We all love our dogs and the last thing we want is for them to be ill. Dogs need proper care and attention to their health and entirely depend on pup parents for survival.
Dogs’ immune response to all sorts of infections and help to fight bacteria, viruses, and internal toxins.
Dog Immune System Boost Tips
Healthy Diet
A diet full of nutrients is essential to maintaining your dog’s immune system. Especially antioxidants play a major role in maintaining your pet’s health. Antioxidants are vitamins and minerals in foods that counteract free radicals and stop their damage to cells.
Antioxidants are easily available in many common foods such as berries, fruits, and vegetables. It’s also important to be aware of toxic foods for your dogs.
Exercise
Your dog needs exercise to be their happiest and healthiest selves.
Exercising keeps dogs healthier while reducing behavioural problems such as excessive licking, barking, chewing, digging, and other anxiety-related behaviours.
When choosing a dog breed, it’s important to remember that their breed determines their body type and energy level.
Hydration
Breathing, defecating, urinating and evaporation through the paws all contribute to normal water loss, which your dog compensates for by eating and drinking.
Lack of water intake can cause dehydration. Make sure to leave out enough water for your dogs
Keep your dog clean
Keeping proper hygiene is the number one factor in boosting a dog’s immune system. Dogs sniff and lick everything. Washing your dog regularly cuts down the number of bacteria.
