While those sloppy kisses may be cute, be aware that your dog's mouth is apt to be crawling with germs and bacteria. Dogs poke around trash cans, love smelling and licking other dogs' body parts and enthusiastically drink from toilet bowls. It is not true that a dog has a cleaner mouth than a person. This is absolutely a myth!

If you bring your pet on vacation with you, keep a picture of him with you, particularly on your phone. This will be helpful should he get lost.

This will give you security and an area that your dog is comfortable. Distraction ensues, and it is harder to get your dog to focus on basic commands.

Even if your dog is well-behaved, never leave home without putting him on a leash. Anything can happen, causing your dog to run away or get in a fight with other dogs or even people. You will be to blame if your dog gets hurt for being off his leash.

Dogs are pack animals by their very nature and usually prefer the company of their own kind. By choosing another dog that matches your pup's energy level and temperament, you'll ensure that your dogs will be great companions for each other.

If you'd like to be a dog owner, but think you might not be able to handle the commitment, consider fostering dogs. Shelters are full of animals who need a loving home, and there's not room to hold all of them. Fostering a dog will both help the cause and allow you to test drive the responsibility involved with pet ownership.

Make sure your dog is getting enough exercise. This will keep his bones and muscles strong and healthy. From a simple walk to a vigorous game of fetch, both of you will find the time well spent. In addition to providing much needed exercise, you will develop a lifelong bond with your pup.

If you are seeking a dog of a particular breed, be sure to check with your local animal shelter first. Dogs are abandoned daily at such facilities, and they are in need of new homes. Call the pound to see what they have. When you adopt a dog, you save its life.

Just as your dog is a great companion to you, you must be a great companion to him/her. As long as you use the tips you read above, you will do your job of caring for your new dog well.
