In order to maintain your dogs health there are three simple steps you will need to follow:
1. A good diet
2. Plenty of fresh water
3. Exercise .
A good diet is essential to your dogs health in mush the same way a good diet is essential to your good health. Be careful what you buy! Always read the ingredients label not just the brand name of the dog food. An all natural dog food is what you should be looking for, try not to buy one that contains filler and by-products. Remember the saying “you get what you pay for”, because it is especially true here. Although an all natural dog food may be a little more expensive, studies have shown that your dog will in almost all cases eat more of the “bargain brand” than the all natural, nutritious dog food. The “bargain brands” will pass through your dog more quickly because they do not contain as much of the daily nutrients your dog requires. This leads to your dog being hungrier more often which will cause him to eat more. Your dog will retain more of the nutrients contained in the all natural food which means they will be less hungry, have healthier, shinier coats, more energy and better overall health.
Give your dog plenty of fresh water. Change his water as often as you can. A good rule to follow is that every time you get yourself a drink, add new water to your dogs bowl, he will enjoy it and be forever grateful.
Exercise your dog daily. This is also good for you. Take him on long walks, throw a ball or stick around the backyard or local park. Remember your dogs cardiovascular system, heart and muscles need exercise just like yours do.
