Introduction

Akitas are a beautiful breed of dog and can be very loyal. However, they have unique needs that must be met if you want your akita to live a long and healthy life. Here are 10 ways to take care of your akita dog:

Brush often.

Brush often.

Brush your akita’s coat to remove dead hair and prevent tangles, dirt, debris and parasites from accumulating in his coat. Brushing also helps keep the dog clean, healthy and looking great!

Brush his teeth.

Brush his teeth:

When it comes to brushing your Akita’s teeth, there are a few things you should know. First of all, it is important to brush your Akita’s teeth at least two times per week. It is also important that you use the right kind of toothbrush with soft bristles for their sensitive gums and mouths. Do not use human toothpaste on your dog as most of them contain fluoride which can be harmful for dogs especially puppies. Lastly, make sure that each time you brush your dog’s teeth he doesn’t swallow any excess water since this might cause stomach upset or even diarrhea!

Groom its claws.

Nails should be trimmed regularly. Akita nails grow very fast, so it is best to cut them every week or two.

Clippers are the easiest tool to use for this task. If you don’t have clippers, you can use a nail file or even a credit card to gently push back the quick and clip off the extra length from your dog’s nails. It’s important not to cut into the quick when trimming your dog’s claws—this could cause bleeding that can lead to other health problems later on if left untreated.*

If you accidentally cut too short: If you accidentally cut your dog’s nails too short and cause bleeding, apply cornstarch or flour onto a cotton ball and press firmly onto each toe until bleeding stops.* Then apply an antiseptic ointment (iodine works well).*

If you accidentally cut too long: If your dog has grown out their nail too far due long periods of time between grooming sessions, file down any sharp edges by holding them securely by hand then gently rub against their paw pad until smooth again.*

Keep him mentally stimulated.

If you’re new to dog ownership, it may be tempting to let your Akita do whatever he wants. After all, they are smart and stubborn enough that they can entertain themselves for hours in the backyard. However, this can lead to behavioral issues if they don’t get enough mental stimulation.

Akitas are known as “shinshin” (or “soul” in Japanese) dogs because they have very high energy levels and need a lot of exercise throughout the day. They also need mental stimulation in order to stay happy and healthy. The following activities will keep your akita busy:

• Teach him tricks like sit and stay
• Take him on walks around the neighborhood or at a nearby park
• Play hide-and-seek with squeaky toys

Take them for a swim.

One of the best ways to bond with your akita is to take it swimming. Akitas love water, and they are excellent swimmers. However, it’s important that they not swim in deep water or in cold water: They can get hypothermia very easily! If you’re going to take your akita swimming, make sure that there are no other dogs around who might be aggressive towards them—a good time for this would be early in the morning before anyone else is awake. You should also never leave your akita alone when it’s in the water—it could drown if it isn’t paying attention!

Go for a walk with your akita as often as you can.

You should walk with your akita as often as you can. The best times to do this are in the morning, evening, during the day and at night. Be sure to take a walk when it rains too!

If you want to take really good care of your akita dog then go for a walk with them every day. You should even try to teach them how to walk without dragging their leash so they can safely get exercise on their own without getting tangled up in the leash or having it drag on the ground behind them while they’re walking (which is actually dangerous).

Akita dogs love going outside and being active so make sure that you get plenty of exercise every single day by taking your dog out for walks whenever possible! The more often they get outside then chances are better that they’ll stay healthy long term because walking helps keep their weight under control which reduces their risk of developing serious health conditions later down life such as heart disease or diabetes from obesity issues caused by not exercising enough throughout life.”

Buy them toys and keep him active.

Akita dogs love to have fun and play. They are intelligent, athletic and love exercise! In fact, it is important for them to get out for walks every day or at least every other day.

Akitas are well known for their loyalty, so treat them like family members when you bring them home. They need lots of attention—almost as much as a puppy does!

Make sure you give your new akita dog plenty of toys that will help him stay active while he learns the house rules: bones, balls with bells inside, chew toys made out of cowhide leather or nylon rope toys with knots in them are all excellent choices because they will keep him busy during his down time between walks outside when there isn’t anything else going on around here yet (which is usually late afternoon around 4pm before dinner time).

Train your akita to socialize with other people and pets.

Training your akita to socialize with other people and pets is important. Socialization helps them to be comfortable around new people, animals and situations. Dogs that are properly socialized will be more trusting of strangers, less fearful of new places and things, more likely to greet new dogs in a friendly manner (rather than barking at them), etc.

Akitas should be taught good behavior from a young age because as they get older it’s harder for them to learn new things. You want your dog to respect you so that he/she listens when you tell him/her something or give him/her an order – this means no jumping up on humans or other dogs! When training this breed it’s important not only what commands they know but also how those commands are given – loud voices tend not work well with the Akita since they have sensitive hearing; instead try using hand signals first followed by verbal ones if necessary such as “sit” or “stay”.

Give them exercise time.

Exercise is an important part of your dog’s daily routine. It keeps them happy, healthy, and able to learn new things. The best way to give your Akita the exercise it needs is by getting out every day for walks! Your schedule will vary depending on how much time you have available and what temperature it is outside. Make sure that you’re giving yourself enough time with your dog so that they can get the full benefit of their walk while still spending quality time with their owner.

The amount of exercise your Akita needs depends on their breed, personality type, age and weight as well as environmental factors such as temperatures outside (too hot or too cold). A good rule-of-thumb is one hour per day but remember that this may vary depending on other variables like weather conditions or whether there’s snow on the ground which could make walking difficult for any pet owner!

Clean your dog’s ears properly and regularly check the inner ear canal for dirt, redness or scratches.

When you go to clean your dog’s ears, make sure to use a cotton ball or swab. Don’t stick anything into their ear canal that is sharp or could scratch their ear drum. Also, don’t use any chemicals to clean the ears (unless instructed by your vet). Instead, gently wipe away dirt and wax. You can also purchase an ear cleaning solution at most pet stores if you want to avoid doing this part yourself.

If your akita is not used to having its ears cleaned, it might resist when you start cleaning them so it is best not to try this until they are older or have had all of their shots completed.

Make sure that after cleaning both ears thoroughly and drying them off completely that there isn’t any moisture remaining in either one before putting on the bandage – this could lead towards infection which would require another trip back into town!

Akitas are great dogs, learn how to take care of yours today!

Akitas are among the most popular dog breeds in the world. These dogs have a lot going for them, including their great looks and personality. A well-trained Akita makes an excellent companion for someone who doesn’t need to be stuck home with their pup all day. If you’re considering buying one of these amazing dogs, here’s how to care for your Akita:

• You’ll want to keep your dog on healthy food and water; if they eat too many scraps or scraps that aren’t good for them (like pizza), they could get sick and require medical attention!
• An Akita is generally good with kids, but no matter how friendly your dog may be, it’s always best not to leave them alone with children who aren’t old enough yet to understand how safe they need to be around pets like yours!
• They can also get along with other animals–which means if you own cats as well as dogs then there shouldn’t be any problems when introducing each other into one household together at first sight (but still keep an eye out just incase).

Conclusion

Whether you’re looking for a new puppy or already own an akita, we hope these tips will help you take better care of your dog. Remember to brush his teeth, groom his claws and keep him mentally stimulated by providing toys and exercise. If you want to socialize him with other pets or people, then train him from an early age. Lastly, always make sure that he gets plenty of exercise time each day so he doesn’t get bored!
