1. Go for Long Walks
Fresh air and walking helps improve you and your dogβs health. Experts recommend humans should walk at least 30 minutes per day and the amount needed for dogs will vary by breed. So, get on the good foot and take your buddy for a nice leisurely walk today!
2. Wear Sunblock
Yes, dogs need sunblock, too! And pets with white fur are especially prone to sunburn. When spending time outdoors, remember to apply sunblock on yourself and find a good pet-safe sunblock for your fur companion, too.
3. Enjoy Home Cooked Meals & Treats
A healthy pet is one with a good diet and what better way to ensure that your pet is getting all the nutrients she needs than to whip up a few recipes in your own kitchen? Look for healthy DIY recipes online and find a few that you and your pet can enjoy together.
4. Sleep with Your Pet
A recent Mayo Clinic survey discovered that many people report getting a better nightβs sleep when they slept with a furry cuddle buddy. While this tip may not be for everybody, we know that your pet would love for you to test it out for yourself!
5. Get Rid of Household Toxins
Plants, cleaning products, aerosol sprays and more can be dangerous to your pet. Some may even make you sick over time, too! Be extra mindful about the ingredients in the everyday products you use at home and opt for those that support a healthy pet and a healthy HUMAN lifestyle.
6. Maintain a Healthy Weight
Just like humans, a healthy pet is neither underweight nor overweight. The latter is a particular problem for pets in America as studies have shown that more than half of all cats and dogs in the U.S. are overweight! Speak to your vet about the optimal weight range for your pet and how you can help her achieve and maintain the desired goal.
