A Healthy Pet

A healthy pet is a happy pet.

We all would love to have our beloved pet around for a very long time, 20 years to be exact and not dying at the young ages of between 10 to 15 years. But the only way is you have to feed your pet the best nutrition.

Most people do not even think about nutrition; all they think about is cost. The bigger the bag the better. But not giving them the nutrition is a huge mistake as it will show up in their gums; not the healthy pink, but pale gums, listless, dull fur and lastly in their later years other health issues will pop up and the tests from the vet can be extremely costly and those tests can show other ailments too.
Some of those ailments might not be reversible and that is a shame and if you had started them right in the beginning, you would probably not be in this predicament.

My Miniature Schnauzer puppy has been on supplements for her fur and has had the nutrition since she was 10 weeks and now she is a healthy 15 month old dog. So my suggestion is to feed them the nutrition their body needs to eliminate those very serious problems.

So as you go to the pet store, you must read the labels and if the main ingredient is not meat, don't buy it. Vitamins are important to you, so why not your dog?

Pure water, not the usual tap water with chlorine, and keeping fresh water at all times is a must. Taking your dog to the groomer is a huge plus, as a bath and a brushing is great for their skin, especially in the summer. Lots of loving is important but not the most important. A vet checkup is always important and that visit can either make or break your pocketbook.
