4 Signs Your Dog Is Stressed or Sad—and What to Do about It
1. Meat
"Meat should be the first ingredient," says Morgan. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they need meat to survive, and while dogs are technically omnivores that can survive on plant-based diets, they don't necessarily thrive on them, she says. She prefers organ meat such as heart or liver because it's more nutritionally dense.

"Fresh meat has the amino acids, vitamins and minerals your pet needs, and is most digestible," says Bernal. But because it is mostly water, many formulas also include some kind of dehydrated protein, such as turkey or chicken meal, to pump up the protein.

2. Quality carbs
Carbohydrates are as hotly debated a topic for pets as for people, says Bernal. The natural food category grew so quickly, in part because of grain-free foods. But unless your pet has a true allergy or sensitivity, some carbs are OK. She recommends that no more than 30% of the food's total calories come from carbs, and they should be things like oats, pumpkin, sweet potato, leafy greens, apples, blueberry or papaya. Morgan looks for organic or non-GMO vegetable matter.

3. Healthy fats
The right fats help promote healthy skin and a shiny coat and may help prevent the chronic inflammation associated with various diseases, says Bernal. Omega-3 fatty acids are one kind, and you can find them in things like fish or flaxseed oil, olive oil and egg yolks. For packaged foods, Bernal advises looking for the guaranteed analysis on the label, which ensures ingredients are present in a large-enough quantity to matter.

4. Probiotics
Research indicates that pets have colonies of healthy bacteria in their digestive tract just as humans do, and may benefit from probiotics, foods that help maintain that balance and variety of microorganisms. You can look for specific bacterial strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus or Bifidobacterium lactis. The tricky thing about probiotics, says Bernal, is that they need certain temperatures and other conditions to stay alive.

It is generally recommended to bathe a dog every one to three months, depending on the breed and individual needs. However, some dogs may require more frequent bathing if they get particularly dirty or smelly, or if they have certain skin conditions that require more frequent grooming.

Here are a few things to consider when determining how often to bathe your dog:

Breed: Some breeds, such as poodles and bichon frises, may require more frequent bathing due to their thick, curly coats.

Coat type: Dogs with longer, thicker coats may require more frequent bathing to keep their fur

What you dog need to eat?
It is important to provide a balanced diet for your dog that meets their specific nutritional needs. The best diet for a dog will depend on their age, size, breed, and activity level, as well as any health conditions they may have. In general, a good diet for a dog should include:

High-quality protein sources, such as meat, poultry, or fish
Essential fatty acids, such as those found in fish oil
Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and vegetables
Adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals
It is generally recommended to feed your dog a diet that consists primarily of whole, unprocessed foods. Avoid giving your dog table scraps or unhealthy treats, as these can contribute to obesity and other health problems. Consult with your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations for your dog„

Why you need dog ?
Dogs are descendants of wolves and have been domesticated for thousands of years. They are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and ability to be trained.

There are hundreds of different breeds of dogs, each with their own unique characteristics and traits. Some popular breeds include retrievers, poodles, pit bulls, and terriers.

Dogs have an excellent sense of smell and can be trained to detect drugs, explosives, and even cancer. They are also often used as assistance dogs for people with disabilities.

Dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. This can include walks, runs, fetch, and other activities.

It is important to provide proper care for your dog, including regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and plenty of love and attention.
