Todays Tips-How can you minimize the chance of catching a disease from your dog
When you discover your dog is infected you should treat the infection as soon as possible. Your dog may need to be isolated depending upon the dangers inherent in the transfer of the disease. You should always wash your hands after handling your dogs. The kissing of pets should be discouraged. Dogs should not be allowed to lick the face or sleep with humans or on beds. Dogs should not be allowed to lick plates and utensils used for human use, and their own feeding bowls should be washed separately from dishes that are for human use. The dog's feces should be collected and disposed of as soon as possible. Regular grooming and bathing of your dog will reduce infection being spread. Never feed dogs raw foods such as meats or eggs. Carrots and other vegetables and fruits are fine.
