We all want what is best for our pet. Yet sometimes because of your hectic schedules, we tend to put our dog’s care at the bottom of the list or it just becomes a habit of chores we perform every day without giving it much thought. We stumble out of bed in the morning, let the dog out, fill the water bowl, dump some food in the dish and go on with our daily routine. Let’s face it this can get very boring for you and especially for your dog.

In order to maintain your dog’s health there are really only three simple steps you need to follow:
1.A good diet
2.Plenty of fresh water
3.Exercise

A good diet is essential to your dog’s health. Be careful what you buy! Read the ingredients label not just the name of the dog food. An all natural dog food is what you should be looking for, not one that contains filler and by-products. Remember you get what you pay for. Although an all natural dog food may be more expensive, studies have shown that your dog will in almost all cases eat more of the “bargain brand” than the all natural, nutritious dog food. The “bargain brands” will pass through your dog more quickly because they do not contain as much of the daily nutrients your dog requires. This leads to your dog being hungrier more often and thereby eating more. Your dog will retain more of the nutrients contained in the all natural food which means they will be less hungry, have healthier coats, more energy and better overall health.

Give your dog plenty of fresh water. Change it as often as you can. A good rule to follow is that every time you get yourself something to drink, add new water to your dog’s bowl.

Exercise your dog daily. This is good for you also. Take long walks, throw a ball or stick around the backyard or park. Remember your dog’s cardiovascular system, heart and muscles need exercise just like yours.

Homemade dog treats are an excellent way to optimize your dog's health. When you make your own homemade dog treats you have the flexibility to include ingredients that will be best for your dog. For example if your dogs coat is dull or their diet is lacking in protein you could make homemade dog treats that are filled with ingredients to combat these problems.

Dogs with dull and lifeless coats can benefit immensely from homemade dog treats that are rich in fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids which are found in fish oil and flaxseed is essential to your dog's health and also helps to improve your dog's coat to create a luxurious coat that shines. If your dog does not have a coat that appears healthy it may be an indication that its dietary needs are not being met with the foods that you are providing. Creating your own homemade dog treats that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids can help you to ensure that your dog remains healthy and strong.

Homemade dog treats also provide you with the opportunity to increase your dog's protein intake. If you have reason to believe that your dog is lacking in necessary proteins, you can make your own homemade dog treats that are packed with protein. Feeding these treats to your dog should help them to meet their protein needs.
