Dogs can pick up all sorts of bugs, ailments and even injuries and as pet owners it’s not always easy to tell what’s wrong with them – after all they can’t tell us what’s happening to their bodies.

And while responsible pet owners will make sure their prized pooches get a checkup at the vets every year, it’s important to regularly check your dog yourself to make sure he or she is in a good, healthy condition.
