Remember everyone it's that time of year for flea and tick infestations, please make sure to see your Veterinarian for flea and tick protection for your pets, we use Frontline- it's easy to apply and lasts for one month so you will need to treat for this once a month.
Also, especially important with the Elkhounds if they are outside dogs is to treat for worms. We have our dogs on Heartguard which prevents heartworm, hook and round worm. We also treat for tape worms with Safeguard Canine Dewormer. Your Veterinarian can best guide you in providing all the proper care and treatments so that your dog is a healthy dog.
We as Norwegian Elkhound owners always error on the side of caution. In fact, we are probably overly cautious- just because they are a huge part of our family. Elkhounds when outside get into everything, they love to hunt and/or corale other animals- this is just what they do. So again, be sure to get your dogs in for regular check-ups.
Owners of our previous litters may contact me any time with questions!
