12 Simple Ways to Have a Safer and Healthier 2022 With Your Dog

  1. Upgrade your dog’s dinner. Ask your veterinarian if your dog’s longtime diet is still the best option.

  2. Schedule your dog’s annual veterinary visit. Vets are booked up, so schedule your dog’s next exam now.

  3. Make a 2022 bucket list of fun. Calendar the adventures you’ll have with your dog this year.

  4. Learn something new together. Pull-free walks? Scentwork? Finding Calm? There are so many options.

  5. Give your dog a monthly massage. A head-to-toe rubdown can help find hidden lumps, cuts, or broken nails. It can also contribute to increasing the bond between you.

  6. Get out and go hiking. You’ll be side-by-side with your bestie all day and if you feel real ambitious make it an overnight camping trip!

  7. Set a morning or evening exercise routine together. Even a simple walk twice a day can really make a big difference to your dog. Plus, it’s daily bonding time!

  8. Upgrade your dog’s treats. Snack calories can also be nutritious, investigate better options so you’re not feeding them the equivalent of a snickers bar every time.

  9. Put out an extra water bowl. Dogs need an ounce of fluid per lb. of weight, daily. They really should have access to water at all times.

  10. Weigh your dog. A weight change can be a health “head’s up!”

  11. Get flea/tick treatment on the calendar. Don’t forget the date….You know what they say, an ounce of prevention…

  12. Check your dog’s collar and harness. Make sure it’s not too tight, loose, or worn.
