你真的知道怎麼照顧你的狗狗嗎？

Puppies are cuddly bundles of energy and cuteness who also need special care as they start to explore the world. Here, the American Veterinary Medical Association offers caregiving tips for puppies:
小狗們也會花精力去可愛地討好你，它們也需要在自己剛開始探索這個世界的時候得到一些特殊的幫助。這裏是美國獸醫協會提供的狗狗看護建議。

First checkup: Puppies should be vaccinated starting at 6 weeks. Also learn what signs of illness puppies can display, as they are especiallysusceptible in their early months.
第一次健康檢查：狗狗應該在6周大的時候就接種疫苗。同時也可以看看狗狗們都有哪些可能導致生病的跡象，因爲它們最初幾個月大的時候特別容易生病。

Tracking: Is your pup's ID tag up to date? Be sure it has your current contact information.
追蹤：你家狗狗的標籤更新到最新的了嗎？要確保上面有你的聯絡信息。

Household hazards: Pup-proof your home, keeping poisonous chemicals and food secured well out of reach. Remember that many "people'' foods are toxic to dogs including chocolate, onions, avocados, and many more.
注意日常危險：如果家裏有小狗，一定要把有毒化學物品和安全的食物放到它夠不着的地方。記住：許多我們的食物對狗狗來說是有毒的，包括巧克力、洋蔥、牛油果以及其他的很多東西。

Potty training: Establish a housebreaking routine and stick with it to help lessen the chances of accidents. Reward your pal whenever he makes it outside for the bathroom.
如廁訓練：要做一個管教條例，並且堅持執行，以此來減少事故的發生機率。無論何時，你的狗狗在你臥室外如廁的話，都要給它獎勵。

Play time: Make it a point to regularly exercise your puppy. It helps keep him (and you) healthy and happy.
要有玩的時間：要記得帶你的狗狗定期鍛鍊。這能讓它們（還有你自己）保持身體健康和身心愉快。
