Overview

  • New guidance from Publimetro and La Crónica cites MVZ Emilía Tobías of Boehringer Ingelheim México urging regular checkups, vaccinations, parasite control, proper nutrition, exercise, and dental care.
  • Puppy care starts with vaccination, deworming, diet planning, and socialization, with small and medium breeds considered puppies to about seven months and large breeds to about one year.
  • During adulthood, prevention remains central with vaccine boosters, routine vet visits, balanced diets, and daily activity, as over 80% of dogs older than three develop periodontal disease.
  • In senior dogs, more frequent veterinary monitoring, adapted diets, ongoing parasite prevention, and moderated exercise help maintain mobility and quality of life.
  • La Vanguardia’s essentials list includes bowls, quality food, collar and leash, a supportive bed, toys, grooming supplies, ID tags, and a carrier, favoring stainless steel or ceramic bowls over plastic for hygiene.
