Dogs are four legged children. Filtered water if upset stomach, research food best for breed to digest. I even make dog treats due to unnecessary fillers and brush doggie teeth for healthy gums when needed. Light head and tummy rubs are always needed. Sadly, I expect my best friends to live forever. Cared for the luv of my life (boxer) for 12yrs and 4 months until he passed last year; yes he came before the husband. We still have a super active 2yr old husky who has to have long walks and sprints to burn endless energy! Therefore, I’m use to demanding exercise for pets that love fresh air. My kids call me the dog whisperer, because I say the dog gives a certain look for different items they need.
