Article: Over-exercising your dog when he is young can lead to bone and joint issues that may lead to the development of hip dysplasia. Gentle, low impact exercises can be beneficial for puppies, but avoid letting your pup run, leap, or jump until he is physically mature. High impact sports like jumping and leaping can be hard on your puppy's developing joints, so avoid doing these activities with your puppy until he is fully developed. Keep your dog active to help him stay physically fit with moderate exercise like running, walking, and swimming. Dogs with large, strong leg muscle mass may be less likely to develop hip dysplasia than dogs with a smaller muscle mass. Activities that might apply too much force on your dog's joints, such as jumping for a Frisbee or leaping for a ball, can lead to development of hip issues. Consistent walking, running, and swimming can help your dog build muscle strength without putting too much stress on his body.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Do not allow your dog to run or leap when he is a puppy. Take your dog on walks or runs when he is an adult. Avoid doing a lot of jumping activities with your dog.
Article: If you think you have a worm virus, download a dedicated virus removal tool to scan for and remove viruses. Do this even if you already have antivirus software, as the software on your computer may be infected. Once you've chosen a virus removal tool, download it to your desktop. Most companies that sell antivirus software also offer free virus removal tools. Some options besides Microsoft's own are Kaspersky Free Virus Scan and Sophos Virus Removal Tool. If you can't use a web browser on the infected computer, use a different computer to download a virus removal tool, then burn it to a CD or DVD. Insert the burned disc into the infected machine, press Win+E to launch File Explorer, then double-click your DVD-ROM drive to find the tool. Worms and other malware can hide in the System Restore files, which may hide them from virus removal tools. You should turn off System Restore before running the removal tool to prevent this from happening. Windows 7 and Vista users should type "protection" into the search box instead, then click "System protection." " This works on any Windows version. If you have a separate antivirus program like McAfee or Kaspersky, open it and find the "settings" or "options" area, then find an option for "disable" or "turn off." Once the program is disabled, you'll probably see a message that says your computer is at risk. You can ignore it for now as you'll be restoring it soon. The computer will then reboot into the Chose an Option screen. This begins the process of booting into Safe Mode on a Windows 8 or 10 computer.

You are now in safe mode and can skip the next few steps intended for Windows 10/8 users. " The computer will reboot a second time. Or, if you inserted a CD/DVD that contains the tool, double-click the tool to open it. The scan will take at least several minutes to complete. Depending on the computer, software, and infection level, this may take over an hour. Once the virus scan is complete, the antivirus tool will report its results. If you see prompts to "quarantine" (another term for safely removing the malware from your PC), follow them so that the files are properly destroyed. Some programs, such as Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool, will remove the malware/worms without your intervention. If nothing is found, it's very likely that you don't have a worm virus. If you still think you may be infected, try one of the other virus-removal tools. " The computer will reboot normally, without a worm infection. Don't skip this step! To allow Windows to create automatic restore points for emergency use, return to the System Restore (called "System Protection" in Windows Vista and 7) dialog and check "Turn on system protection". If you previously disabled your antivirus software, turn it back on now. Windows Defender is an antivirus/anti-malware suite built into Windows. Most PC manufacturers install free trial versions of antivirus software suites, which disable Defender by default. Enabling Defender is a great (and free!) way to keep your computer safe from worms. Press S to launch search, then type "defender". Click "Windows Defender" in the search results, then (in Windows 8, 10) click "Settings," and flip the following switches to the "On" position: Real-time protection, Cloud-based protection, and Automatic sample submission.

Article: Regular brushing will remove loose hairs, dirt, and external parasites. It will also help spread natural oils produced by your cat's skin throughout its fur. This will increase the overall shininess and sleekness of your cat's coat. Brushing your cat frequently will also reduce the amount of fur that it swallows when grooming itself, thus reducing the number of hairballs it produces. Begin grooming your cat at a young age so that it will get accustomed to it. Professional cat-grooming services may also be available in your area. Prices for these services can vary widely. Long-haired varieties of cats will need more frequent brushing than short-haired varieties. Long-haired cats will need to be brushed once every few days, while short-haired cats may only need grooming once a week. Other experts suggest brushing long-haired cats for at least 15 minutes per day. To brush your cat well, you will need a quality general brush, a steel comb, and a rubber or bristle brush. All of these should be versions designed specifically for cats. Optionally, a fine chamois or washcloth can be used to wipe your cat after brushing. This will remove any remaining hairs and improve the shine of your cat's coat. Starting with the general brush, stroke your cat's fur softly, working from head to tail. Next, use the steel comb the same way. This will help remove any dirt and debris. Finally, use a bristle or rubber brush, which will remove any loose hairs. If your cat's fur has any tangles, carefully work those out before brushing its whole coat. If you wish, wipe your cat with a chamois or washcloth after brushing to maximize the shine of its coat. Make sure to be gentle on your cat's sensitive areas, such as its belly. To brush the tail of a long-haired cat, make a part down the middle and brush fur to either side.
