A Healthy Vizsla Dog

When you first bring your Vizsla puppy home you want to be a good parent and give it the best care possible. If you do your Vizsla dog should grow up to be a strong, healthy and vibrant hunting dog and family pet.

To keep an eye on your dog's health here are some vital signs that you should be aware of; breathing for healthy Vizsla dogs is between 15 and 30 respirations a minute during rest time. Your dog's temperature should be between 99.5 and 102.5 degrees. The heart rate for a healthy dog during rest is usually between 60 and 120 beats per minute. The normal glucose level for a dog is between 80 to 120 mg/dl and you can test them with a human glucose meter.

Know that with all dogs many things are poisonous including such things as Tylenol, Advil, chocolate, matches, cosmetics, deodorants, onions, suntan lotion and soap. Call your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your dog has ingested any of these.
