\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given that National Dog Day Australia is all about encouraging responsible dog ownership, use today to think of some ways in which you can help your dog live a healthier life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get active<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe you can dedicate some extra time to exercising your four-legged friend. Physical activity will help energise both you and your dog<\/strong> and encourage you both to get fitter for summer.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Health check<\/strong><\/p>\n

When was the last time you took your pooch to the vet? Is it time they had a health check? If so, there\u2019s no time like the present to book them in for a vet check-up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nutrition<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to get into bad habits and if you find yourself eating processed foods, junk and too many takeaways, maybe your dog\u2019s diet has slipped too. Re-assess your dog\u2019s diet (and their weight<\/strong>). If they\u2019re still eating a balanced, nutritious, high-quality diet, then well done you, but if not now\u2019s an awesome time to get their eating habits (and yours) back on track.<\/p>\n

If you do anything this National Dog Day Australia, take a moment to \u2018paws\u2019 and consider all the happiness your furry friend brings you and what you can do to ensure they live as happy and healthy a life as possible.<\/p>\n
