3 quick steps to a healthier dog

Naturally we all want whatever is best for our pet. Sometimes because of our hectic schedules, we tend to put our dog’s care at the bottom of our never ending list or it just becomes a habit of chores we perform daily without giving it to much thought. We stumble out of bed in the morning, let the dog out, fill his water bowl, dump a couple scoops of food in the dish and go on with our daily routine. This can get very boring for you and your dog.

In order to maintain your dog’s health there are three essential steps you need to follow:
1. A good diet
2. Plenty of fresh water
3. Exercise

A good diet is essential to your dog’s health. Be careful what types of food you buy! Always read the ingredients label, do not rely on the brand name of the dog food. An all natural dog food is what you should be looking for, try to stay away from any dog food that contains filler and by-products. The saying “you get what you pay for” definitely applies here. Although an all natural dog food will probably be more expensive, studies have shown that your dog will in almost all cases eat more of the “bargain brand” than the all natural 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 to live a healthy life. This will lead to your dog being hungrier more often and thereby eating more food, more often. Your dog will retain more of the nutrients contained in the all natural food which means they will be less hungry, develop healthier coats, more energy and better overall health.

Give your dog plenty of fresh water. Change it as often as you can think about it. A good rule of thumb is that every time you get yourself something to drink, add fresh water to your dog’s bowl.

Exercise your dog daily. This is also good for you. Take him for long walks, or throw a ball or stick around the backyard. Remember your dog’s heart and muscles need exercise just like yours to continue to grow and stay healthy.
