Routine Care, Diet, and Exercise

Build her routine care into your schedule to help your Aussie live longer, stay healthier, and be happier during her lifetime. We cannot overemphasize the importance of a proper diet and exercise routine.

·     Supervise your pet as you would a toddler. Keep doors closed, pick up after yourself, and block off rooms as necessary.

         This will keep her out of trouble and away from objects she shouldn't put in her mouth.

·     Very easy to groom—just run a brush through her coat once in a while.

         Her weather resistant coat needs its natural oils, so don't over bathe her.

·     Australian Shepherds generally have good teeth, and you can keep them perfect by brushing them at least twice a week!

·     Clean her ears weekly, even as a puppy.

·     She's a very smart dog with lots of energy, so keep her mind and body active, or she'll get bored.

         That's when the naughty stuff starts.

·     Keep your dog's diet consistent and don't give her people food.

·     Feed a high-quality diet appropriate for her age.

·     Exercise your dog regularly, but don't overdo it at first.
