Life Stages/Dogs

Depending on the breed, dogs can live an average of 10 to 15 years or more and with an improved understanding of veterinary medicine, dogs are living healthier and longer lives. Like humans, as dogs progress from youth to later years, they go through physical and emotional changes. Each stage has its own uniqueness and importance and the ability to recognize and accept these changes makes the human-dog bond even more special.

Puppy
Newborn puppies sleep almost constantly for the first week or two of their lives. Born blind and deaf, a 2-day-old Labrador retriever puppy is still capable of feeling, smelling and tasting. By 2 or 3 weeks of age, it will start seeing and hearing, while its other senses continue to develop. And by the end of the first month, it will begin to growl, howl and bark.
Between 4 and 6 weeks of age, both domestic and wild pups, like rambunctious young coyotes, are strong and coordinated enough to engage in some rough-and-tumble play-fighting with their littermates. By 10 to 12 weeks of age, fully weaned and strengthened by solid food, wild canid pups start wandering farther and farther from their dens.

How to pamper our dogs

The best ways to pamper your dog involve spending quality time with him, keeping him active and feeding him well. Next, find out how you can make your dog feel special using things you probably already have around the house.

Most dogs love to eat, well, just about anything. A treat for your dog can be as simple as a few small bits of unseasoned, cooked meat or cooked vegetables like green beans or carrots. You can even bake your own dog treats; just make sure that your recipe doesn't include any ingredients that aren't good for dogs, like onions. If baking isn't your style, look for high-quality treats online or at specialty pet stores. Most of your dog's nutrition should come from meals, not snacks, so keep that in mind when doling out the treats. It's also a good idea to ask your vet about your dog's snacks.
Pampering your dog is a wonderful way to show him how much you care, but ultimately, the best way to do that is to spend some quality time with him. He loves you unconditionally and that's all he asks for in return.
