Dogs are the energy of the home. A healthy pet is actually a source of inspiration for the owner. Health is one important aspect you need to take care for your pet. A healthy diet is very important for every living being. It should be our primary concern of providing our dog with the healthiest food items and stopping it from feeding on unhealthy, junk, or unhygienic food items.

A balanced diet is critically important to your dog’s cell maintenance and growth and overall health. Keeping in mind the allergic foods instructed by the vet, your dog should be able to derive almost all of its nutritional requirements from the pet food it is given.

Check out these few ways by which you can ensure a healthy and energy-filled life for your dog.

What To Serve

Processed foods are said to have a long shelf life and ads always affirm that they provide a dog long and healthy life. Instead, shelf stable food has no live enzyme which being harmful for the dog in the long run. Always look out of fresh food for your dog. Vegetables and fruits have lots of liver enzymes. Also, they are full of fiber which boosts the dog’s digestion system, which in turn encourages pooping and improves stool.

Feed It Raw

Much of the nutritional value of food is lost when we cook it. You need to ensure that your pet get the right set of nutrition like protein, fat, carbohydrate, etc. from the food it eats and that’s why it is preferred to provide raw food to the pet. Uncooked meat is the best example for that.

Keep In Mind The Weight

Feed your dog according to whether it is overweight or underweight. A strict management of eating time is required taking in consideration the weight of your dog. If it’s over-weighed feed him in the morning so it burns those calories during the day and if it’s under-weighted feed it before the bedtime and give meals the whole day in regular intervals. Calcium in form of milk should also be given to your dog.

Monitor What It Drinks

Impurified water intake can easily affect the health of your dog. Water is one major concern which many people don’t take seriously. A very close check should be given on the amount and quality of water your dog drinks. Purified water should be given to the dog to ensure its healthy living.

Age Is Not Only A Number

As the time your dog grows older, the bond becomes stronger. You would have already made a lot of life time memories with it. And now it is time to be even more responsible towards him. Special care of old dogs should be taken. Do not give them anti oxidants to slow down their Ageing process as this can have adverse affect on his health.

Don’t Go With The Hyped Flow

Looking at the tempting advertisements by the multinational companies, we become obsessed to provide our dog the food of that specific brand. But do acquire the knowledge as to what that product is for. Do not blindly go after the much hyped dog products. Study the ingredients carefully before feeding it to the dog.

Feed your dog by your hand to maintain a healthy relationship between the owner and the dog. The dog will identify you as the provider and will develop respect and love for you!
