General care guide: Dogs

Before you bring a dog home

A dog is a 10–15 year commitment. Match the breed to your space, schedule and budget, not just its looks.

Feeding

Puppies eat 3–4 meals a day, adults two. Use a quality food with meat as the first ingredient. Never feed chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, xylitol or cooked bones.

Vaccines & health

Core vaccines start at 6–8 weeks with yearly boosters; rabies from 12 weeks is essential in Iran. Deworm every three months and protect against fleas and ticks.

Training & exercise

Reward-based training works best. Socialise puppies between 3 and 14 weeks. Most dogs need at least two walks a day; working breeds need much more.
