Should I put my dog down? - The Kennel Club
The thought of losing a dog is painful, but being the one that decides to have them put to sleep can be heart-wrenching. Our dogs bring so much love into our lives, and it’s hard to imagine a time when we won’t feel their wagging tails thumping against our leg or their head nudging against our hands, asking for a stroke.
Your dog's seasons | The Kennel Club
Your dog’s breed and size play a big part in when she is likely to have her first season. Most smaller breeds can have their first season at around six months old, but this can vary quite a lot from dog to dog, while some larger breeds may not go in to heat until they are over a year old.
Dog and puppy vaccinations | The Kennel Club
Vaccinating your dog can protect them from important infectious diseases that can be harmful or kill them. These diseases used to circulate in the dog population, but widespread vaccination programmes now provide a significant degree of protection to dogs that have been immunised and those that haven’t.
