5 Dog Health Tips

I wanted to let you know that you can avoid a number of dog health problems before they start by just observing your dog.

Take note of his behaviour, things like excessive panting, not eating the same way he usually does, drinking large amounts of water or very little water, constant scratching at the same spot or shaking of the head. These observations could be the first step in solving your dog health problem.

These signs are indicators that something could be wrong with your best friend. So what can you do? Well, let's touch on a couple of things here...

1. Your dog's nose should be wet. If it's not there could be a problem. A dog's nose is wet because of the natural inclination to lick the nose and lips. A dog has more saliva build-up than a cat for instance. If the nose is dry you should check carefully for a higher than normal temperature or other signs like going off their food or lethargy. These could all be indications of more serious underlying problems.

2. Any change in eating behaviour should be checked out thoroughly. If you are feeding kibbles or other dry dog foods then an adequate supply of water should be on hand. There are numerous dog health problems associated with commercial foods.

I personally don't agree with feeding dogs dry food. It doesn't matter which one it is. Having been involved in the manufacture of pet food, I can guarantee you that commercial dry foods are the biggest con ever perpetrated on pet owners. Yes it's convenient, but the short, medium and long term health impact on your pets is devastating. Commercial foods are linked to all sorts of dog health problems affecting the mouth, teeth, throat, gullet, stomach and colon, not to mention bones, skin and coat as well as eyesite problems.

I've found a stunning site that gives you anwers to why your dogs are dying earlier than they should, developing dog health problems and much more. They also have the answer to these problems. The guy behind the site was shocked after discovering the dreadful state of the commercial dog food industry and set out to find a solution to the problem.
