Most
of the dog owners answering this question will put on the first place good
quality food. Of course, good food with necessary vitamins, and minerals is an
important precondition for maintaining health of a dog. A lot of responsible
dog owners will be surprised to know that regular quality meals, being of
course very important, are not the main thing that keep your dog in good physical
form.
Let’s
not forget that dogs, our pets, are predators. And predators are not always lucky at a hunt. No, I do
not think that our pets should starve, for God’s sake! But feeling hunger from
time to time will cause them no harm. By the way, a lot diseases of our
pets are provoqued by overeating.
As experienced
dog owners consider that the best formula of dog’s health is the following:
good walk and biting once a week.
A
good walk doesn’t mean that your dog walk quietly on a leach. A dog should run
at least four times more than his owner walk. The dog should run and jump and fight playfully. If there is no space for
running it is possible to play with your
dog, for example with disks or balls.
Biting.
A lot of people are afraid of dogs’ aggression. However, aggression is a normal
instinct of dogs as predators. Practically
every dog irrespective of the breed becomes aggressive when protect heir food or
toy. It is possible to suppress the
aggression but it seems more effective to give the dog possibilities to drop
down the aggression. For large breed – shepherd dogs (German shepherd dogs, malinois, herders and a lot of others), dogs, Dobermans etc. - it
can be training with a decoy on a training ground, for medium and small breeds –
active games when they can bite rubber toys, for example. 
These
three components – good physical exercises, training or games that increase adrenalin
and help to drop down aggression,
quality food – will provide health and energy of your dog.
The finish of a healthy day: it seems I'll sleep this night on a mat :))
