Dog Health
It's now a well established fact that being a dog owner helps you live a longer, healthier, happier life. All the benefits of Yoga, suppleness, flexibility and muscle toning and dogs can join in too. Take your dog with you on that journey for internal peace. An excellent work out for both human and dog is a good old ‘tug-o-war’. Walking the dog should never be a chore.
Make minor diet adjustments. Changing an overweight dog’s portion size beats re-designing his whole diet plan.
A camping trip with your dog is fun and can offer lots of opportunity for exercise. If you are looking for an easy ride, but want your dog to get a work out get a Frisbee. If possible, incorporate water into the activity. If you have a lazy dog, a good way to encourage exercise is to move his toys whenever you go upstairs. Long haired breeds require frequent grooming. You will notice that your dog will only ‘shake out’ when his head gets wet.
Older dogs will benefit from a presence of fish in the diet.
For a dog health coat. Even the dog should get some factor 12 on his nose.
Water, water everywhere. It is always good for the dog to have a fresh water supply, as an over excited dog can become de-hydrated very quickly.
Regular Check ups. A great way to judge a dog health is by the state of his coat. A full, glossy coat spells a healthy, well looked after dog. Former West Ham United star John Harley is famous amongst his football pals for training with his dog. Anything athletic will or at least should, appeal to a healthy dog. This works all muscle groups. Most dogs love a good splash about, you’ll spot the ones that don’t.
