subject: A Pet Resort Will Keep Your Pet Dog Happy And Healthy [print this page] People have been keeping animals and birds as pets for generations. Cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, parrots, cows, horses and even snakes have been domesticated. Among these animals, a dog is perhaps the most popular and widely kept pet animal. Dogs need constant care and attention. If you wish to keep your dog fresh and healthy, you must bathe it each day, comb its hair, clean its coat and trim its nails. You may even like pampering your pet dog with dog ribbons, fancy collars, hair styling, and so on. However, due to hectic lifestyle, you may be unable to look after your dogs properly. Also, if you are going on a business trip, you will not be able to take your pet along with you. This is where a pet resort can help you.
A pet resort undertakes all pet care services, such as bathing, coat-cleaning, nail cutting, as well as grooming through professional dog groomers. Special dog spas and salons are also available. The finer establishments provide both spacious indoor and outdoor facilities. Some even have web cams in their resort thus you can see your pet live even if you are vacationing across the globe. The pets get luxurious homes to live in, having green surroundings and comfortable shelters for sleeping and playing. They also get complete freedom to play with other pets. The pets are never caged and are constantly under watch, to prevent any mishap.
A pet resort also has professional dog trainers. These trainers undertake programs to teach the dog basic obedience, good dog manners, hygiene and a host of other necessary skills. These programs usually last for few weeks, and the focus areas include basic dog behavior, controlling dog movement, nipping and play biting, dog play, socialization, correction of errors etc. As a dog owner, you must be keen on understanding your dog better; the trainers can guide you on understanding specific dog behavior, as well as methods to continue training the dog.
A pet resort may provide all the facilities but you also need to ensure the good health of your dog. Your dog may show signs of illness. The signs of sickness in dogs are not much different from those in human beings. General weakness and reduction of activity, disruption of motor activities, incessant barking or whining, and change in eating habits may be the symptoms of illness. In these cases, it is best to take your dog to a good veterinary clinic, or a well known pet hospital. In any case, the medication provided or course of action suggested by the veterinarian should be followed only as directed, otherwise it can cause side effects in dogs. It is necessary, however, to look for a well-known and credible pet clinic. You can browse through the net in order to find the best clinic. Most pet clinics and hospitals undertake all kinds of treatments, including surgery, so you can be assured of proper medication and recovery of your dog.
