Part 2 - about the kitten

Do we say,

When John reached home, he quickly washed the kitten's wound with antiseptic. After that he bandaged it with a piece / a roll of gauze. It looked hungry, so John gave it some food to eat and also named it "Snowie".

He always took the dog for a walk. / He always walked the dog in the park. After few weeks, it recovered. / it recovered from injuries. It is now a guard dog when its owner was not around. He promised to take good care of it. / He promised his parents to take good care of it.
