Natural Pet Health – Four things you can do to keep your pet healthy naturally

Natural health for pets is a topic that interests me greatly. From what I have read so far, I can tell you that when you understand what is good and what is bad for your pet's health, it becomes much easier to prevent pet problems.

Like human health, natural pet health is all about four important factors – food, water, exercise and supplements. Let me explain.

Eat

Not all dog, cat or other pet foods have the proper certification. The AAFCO certification body actually has two levels of certification. Make sure foods are labeled as “tested and found appropriate,” as opposed to a lower standard that says “formulated to meet AAFCO standards. If a dog is healthy, foods that meet these criteria are fine, regardless of cost.

If a dog, cat, or other pet is allergic or hypersensitive, attention should be paid to fillers, artificial flavors, and whether or not a food is organic. Be careful when choosing a homemade diet as it must be properly balanced with the 40 required components. Remember that dogs only eat one food each day, unlike humans who eat their way through many types of food. The foods you choose must provide all the necessary nutrients.

Water

Dogs need constant access to clean, uncontaminated water. If you think your tap water isn't optimal, give your dog the same filtered water you drink. Water consumption and resulting urination help keep the bladder and urinary system free of bacteria and stone-causing crystals. More water means more urination. Taking your dog for an extra walk every day will also result in extra urination.

Exercise

Studies show that pets that are active are less likely to develop health problems than pets that are inactive. Lack of exercise can weaken your pet's limbs and significantly impair metabolism. In the long term, this can lead to a range of physical and mental health problems.

Physical exercise plays a very important role in the natural health of pets. Play with your pet every day, take him for a walk, get some toys, or get another pet as a companion.

Dietary supplements

Due to lifestyle factors, domesticated animals may not be nearly as strong as their counterparts in the wild. Additionally, pets that are domesticated do not have the opportunity to obtain essential minerals and antioxidants they need from the food they eat. A good nutritional supplement that supports the immune system may be of value. This would provide a potential safety net, just as a person takes a vitamin for additional support. Even if it's not necessary, in most cases it can't hurt.

Dogs with health problems are often provided with nutritional supplements. During recovery, it supports the pet's physiology and will potentially help reduce the severity of symptoms. When a pet is sick and no treatment is prescribed, it can contribute to a higher quality of life.
