Tips For Adding Years to Your Pet's Life

Add years to your pet’s life with the following tips:

Investigate Pet Food - Use a holistic approach to a pet’s diet – This means using as much real, whole foods as possible.

• Try to avoid rendered ingredients, artificial colours/flavours or preservatives.
•  Homemade (cooked or raw) is the best choice.
•  For those not interested in preparing homemade food, frozen raw food is the next best thing.

Consider Using Pet Supplements

Supplementing your pet with Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) has many health benefits including:

• Healthy skin and coat
• Reduced inflammation that causes itching and hot spots
•  Less inflamed joints
• Healthy digestive system
• Stronger immune system

Prioritize Play and Rest

• Spare some time every day to play with your pets.
• Walk your dog once or twice a day.
• Rest-time is also very important for your pet’s overall well-being.
