Why your puppies or puppy get sick?

So why do dogs get sick? Well for a good majority of them it happens because of two factors. The weather is one of them. If your family puppy is left out in inclement weather they are definitely more prove to getting sick. They are mammals just like us and if you were to say leave them outside in the driving fall rain and they get soaked and then the temperature freezes and they are still out there. There is a good chance that they will at the very least come down with some type of cold.

The second most common reason for a sick dog is by human error. Dogs are known for sniffing around and getting into things. It is what dogs do. That makes them very susceptible to becoming sick from ingesting something that they shouldn't. Environmental poisons left by the people that are their masters. Things like household bleach or antifreeze left in the garage. All of these things can make dogs get sick at the very least and can cause a very painful and ugly death.

While it is true that a dog can eat things that would normally make a human as sick as, well - a dog - it is still not a good idea. I have seen my neighbors give rancid meat to their pet. Food that could actually be smelled from a few yards away and smelled really bad. The dog ate it, later he seemed to have to poop more than normal but no other ill effects. But why take the chance of killing something that you love? My rule of thumb is that if it is human food that I would not eat myself, it hits the trash and not my dog.

Water is another thing that can cause illness. Dogs like to lap up water wherever they find it. However standing pools of water can hold lots of disease-ridden things. SO another good piece of dog health advice here would be to make sure that your pet has a good supply of fresh water to drink.

If you are going to be gone for some period of time and your puppy is an outdoor dog the least you can do is arrange for someone to feed and water him while you are gone, or even better - look into an automatic feeder and water dispenser to solve the problem and help keep him fed and healthy.
