Medical preventive measures
To such measures belong vaccination and cleaning from inside and
surface parasites, like worms, fleas and mites. Remember, that
health and even life of your dog depend upon these measures.
Vaccination helps your dog’s organism to get ready to the “meeting”
with harmful microorganisms. In general, vaccination is a way to
preserve your dog from diseases and to increase his immunity. Visit
the vet, get your puppy vaccinated in time and later make sure he
get the booster shots at the right time.
Parasites, like worms and fleas, carry different infections. Though
many new vaccines have appeared recently, it is still easier to
prevent illness than to cure it. That’s why preventive vaccines
remain to be the only one reliable method to protect your dog’s
health.
Vaccines should be made only by veterinarian. He will recommend you
certain vaccine and will watch over your dog’s reaction to it. Don’t
try to save on your dog’s vaccination, because the health of your
favourite dog depends directly upon it. Vaccine should be chosen
according to age, weight and many other characteristics of your dog,
that vet can think over better than you.
Cleaning from worms and fleas.
Cleaning from worms is the first preventive measure in puppy’s life.
It’s difficult to recommend some certain medicine. You should watch
over you dog’s health to determine how often the medicine should be
given.
Medicine against worms is normally recommended to be given three
times in a year. The same applies to the medicine against fleas and
mites.
Note, that cleaning procedures shouldn’t be fulfilled on puppies
under three months.
Remember, that medical care is vital to any dog. Even if your Great
Dane seems to have no problems with health, it’s recommended to
visit vet at least once in a year for yearly checkup.
