Dog Health and Nutrition Consultations

Dog Health

Your Role In The Health
And Nutrition Of Your Dog

Help your dog be healthy and feel great. They will love you longer because they will live longer. Since dogs aren't able to go to the store to buy their food, their health depends on you.

Like people, we all have different health needs and it is important to find what works best for your dog. There are so many foods on the market and it can get confusing. If you need help finding what works best Misty Pines is happy to help you.

It is your responsibility as a dog owner to provide your dog with proper nutrition. Allow them the chance to live most optimally. Feed them nutritious ingredients not artificial ingredients, animal by-products, or indigestible fillers. Look at the ingredients of your dog's food. Choose by ingredients not by what the bag claims or if it looks "yummy" from the picture on the bag! The point of food is to provide your dog with the healthy nutrients they need to live, not just to fill their stomachs. You are what you eat, same goes for your dog.

The common concern is...its more expensive. Is it really? Generally, you don't have to feed your dog as much with a higher quality food. This is because your dog is actually absorbing and using what you are putting into their body. When they absorb more then less comes out of them, which means less poop for you to deal with. Also, a more healthy food means less visits to your veterinarian. Simple health issues can be eliminated when feeding a higher quality food. Ear infections, skin problems, hyper behavior, allergies, basic immune system and even diseases like cancer can all be prevented.

Remember, Misty Pines Dog Park Company is the complete pet company that loves the company of people and pets. We strive to help you provide a happy and healthy relationship with your dog. Please let us know how we can help.
