I have had a few dogs in my life as my pets before, the most recent one is now a 1 year and 8 months old, his name is Lucas. He is allergic to chicken, so I cook his food and make sure his kibbles are without chicken or any ingredients related to that. I walk him 4 times a day, 2 times in the morning and 2 in the evening. I always make sure to bathe him once a week because it is quite hot in the Philippines. I wash his bowls every after meals, I wipe his paws and butt every after walks. I love him like a child, and so I will love your dog as well.
