Standard-size kibble from the store may be too big for your dog to chew comfortably. Opt for a kibble designed for smaller mouths, which is available from premium dog food brands. Soft canned foods are also a suitable option.
Safety and Containment
Exercise and outdoor potty time are vital for all dogs. While a fenced yard might feel secure, it may not suffice for small dogs. They can slip through or beneath gaps that would contain larger dogs. Additionally, overhead threats like hawks can pose a risk. To better protect your small dog, consider using a covered kennel run.
Training
Training small dogs is no more challenging than training larger breeds, but many tend to become spoiled. Regardless if your dog fits in a purse or pocket, they view the world through the lens of pack behavior. If you're not leading, they will. Ensure your small dog is thoroughly housetrained and encourage obedience by making them perform tricks or sit for treats and meals.
Grooming
Grooming is especially important for small dogs. They often require more frequent nail trims because they spend less time wearing down their nails on rough surfaces. If you’re feeding soft canned food, remember to brush their teeth twice a week to maintain dental health.
In conclusion, while caring for a small dog is similar to looking after any other dog, paying attention to these details can make a significant difference in meeting their special needs. By tailoring your approach, you'll ensure your small dog thrives in your care.
