The most important gift you can give your dog is your time. Dogs love being with their human family, particularly the human they look up to the most.
2. Guidance.
Dogs are like children in many ways. They need discipline and guidance to learn how to navigate through life, and to feel loved and cared for.
3. Exercise.
Most dogs, especially young ones, need regular exercise. This means a game of fetch in the backyard, a hike in the woods or a run on the beach.
4. Vet care.
Just as with humans, dogs need yearly doctor visits. Your vet will recommend annual injections for common canine illnesses like distemper and bordetella, and will also provide a rabies shot if it's due.
5. Good food.
Nutrition is an important part of your dog's wellbeing. Good dog dads don't skimp by buying cheap food just to save a few bucks a month.
6. Love.
Of course, don't forget one of the most important aspects of canine care: love. Don't be shy to show your dog that you love him. Your dog's gratitude will make it worthwhile.
