People are always looking for new ways to “survive and thrive.” From exercising to supplementing to dieting, there is a constant desire to become a better version of ourselves. As we try to live life to the fullest, we must help our pets do the same. Unfortunately, many pet owners only care for their dogs with minimal responsibility. If you want your pet to live a full life, there are important steps that you can take to promote their longevity and health. In this article, we will share six ways to focus on your pet’s health and help your dog live their best life.

1. Frequent exercise

Whether your animal is large or small, it needs frequent exercise sessions to improve strength, increase endurance, and produce energy. A lackadaisical attitude regarding your pet’s health can cause animals to develop joint pain or obesity.

2. Regular vet visits

Although going to the vet may seem tedious or expensive, it is important to work with a trusted specialist to ensure your pet stays in optimal health. These individuals get to know your pet so that they can recognize if any changes occur in their physique or demeanor. Veterinarians are trained to monitor health and offer options to improve your pet’s life.

3. Purchase heart-healthy food

Unfortunately, the cheapest dog food brand at the grocery store is often not the healthiest option. Animals need to consume foods created with healthy carbohydrates, lean proteins, and minimal amounts of added chemicals. If the food that they are consuming is not healthy, it may lead to heart issues in the future. Ask your veterinarian if they have any suggestions for food brands that will best accommodate your pet’s needs.

4. Supplement with CBD

Did you know that brands like Hand and Paw create CBD products for animals? CBD benefits animals the same way that it benefits individuals, in that it helps reduce the chance of developing arthritis, cancer, chronic pain, or anxiety. When dogs supplement with CBD, they often can exercise more freely and interact more eagerly.

5. Make time to socialize

Dogs need to be socialized with other pets. When socialized properly, dogs are less likely to have aggressive tendencies. This also allows dogs to expend some of their physical energy while learning social cues from the animals around them. 

6. Practice regular training exercises

While it is difficult to continue training animals throughout their life, it is important. At a young age, puppies should understand common rules and directions. Later in life, more advanced training practices will help your pet stay sharp physically and mentally.

Promote your pet’s health

There are many ways that you can support your pet’s health. When you invest in your animal’s well-being, you are more likely to enjoy a long life with them. Through supplementation, exercise, and healthy eating, you can help extend the life of your dog.
