Dogs of different breeds/types will mature from puppyhood to adulthood at a different rate. Regardless of size and age, as dogs transition into their adult years, maintaining their health is still a top priority. A balanced diet helps support vitality, fitness, and overall wellness.
Just as humans have evolving dietary requirements, our furry friends also have distinct nutritional needs as they grow from adorable puppies to mature adults. In this blog, we will focus on the nutritional requirements of puppies as they embark on their journey from playful pups to healthy adults.
It's important to watch out for signs of constipation in your dog. Straining to poop, passing small, dry stools, and displaying discomfort while attempting to defecate are common indicators. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to take action and seek out veterinary advice.
Seeing your furry companion suffer from excessive soft stool or diarrhea can be distressing. Diarrhea in dogs is a common ailment that can be caused by various factors. If your dog experiences diarrhea, there are things that you can do to help alleviate their discomfort and support their recovery, including hydration, feeding and veterinary attention.
Even with the utmost care, some dogs experience persistent itching, leading to discomfort and frustration for both pets and their owners. One potentially significant contributor can be your dog's diet. Fortunately, there's a solution that might surprise you – a plant-based diet! Switching your canine companion to a plant-based diet can potentially alleviate itchy skin and promote overall well-being.
Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for our furry companions' overall well-being. If you've chosen a plant-based diet for your dog, you might wonder how to manage their weight effectively. With the right approach, you can help your pet maintain a healthy weight while enjoying the benefits of a balanced and complete plant-based diet.
As more pet owners embrace plant-based diets for ethical and health reasons, it's essential to ensure that our furry companions receive all the necessary nutrients for optimal health. Here's a focus on a couple key ingredients and some creative (and yummy) ways to make mealtime more exciting using Vivus Pets' treats.
For some dogs, such as those with very small or sensitive mouths, or those with pain from tooth or jaw conditions, these hard chews may not be suitable. Thankfully, Vivus has soft chewable dental supplements so healthcare for these dogs is not left behind!
Glucosamine and chondroitin are two complementary nutrients found ubiquitously in joint supplements. Both nutrients are typically derived from animal products, and as such run the risk of causing allergic responses in sensitized individuals. However, plant-based alternatives are available!
