We all love our dogs. There’s simply no better way to complete a household than to bring a friendly pooch into the fold. Having one around, if they’re trained and looked after well, is akin to keeping a love heater in your home. Every time you need a cuddle at the end of a long, hard, stressful workday, they will be there to help melt your stress away. Dogs are not only man’s best friends, but they’re arguably man’s best stress reliever.
For this reason, it’s likely that you want to look after your prestigious pet with the best care you can muster. This is luckily easier than ever, as many excellent products are available for you to purchase and gift your pooch, helping them stay healthy and happy well into old age. We’d like to suggest the following, no matter the age or health condition of your dog:
Orthopedic Mats
We all want to provide our dogs with somewhere safe, clean and relaxing for them to sleep. If you allow your dog to sleep with you on the bed, then it’s worth acquiring one of these as well, as that is an incredibly unhygienic practice. Allowing your dog their sleeping space helps foster in them a sense of independence, as well as providing them with the knowledge that that area is meant for sleep. Regularly scheduling a place like this will help them understand when they’re being put to bed.
Keeping a regular sleep schedule is important for a dog’s health, especially if you keep irregular sleeping hours. In the pursuit to find a dog mat, you’re arguably going to look for the biggest, best and most comfortable bedding you can. However, why not try an alternate option? An orthopedic and cooling dog bed can allow your pooch to maintain healthy sleep position and support, and due to their firm nature are often quite easy to clean and maintain. If your dog has skeletal issues, this could be one of the best and most natural remedies for them to help facilitate sleep. Just be sure to check with your veterinarian if your pooch has experienced any ill health circumstances lately.
Dental Snacks
Many manufacturers of dog food have tapped into the dental hygiene market, providing purchasable snacks and chewable edibles which also help clean the gums and teeth of your dog. The way this works is by providing a hard yet fibrous chew which the dog has to work all of their teeth into chewing and breaking up. For this reason, it can help prevent plaque buildup on top of your normal doggy teeth brushing schedule (which is worth implementing if you haven’t already.) Using a starchy product to help clean the teeth may not sound like it works, but you’d be surprised at how clean and white the doggy teeth become as a result.
As well as these products, making sure that you take your dog for plenty of walks, feed it the correct proportion of food depending on their breed and weight, as well as giving the most nourishing resource (love and time) can help a pooch stay happy and healthy for all their years.
