3 Simple Steps For A Healthier Dog
Author: Jim De Fazio
We all want what is best for our pet. Yet sometimes because of
your hectic schedules, we tend to put our dog’s care at the
bottom of the list or it just becomes a habit of chores we
perform every day without giving it much thought. We stumble out
of bed in the morning, let the dog out, fill the water bowl,
dump some food in the dish and go on with our daily routine.
Let’s face it this can get very boring for you and especially
for your dog.
In order to maintain your dog’s health there are really only
three simple 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
you buy! Read the ingredients label not just the name of the dog
food. An all natural dog food is what you should be looking for,
not one that contains filler and by-products. Remember you get
what you pay for. Although an all natural dog food may be 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 and thereby eating more. Your dog will
retain more of the nutrients contained in the all natural food
which means they will be less hungry, have healthier coats, more
energy and better overall health.
Give your dog plenty of fresh water. Change it as often as you
can. A good rule to follow is that every time you get yourself
something to drink, add new water to your dog’s bowl.
Exercise your dog daily. This is good for you also. Take long
walks, throw a ball or stick around the backyard or park.
Remember your dog’s cardiovascular system, heart and muscles
need exercise just like yours.
