Suggestions To Promote Healthy Pets




The dog foods made by Fromm : This brand is not available in grocery stores or large outlet centers and can only be found at pet specialty stores. This is a holistic brand of dog food that promotes healthy digestion and if you choose the hard food, it helps keep their teeth strong. When choosing the flavor, switch up the protein selection (duck, chicken, salmon, etc.) so that your puppy or dog is getting a variety of proteins. I would also recommend Healthy Edibles chews, dog treats, and dog bones by Nylabone. These are all natural dog products that help satisfy your dogs chewing needs, come in a variety of flavors, and are inexpensive. I would also recommend The Blue Buffalo Co. treats from training and rewards. This is the same brand as the cat food one I had mentioned earlier and offers the same benefits to dogs. Brushing your dog's teeth is also very important and should be done everyday to help reduce the chances of different mouth diseases and bad breath. I would recommend brushing their teeth at least twice a week using a toothbrush and doggie toothpaste. The healthy bones and different chew toys also help promote good dental hygiene. The last item I would recommend is a deer antler (no specific brand). These last a very long time, are more durable than bones, are very unlikely to splinter or chip, they have beneficial nutrients, and are odor and stain free.
  
 The cat foods made by The Blue Buffalo Co: This is a holistic brand of cat food that does not have any chicken or poultry by-product meals, no artificial preservatives, no artificial flavors, and it does not have any corn, wheat, or soy. I would also recommend Greenies dental cat treats. Dental health is very important in cats and it can be very painful and difficult for your pet if they develop gingivitis. On top of the dental treats, you want to try to brush your cat's teeth everyday with a small toothbrush and kitty toothpaste; all of which can be found at Petsmart or other pet stores for relatively low costs.
