New Years Dog Treats
Healthy Food Choices: This means eating foods without a lot of preservatives, fillers and artificial colors and flavor. Dog owners would not feel well if they ate an overly processed diet. Dog food differs, read the labels to be sure you are feeding your dog well balanced and nutritious meals. For example, Merrick and Solid Gold dog treats contain all natural and holistic ingredients and do not contain any chemical preservatives.
- Help Others: Dog s can brighten a human’s day. Visiting the elderly, walking your apprehensive child to the bus stop & waiting anxiously for the bus to arrive … dogs have many comforting attributes that can aid the community.
- Learn a New Trick: If your dog has mastered sit & stay, how about a new trick, like run upstairs and get my slippers. Even adult dogs can learn new tricks. A dog training class or a dog owner with a bag of dog treats might accomplish a new dog trick. Dog Brick Interactive Game Dog Toy is a great way to stimulate your dogs learning skills. The Dog Brick game requires a dog to first dislodge the removable bones, then to push the sliding covers and access hidden treats. The level of difficulty for the Brick can be varied, depending upon the dog’s experience and his enthusiasm for the game … and you thought Sudoku strengthened the mind!
- Exercise: Some dogs love to run and chase balls, but don’t always have the opportunity, especially during the winter months. Dog parks are open year round. Bundle up, grab a ball and get some dog socialization at the dog park. Smaller dogs can benefit from a daily walk. This is also a great way for a dog owner to stay fit!
- Quality Time: Most dogs are known for their Love and Loyalty. Hugs, a good belly rub and endearing words validate your adoring relationship.
- Role Model: Clean up after your dog. This includes picking up dog poop at the dog park, on walks and in your backyard too. A responsible dog owner respects our environment.
- Read: Knowledge is power! Sometimes reading aloud to someone who loves the sound of your voice encourages the reader to do better in school.
- Be Happier: Engage in activities that make you smile. Spend time doing something that makes you feel good about yourself. Does watching your dog’s tail wag or listening to your dog squeal with delight when you call their name make you feel awesome?
- Sleep: Who knows more about sleep than your dog? Dogs recognize the need for resting your weary bones. A nap does wonders to catch a second wind before settling down for a good 8 hours each night.
- Play: Play is essential to well being. Don’t take everything so seriously and remember what your priorities are and what is trivial!
