My blog, is all about how to care for your, pets. You will find out how to welcome your dog into your home, feed your labrador and groom it.

Your dog, is just like a baby, it needs all the help it can get, to get to a full grown size adult. One of the main things is that you need to litter train your dog! I will help you to do this...

Everytime your dog, decides to pee inside the house, straight away with no hesitations, put your dog outside! It will soon get the message that you don't want it to go pee inside of the house!!!

How To Welcome Your Dog Into Your Home

Your dog will be just as worried as you would be, moving into a new family. So you have to make this time as easy as possible for you and the dog.

First you will have to buy your labrador, a suitable bed, as this will help. Also by your dog some toys, to play with. You will need a collar and a lead, so you can take the dog out for a walk.

My family had the mistake of buying my dog a cage, for when we went out. We thought this might help the dog feel secure, but this was not right. We put our dog, in the cage while we went out. When we got back our dog, was sat down, hunched up in the corner, shivering with fear. We had made a mistake, and we never did it again. We gave the cage back to my dads friend.

Please do not do this to your dog, as your dog will become just as scared as mine was!

What To Feed Your Labrador

Firstly you need to, decide where to feed your labrador.You need to keep this place the same, as your dog will get confused.

From when your puppy is about four to eight months, it will need 3 meals, but as your puppy, hits 9 months gradually lower the meals to 2. Then when your dog becomes 1, this is when your dog will only eat 1 meal.

A labrador should be firm not plump, so do not overfeed your labrador. Labradors will always eat what you put infront of them.

You normally watch dogs, gulp their food down, but this is only because they want to be able to eat their food, in peace, so chose somewhere where you know they can do this!

Grooming Your Labrador

You have to groom your labrador every month, to keep its coat looking healthy. Labradors have smooth, short haired coat which is very easy to groom. You need to brush your dog regularly with a good strong, bristle brush. Only bath or shower your dog, when needed. As their coat does shed.
