Keep your pooch healthy and happy with the good gut guide
Digestive health is such an important part of your pet’s overall health. But in certain cases pet-parents don’t pay attention to their pet’s proper nutrition which can cause long term health issues. It is true that health starts from within, so today we discuss what impacts the digestive health in dogs.
What impacts the digestive health of your pooch?
Like you are cautious about what you eat and always check the labels and food quality, the same should be done when you are buying any food or treats for your pet. Some of the main factors that impact the digestive health in dogs are –
– Rooting for good raw material always
This is a major factor especially for packaged food and treats. A lot of companies use sub-standard raw materials to make their products more affordable. But as a responsible pet-parent you should never make any compromise with your pet’s nutrition. Make sure you read the label for any pet food or dog biscuits to know about its composition and ingredients.
TrueBix is an upcoming dog biscuit brand in India that’s one of a kind. It is known for its premium quality products and delectable taste which your pets will love.
– Water – the elixir of life
Hydration is the key to a locked digestive system. If your pet is dehydrated it can have adverse effects on his/ her health. Make sure you provide clean drinking water to your pet at all times. Clean the water bowl regularly. Usually dogs should drink one ounce of water for every pound. Active puppies and pregnant dogs may need a little more water intake. It is best to ask your vet about the quantity of water.
Reminder – Go sip some water and change the water in your pet’s water bowl as well.
– Hail overall health
If your pet is injured, has a chronic illness, or is a senior dog, then you need to take extra care of their daily nutrition. General wellbeing is primarily based on the food that your pet eats. So make sure he/ she isn’t allergic to a particular ingredient. If your pet has any allergy like gluten, lactose, or any other, you can ask your vet to recommend a nutritious diet with a balance of home-cooked meals and packaged food.
In a lot of cases, vets recommend dietary supplements based on individual needs to bridge the gap between your pet’s daily diet and nutritional requirements.
– Human foods are a no-no
As much as they try to convince you with their puppy eyes and sweet face, do not fall in that trap. One of the major reasons for obesity (and its related problems) in dogs is table scraps. Dogs’ digestive system is different to that of humans and they cannot digest certain foods. Giving human foods to dogs with excess sugar, salt, or deep fried foods will only cause your beloved pet health problems.
Certain foods like – chocolate, garlic, grapes, and raisins can prove to be fatal even if given in small quantity to your pet. So be careful!
