How to care for a Search Dog

Search Dogs are instrumental in helping emergency search and rescue operations. Search Dog Resources can provide information about how to carry for Search Dogs, including nutrition and exercise requirements.

Search Dogs should be given a balanced diet, access to clean water, and plenty of opportunities for physical activity. Search Dogs also need mental stimulation: providing engaging interactive toys can go a long way toward keeping them healthy and happy! Regular veterinary check-ups are important as well – Search Dog services typically include yearly examinations and vaccinations. In addition, when Search Dogs retire from active service their handlers may want to consider enrolling them in canine massage or physiotherapy classes to keep them in the best condition possible throughout their golden years.
