Posted by Thomas Riendeau on March 12th, 2019

  We are nearing the mid-2019, and the timeframe for the actualization of our 2019 resolution is fast fading away.  This is the best time to reflect what we have achieved so far and what were are yet to implement or was missed out in our resolutions’ list. As we do this, we should not forget our four-legged friends who always stick with us at all times whenever needed.   We should also have plans for them, and the most important of all is enhancing their health and wellbeing at all times. In this regard, I would like to share five ways in which you can improve the health of your dog to ensure it is free from diseases and other medical-related conditions.

Have Daily Walks With Your Dog

Having a scheduled daily or weekly walk with your dog is highly crucial, and you can bet who else will benefit from this.  This practice will ensure your dog is healthy both mentally and physically which of course is important for the whole body.

Introduce A Schedule For Your Dog

Having a schedule for your dog will enable it to understand what to expect and at what time.  This plan will enhance consistency and boost the understanding of your dog in case you are training it to adapt to certain patterns. Having a scheduled meal time is also important especially to its digestive system

Maintain Annual Veterinary Checkup

Dogs are prone to various medical conditions some of which may fail to show up physically and they would require some tests to be carried out for them to be identified.  Therefore, taking your dog for annual health assessment is important to ensure some health conditions are identified and treated in advance.

Stimulate The Brain Of Your Dog

Dogs that lack mental stimulation have been shown to have awkward behavior such as leaking of household items.  Therefore, it is always prudent to stimulate the brain of your dog by engaging it various provoking activities such as playing with a ball or engaging it with some sort of tricky games. This should be done every week so that your dog's brain can mature and grow faster.

Make The Appropriate Changes To The Diet

The food you give to your dog highly determines its quality of life as well as the longevity of that life. Therefore, as you make your choice on the commercial food to buy, you should keep in mind that few manufacturers have the health of your dog in mind while making their foods. Some will make the foods with the main focus being on palatability instead of nutrition.  Therefore it is good to make use of dogproductpicker.com to guide you on the best products for your dog.
