Does Nutrition Influence Your Dogs Behavior?



Good nutrition helps bring down stress levels of the dog and also helps them develop calmer and more balanced behavior.

Just like us, your dog's diet & level of exercise will have a direct impact on their overall health & wellness - physical, mental & emotional. Along with training and exercise, always include your dogs nutritional diet as a factor in enhancing his/her behavior.

Proteins are good for boosting their energy and muscle regeneration. Studies show that aggressive behavior may be influenced by the lack of quality protein in the diet. Check the nutrition facts and look for food high in protein.

Stressed out dogs have difficulty digesting their food which may lead to a complication in the digestive system such as diarrhea. Try food that contains probiotics since it helps ease the digestive tract and contains the essential nutrients your pet needs.

There are many books and resources to learn more diet tips for your pet. One of my favorites is the "Holistic Dog Book" by Dr. Michael W. Fox. This a great resource for bringing a natural & healthy approach to your dog's care.
