Unfortunately, dogs only stay puppies for so long and they will need to switch to an adult diet to ensure they are getting the proper nutrients. Puppies are considered adults at 12 months of age and should be switched onto an adult diet around this time.
Skin parasites
Skin parasites (fleas, ticks, etc.) are the easiest to diagnose and most common during summer months. It only takes one or two fleabites to set off a reaction. The flea itself is not the culprit, but their saliva that causes the allergic reaction. What you can do: Keep your dog on a flea or flea and tick prevention program and check him regularly for fleas, flea droppings (small black flecks) and ticks (if you’ve been hiking or walking in areas where ticks are present).
