It is always a good idea to do regular checks on your dog.
Sticking with the theme of dog pain awareness month, we suggest that every evening you check your dogs paws, ears, mouth, body and tail. This will ensure that you notice an issue as soon as it happens and it will get your dog used to being touched and make vet visits easier:)
If your pup isn't happy with being touched all over, have a treat in your one hand and use the other hand to check your pup. This way your pup is being positively reinforced for allowing its body to be touched:)
Here is a little video we did to show you how to do it:)
