Holistic Health
A true holistic approach is all about balance and considering the requirements of the entire dog. A holistic lifestyle must address both the environment and social wellbeing of the animal as well as wholesome nutrition.
Rather than focusing on illness or on specific parts of the body, a holistic approach considers the whole being and how they interact with their environment. It is based on the law of nature that a whole is made up of interdependent parts.
In order to provide optimum health it is vital to ensure the body is supplied with the correct amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamins and water. Nutrition is one of the key factors to attaining optimum health and wellbeing. It is a natural occurance for the body to be in a good state of health. The onset of disease or chronic illness is as a result of the failure of the body’s healing process. Rather than the illness being treated as an isolated incident it is a symptom of a bigger problem.
A holistic diet is one that supports the entire animal by providing natural nutrition to support the internal biological system. The body will essentially look after itself if it is allowed to do so. The purer the food, the better the digestion resulting in greater nutrient absorption and a healthier animal. A diet free from artificial additives, chemicals, derivatives, by-products and any unnatural substances will help maintain a healthy state. Natural ingredients will provide natural nutrition and will assist in the ongoing normal function of the body. A healthy animal is more disease resistant and a dog will maintain a greater state of health when its nutritional needs are properly supported and balanced. Diet is the key to maintaining good health.
Variety!
Healthy Paws complete food has been formulated to reflect the natural diet of the dog. In the wild, dogs thrived on raw meats and pre-digested vegetables and grasses from the stomachs of their prey. Thousands of years of domestication has allowed most dogs to adapt to a diet similar to ours.
When evaluating any food you must pay attention to how your dog looks and feels. Is the coat soft and glossy, are the eyes bright, are the stools consistent, do they have good energy levels, good muscle tone, are they alert and above all are they happy.
Although our Rabbit & Brown Rice is a complete food with all the nutrients your dog needs, it may be supplemented to add variety. You could add liquidised or raw vegetables over the food or simply add left over cooked vegetables from your own meal. You can add natural bio-yoghurt, preferably goats, as this contains lots of friendly bacteria. You can add supplements or treat with fresh fruit such as apple or banana or raw carrots etc. etc..
Healthy Paws complete food and dog treats is all about providing a balanced holistic approach to the health and welfare of your dog.
