For all of their companionship, loyalty, and tail wags, dogs are easily the standard for unconditional love. For dog owners, ensuring their furry buddies are in good health means these extended members of the family will be around for a long time. Evergreen Kennels in Churchville, NY, has earned a reputation for compassionate doggy daycare service so that dogs are happy and healthy in a positive environment.

From the area’s premier boarding kennel, here are a few basic tips for providing your dog with the best health care possible:

• Regular Vaccinations: Puppies need a series of vaccinations early on to protect their growing immune systems from a number of ailments such as rabies and parvovirus. Booster shots at the veterinarian’s recommended intervals should also be followed.
• Flea & Heartworm Prevention: Maintain a routine application of flea and heartworm treatments to prevent potentially fatal heart disease. This is especially helpful if you plan to place your dog in a kennel because the applications can keep fleas from spreading to other dogs.
• Daily Brushing: Just like humans, dogs should have their teeth brushed every day. The removal of food and other particles can prevent plaque and tooth disease. There are a variety of brushes on the market designed for dogs of all sizes.
• Annual Physical Exams: At least once a year, dogs need a physical exam conducted by a veterinarian to check for any health concerns and to receive booster vaccinations. Early detection can help spot and treat issues right away.
• Blood Work: Older dogs need routine blood work to check for certain diseases. This is typically one important part of the dog’s annual exam.
