Some raw meat occasionally is also good. Don’t forget to ensure a constant supply of cool, fresh water.

Groom your pet. Brush him at least twice a week. Check his eyes and ears for infection and remember to brush his teeth at least 2 or 3 times a week with special canine toothbrush and toothpaste.
Make sure he is exercised. He'll love a walk each day.
