Practices designed to promote animal welfare often lead to improvements in husbandry:

• Veterinary supervision.
• Follow-up on vaccination protocols.
• Good handling techniques and good hygiene and cleanliness for breeding development.
• Providing appropriate diets and drinking water contributes to maintaining the animals' health.
• Tests for disease prevention (such as hip dysplasia, ACE, among others) ensure longer lifespans for dogs. Better care by breeders for their animals improves the chance of early diagnosis of diseases, which increases the likelihood of effective intervention.
• Provide safe and comfortable environments. Provide adequate space to prevent illness and death related to overcrowding.
• Animals should not suffer prolonged thirst.
• Animals should be comfortable, especially in their resting areas.
• Animals should be kept in an environment with an appropriate temperature.
• Animals should have space to move freely.
• Animals should not suffer pain as a result of improper handling.
• Animals should be able to exhibit natural, friendly, and social behaviors.
• Animals should be able to exhibit other naturally desirable behaviors, such as exploration and play.
• Good human-animal interactions are beneficial for animal welfare.
• Animals should not experience negative emotions, such as fear, distress, and frustration.
