Good health starts on the inside

FOOD, CHEWS AND TREATS

I think most of us know that what goes into our pets effects their health. It used to be a simple affair to feed our furry friends. Gone are those days. With so many options and opinions it can be overwhelming to make a decision about doggy diet.  I feed my dogs with a high quality kibble made by Nature’s Logic. They also eat eggs and cheese on occasion . They have healthy shiny coats, bright happy eyes and good energy. I truly want my little guys to live long healthy lives, so I try to make good choices. A good quality wet food would be a good choice as well.
​  Here is link that will give you basic information on the different options available to you.

These are healthy treats
Doggy treats and chews also have the potential to add or take away from your companion's health. Himalayan dog chews are a great choice. All three of my Havanese love these and are happy and busy for hours when I let them indulge. They are long lasting, all natural, and fairly affordable. Here is a link.

Freeze dried treats

Havanese are more then happy to do whatever you ask for the tiniest little treat. I use freeze dried liver or salmon. They absolutely love to get treats and will do any trick they know, even for just a crumb! These are very healthy. I will usually cut the treats in half to make them last longer. Depending on the brand the pieces can be large.


FLEA MEDICATION
Fleas and ticks are definitely unwanted and should be controlled for the well being of everyone involved (minus the flea). I have grave reservations about using poison chemicals on my pets. I have a hunch they are causing a host of health issues for our animals. However I understand that fleas need to be controlled. I have used Revolution in the thick of the flea season, but I don't like it and am on the search for something better. However Revolution claims to be one of the safer products. Consider the long term health of your Havanese and make an informed decision on how to handle fleas.Here is a link to a web site that gives short easy to understand information on every product used in the battle against these tiny little beasts.
