Since dogs cannot tell us what’s wrong or what they’re feeling, your dog is completely dependent on you for his overall health and wellbeing.

No one knows your dog as well as you do.

So, if you begin to sense that your dog is just not acting like himself  (or if he is clearly sick or hurt) then it’s important that you find what is causing his discomfort and seek proper care and treatment as soon as possible.

Dog Health Issues

Your first inclination may be to try to help your dog yourself before taking him to the vet. While home remedies and alternative treatments performed without the guidance of a veterinarian may sometimes work, other times they may not and your dog could actually become worse if you don’t get proper treatment for your dog fast enough. So if your dog doesn’t seem to be getting better within 24 hours of trying a home remedy, it’s important that you take your dog to a veterinarian or pet emergency center right away.
