FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Dogs: care, feeding and health
How many times a day should a dog be taken out?
A healthy adult dog needs to go out 3 times a day: two short walks to relieve itself and one long one (45-60 minutes) to walk, sniff and burn energy. Puppies need more, shorter outings.
How much dry food should a dog eat a day?
It depends on weight, age and activity: as a guide, a 10 kg dog eats around 200-250 g of dry food a day in two meals. The bag has a table by weight and it is always better to stay short than to overdo it.
Which vaccines are required for a dog?
The essential ones are the combined vaccine (distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis and parainfluenza) and the rabies vaccine. Puppies start at 6-8 weeks and repeat every 2-4 weeks until they are 16 weeks old.
