Dog Health – Increasing the Energy Levels of Your Puppy the Natural Way

Chances are that your puppy has a very short attention span and is often lacking of enough energy to make it all the way through the entire day. If you are like many other good puppy owners, you have probably already taken the puppy to the vet who examines the puppy only to tell you that everything is perfectly fine, yet you still find yourself worried about the puppy’s lack of energy. Now it is your turn to help the puppy make it through the day by assisting him to having enough energy to make it all the way through the day.

While there are pet medicines which can be prescribed to do this same thing, isn’t it better to do it the natural way? In most cases the vet will not prescribe any medications unless the see any possible issues in which the medication will remedy. It is just like a human, a doctor will not prescribe you medicine if you are in good health and do not need it.

1. Assuming that you puppy is already six weeks old or more, you can attempt to reduce his feeding times to two times per day. The reason for this is it is often found that many pet owners tend to over feed their puppy in an attempt to make sure that the puppy stays healthy and has enough nutrients to grow. Too much food can resulting fatigue in the puppy. All of the energy that the body needs to make it through the day is instead wasted on the digestion of too much food.

2. Check the food labels and be sure that the food you are feeding your puppy has a complete digestibility level of at least 85% to 90%.

3. Do not buy the cheap dog food. There is an important reason for this. The cheap dog foods are made up of mostly carbohydrates which are not good for the puppy. On the other hand, the good and well-known brand names are mostly comprised of protein which is exactly what your puppy needs to grow up strong and have plenty of energy to make it through the day.

4. As far as supplements are concerned, is always smart to first check with your veterinarian. But we have a recommendation that may help your dog and that is to supplement his food with brewers yeast. Brewers yeast is chock full of B vitamins and protein.

5. Last but not least, the latest trend in supplements for both people and animals are omega-3 fatty acids. But there is good reason for this popular trend and that is because these oils are extremely healthy and are known to raise concentration levels in dogs as well as create a healthy shine on their coat. You can find omega-3 fatty acids in fish oils and flaxseed oils.

6. Instead of feeding your dog a couple large meals throughout the day, try spreading his meals up and instead give him a number of small snacks all throughout the day. Nibbling on food rather than inhaling large quantities has been proven to lower stress levels in virtually any animal and therefore is a good natural way to help relax your dog.

7. Lastly you also have Bach’s Rescue Remedy which is similar to Kava and also can be found in almost any health store. Make sure that you follow the dosage recommendations when you give this or Kava to your dog to ensure that they are not over-dosed. Once again, add this to your dog’s water bowl and sit back and relax.
