Helpful Tips for Dogs

Short how-to videos from our veterinary team on caring for your dog at home.

Use a clean plastic container and collect a mid-stream sample by sliding the container in while your male dog urinates. Refrigerate if you can’t deliver it within an hour.

Gently slide a clean container beneath your female dog as she squats. Aim for a mid-stream sample. Store in the fridge if delayed and bring it to your vet promptly.

Start brushing slowly using a pet toothbrush and toothpaste. Use calm motions and let your dog get used to the taste and feel. Build trust and consistency for success.

Wash hands, hold your dog gently, and apply the drops into the corner of the eye without touching the surface. Reward them with praise afterward.

Warm the drops slightly, hold your dog still, and squeeze the medication into the ear canal. Massage gently and allow your dog to shake out any excess.

Mix liquid medicine with a small portion of tasty wet food. If that fails, use a syringe to slowly squirt it into the side of the mouth while calming your dog.

Hide pills in a treat or soft food. If necessary, gently place it in the back of the mouth and rub the throat to help them swallow. Praise them afterward.
