For the Love of Dogs


If you love a dog, it’s probably a really big love. Here are 4 things that you can do to let your dog know you care.

Keep Them Fit
—Most dogs will eat as much as you give them and as often as you give it too them. This is not the healthiest thing to allow your dog to do. Obesity in dogs, like humans, has devastating consequences on good health. Check with your veterinarian for weight guidelines, and keep your dog within them. Your dog will reward you by being more energetic and healthier for longer.

Exercise Regularly
—If your dog is an indoor pooch, it is doubly important to make sure it gets exercise daily. A walk with you would probably be your dog’s first choice. Frisbee, swimming, or fetching a ball might also be favorites. Don’t worry your dog will select the activity of the day by bringing the ball, Frisbee or leash to you.

Feed Your Dog Well—Feeding it well means taking great care in the portions of dog food, treats, and table scraps you offer. If the portions suggested on commercial dog food tend to make your dog heavier than it should be, try cutting the portions back gradually and adding vegetables such as organic green beans, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and other fresh foods. In many cases you will find that your dog will have more pep and fewer health issues caused by being overweight.

Make sure fresh water is always available, and if your dog drinks from the toilet be sure the water is constantly fresh. Most dogs think of it as their personal water fountain.

Clean Environment—If your dog stays mostly outside, make sure to clean up frequently so that it has the best possible living conditions. If your dog is an inside pooch, vacuum regularly to take out hair, dander, dust, and other pollutants that have fallen out of the air.

Use an air purifier designed for pets to remove airborne dog hair, dander, and odor from the air, thus reducing the amount that is able to fall to the floor. Your dog will love you for it.
