Keeping Our Dogs Healthy
Reading all the articles about dogs dying and getting sick from jerky treats made in China got me to thinking what I can do for
Magnet and Muffy to keep them as healthy as possible. We all know that keeping our dogs as active
as possible makes them happy and healthy dogs!
It keeps us just as happy and healthy too! But we need to do more to keep our cherished
friends happy and healthy.
When I was growing up you played with your dog, walked your dog, fed
your dog, and when you felts something was wrong you brought your dog to the
vet. Now we have to be a lot more
proactive, and as I research more about dog care, see comments on Instagram, and
talk with other dog owners I see there is so much more to it!
Make sure to clean your dog’s food bowl after every feeding. Even if
you feed your dog a straight dry food diet (like we do, though they sure get
enough meat scarps from the table, that’s another story for another time! LOL)
you need to clean that bowl and don’t forget the water bowl too! Brushing your dog’s teeth is essential as is giving your dog the right kind of
dog treats and bones! They will help keep their
teeth and breath clean! All essential for a dog’s
health.
Make sure to schedule your dog for a vet visit a least once a
year. Just like us they need their
yearly checkups! Keep a list of shots
and when they need them updated. If you
live in an area where lyme disease is a problem don’t forget their shots, and
keep up with their heart worm medicine. Dog supplements are a great thing too, and are being recommended more and more by
vets. Our dogs are beloved family
members, like children. They need the same attention!
