subject: Water Is An Essential Ingredient To Keep A Dog Healthy [print this page] Whether you own a puppy or an adult dog, an essential part of their diet is lots of water.
Fresh water and a quality pet diet contribute to a dog's overall health. Animals including dogs and cats need meat and vegetables in the correct proportions, but they can not be in good health without a continuous supply of fresh water to drink.
Puppies may make mistakes overnight and leave a puddle, as sometimes owners picking up bowls of water at night will make a puppy stressed. It's likely that he won't stop from watering your floor or carpet until he his older and can control his bladder.
We may tend to take water for granted sometimes, but all diets including a pet diet advocate the importance of quality ingredients, plenty of exercise and to drink as much water as possible to stay hydrated and flush toxins, leaving the body feeling happy and in good order.
Good quality dog food is required for essential dog nutrition. Water drunk on a regular basis can help regulate bodily functions for a dog and a cat, and both they and humans can last longer without food rather than water.
It may appear somewhat worrying when you read a dog food label and it states an amount of fats as an essential ingredient.
Fats, or essential fatty acids, are needed to give a dog energy and allow him to enjoy being an active canine. Good dog nutrition welcomes a certain amount of fatty acids in the correct portion of balanced dog food as they are responsible for supplying dogs with high levels of energy - far more than proteins and carbohydrates.
At Hills Pets our range of Science Plan dog food is full of quality ingredients including essential fats to keep a dog in good health.
