Owning a dog can be great fun and immensely rewarding. But given that dogs have complex needs, our expert advice will help you ensure your dog is healthy and happy. Most dogs love going for walks. But while all dogs need exercise, the levels of physical activity should go in line with their heath, age, athleticism and individual needs. Dogs are highly social. Many dogs enjoy the company of other dogs, but they'll also form strong social bonds with humans, becoming very attached to particular people in their lives. Adopt a rescued dog from the RSPCA. If you're looking to introduce a dog into your family, why not offer a forever home to a dog in our care?

Feed puppies eight to 12 weeks old four meals a day.
Feed puppies three to six months old three meals a day.
Feed puppies six months to one year two meals a day.
When your dog reaches his first birthday, one meal a day is usually enough.
For some dogs, including larger canines or those prone to bloat, it's better to feed two smaller meals.
Dogs need exercise to burn calories, stimulate their minds, and stay healthy.
Help keep your dog clean and reduce shedding with frequent brushing.
To carry a puppy or small dog, place one hand under the dog's chest, with either your forearm or other hand supporting the hind legs and rump.
Never attempt to lift or grab your puppy or small dog by the forelegs, tail or back of the neck.
Your pet needs a warm, quiet place to rest, away from all drafts and off the floor.
