| | Study Finds Shelter Dogs Are Less Stressed with Roommates | If you've ever been to an animal shelter, you know what a stressful environment it can be - even for humans. It's often loud, chaotic, and overwhelming. However, a recent study may have found a simple solution. | The study showed that dogs living with a companion in shelters experience much less stress than those left solo in their kennels. These "roommates" help pups feel less anxious and more social. | Researchers at the Humane Society of Western Montana paired up some dogs and kept others alone to observe their behavior. The results? The dogs with roommates showed fewer signs of stress, like lip-licking or whining, and were adopted on average four days sooner than their solo counterparts. | Dogs, being the social creatures they are, thrive with companionship. And just like us, a buddy can help reduce anxiety and bring some much-needed comfort in tough situations. For shelters, this study suggests that pairing up dogs could improve their quality of life and speed up adoptions — a total win-win! | So next time you visit a shelter, keep this in mind! Especially with pups that are housed by themselves- they may just need a friend to let their true personality shine. | | | Tips for Creating a Diet Plan to Enhance Your Dog's Life | Choosing the right food for your pup can be tricky. With so many options out there it can be difficult to navigate. Here are some easy tips for creating a diet plan fit for your pup: | Talk to Your Vet: Before you make any changes, it's always a good idea to check with your vet. They can recommend the right food and portion sizes based on your dog's breed, age, and health needs. | Go for Quality Ingredients: Look for dog food where real protein (like chicken, beef, or fish) is the first ingredient. Your dog needs good protein to keep them strong and healthy. | Add Some Variety: Mix it up with dog-safe fruits and veggies. Carrots, blueberries, and green beans can add fiber and antioxidants. Just be sure to stay away from foods that are toxic to dogs, like onions and grapes. | Special Diets for Special Needs: If your dog has allergies or joint issues, consider adding omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for reducing inflammation. Your vet can guide you on the best supplements. | Mind the Portions: Overfeeding is a common mistake. Make sure to measure your dog's food based on their activity level and size. And try not to share too many table scraps! | By following these tips, you'll be setting your dog up for a healthier, happier life. A balanced diet can make all the difference in their energy levels and overall well-being. | | | Do You Know What's in Your Dog's Bowl? | We all want the best for our dogs, starting with what's in their bowl.
