Dog health begins with a healthy lifestyle

You are what you eat and your dog is no exception. Dog health depends largely on what kind of dog food you are buying or cooking for your pet. Is her dog food free of preservatives, chemicals and made with 100% natural ingredients? Is she on the raw food diet? This is what you want to achieve if you're not there yet.

Be sure to get veterinary advice regarding the optimal weight for your dog. An overweight animal will put extra stress on her joints and this can lead to canine arthritis. She will also be more prone to diabetes and heart disease. Choose pet treats wisely. There are excellent natural dog bones and chews as well as delicious training treats, but, careful not to overindulge.

As for exercise, dog health depends upon it. While there are dog breeds that require less exercise like those generally found in the Toy Group, know your pooch and what its exercise requirements are. Just like people, activity will keep your dog fit and at her optimal weight. She will than be more resistant to dog diseases and dog illnesses. Treat your dog's body with respect, and remember, garbage in, garbage out!
