Holistic Care

Complete healthy care of the “whole dog”

The 3 key guidelines + a bonus tip to insure success

1.Daily Exercise: “The Magic Pill”

Dogs need daily exercise in the fresh outdoors. This is imperative to developing and raising the healthiest dog possible.

Daily Exercise:

o The fastest way to calm problematic situations down.
o Provides a healthy release of penned up energy.
o Prevents most unwanted behavioral problems!
o Keeps our friends physically fit and healthy.
o Builds an unbreakable bond through fun play.

2.Dog Training

Open communication & trust are always key elements to any great relationship. Dog training is all about:

• Opening mutual communication!
• Mental challenges!
• Enjoying fun achievements together!

Every moment a person devotes to teaching their dog new skills. They are building a bond and understanding that can’t be matched.

3.Healthy Dog Food

Our dog’s bodies feel their best when they are being fueled with all natural goodness.

o Avoid chemical preservatives. Such as BHA or BTA. Seek out natural preservatives. Such as Vitamin E.

o Avoid By-Products.
Seek out healthy protein. Such as Chicken or Chicken Meal, Lamb or Lamb meal etc.

o Don’t over feed. This leads to serious health conditions.
Do monitor food intake. We should be able to feel our dog’s ribs while they are standing. If we lose touch of a rib, our dog needs to exercise more or eat differently.

Bonus Tip:
Lots of Love, Patience & Understanding

We must always remember to view the situation through our dogs’ eyes. Take every situation with a thorough understanding of what your dog is experiencing. This is a gateway into becoming inseparable sole mates. Both soles contribute 100% to the others understanding.
