Procedure:
Begin by asking students what they know about common dog health concerns. Write their responses on the whiteboard or chart paper.
Next, distribute the handouts on common dog health concerns. Have students read through the handouts and take notes on the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for each concern.
Once students have had time to read the handouts, lead a discussion on each of the common dog health concerns. Be sure to emphasize the importance of early detection and treatment.
After the discussion, have students complete a dog health record form for their own dogs. The form should include information on the dog's age, breed, weight, vaccination history, and any current health concerns.
Finally, have students develop a preventive care plan for their dogs. The plan should include regular checkups, vaccinations, and dental care.

Assessment:
Students will be assessed on their ability to identify the common health concerns of dogs, understand the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for these concerns, and develop a preventive care plan for their dogs.
The assessment will be based on their participation in the discussion, the completion of the dog health record form, and the development of the preventive care plan.

Extension Activities:
Students can research a specific dog health concern and present their findings to the class.
Students can volunteer at a local animal shelter or rescue organization to learn more about dog health and care.
Students can create a website or blog about dog health and care.
