Are you a dog parent? Then you are at the right place. We are going to talk about how to improve the quality of your four-legged friend’s life. They love us, hoomans, and we love them doggos too. And this relationship of care makes us want to give them a dog healthy life.
No one’s saying it will be a walk in the park, but maybe a walk in a dog park where there are pups running around, some playing, some fighting, some chasing a squirrel, some throwing a tantrum because they don’t want to leave. In other words, chaotic. But pleasantly chaotic.
There are some tips that can help you in achieving your goal of providing them with a better life. First, let’s go over them.
- Give your dog high-quality food and treats
- Keep a track of your dog’s weight
- Take your doggo for check-ups regularly
- Prioritize training
- Provide them with lots of care
- Give them enough attention
Now, we will take a look at some of the most important tips for a healthier and happier dog.
1. Feed your dog high-quality food
Like humans, dogs also need a balanced diet, made of high-quality food. From a shiny coat to a strong immune system, anything can be achieved by the right food.
You should consult your vet for the specific nutritional needs of your fur baby. However, following is a general guide when it comes to your dog’s diet.
- Appropriate for your dog’s developmental stage
- Balance of meat, grain, vegetable, and fruit-derived ingredients
- Foods with a species-identified meat (deboned salmon vs. “fish”) as the first ingredient
- Organic ingredients when possible
- Whole fruits and vegetables high on the ingredient list
Treats should be of high-quality too. our training treats to see if they fit this description:

2. Monitor your dog’s weight
Obesity is harmful for humans, as well as animals including dogs. As found out by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 54% of dogs in the United States are overweight or obese. You probably already know that pbesity can cause a lot of serious health issues including but not limited to arthritis, urinary tract disease, liver disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, and more.
One of the most common reasons behind obesity is the lack of awareness in dog parents. We don’t know the healthy weight for our dog, or how to achieve and maintain it. Your vet can guide you about the healthy weight range as per your dog’s breed and age.
Regularly checking their weight can help you in ensuring that your doggo has not gained weight. You can do it yourself or you can take them to their vet for a weigh-in.
3. Take your dog in for regular check-ups at the vet
We all know how much of responsibility regular check-ups are, be it for our own selves or our dogs. But those are immensely important. The vet isn’t there just for whenever something is wrong. They are there to make sure your pup is healthy.
If you don’t skip on regular checks, you are more likely to get any underlying issue or any problem at its initial stage, diagnosed. The sooner you start the treatment for a medical condition, the better.
