I thought it worth while to add one thing to your list though. Brushing your dogs teeth regularly appears to be very beneficial to their health. I have discussed this with several Vets over the last few years as well as read a couple of very good articles on the subject. It seems that left unattended bacteria can enter the bloodstream via the area around the teeth/gums and can lead to various problems. I have been brushing my dogs teeth twice a week for the past 10 years or so with good results(according to the Vets), but if you can't, at least have them inspected by your Vet and professionally cleaned as often as needed.
