Pardon the pun, but dog people are special breeds in themselves. They love their pets to distraction, sometimes treating them like people. Some even dress them up in cute little outfits.

A healthy coat starts from within. Any living thing needs lots and lots of water and it is no different with dogs. Water pushes nutrients as well as waste through the system. The less waste matter in the dog?s system, the less chance there is of illness.

Good Food
To keep your dog healthy, you have to feed him well. Dog food comes in many forms, from the hard variety to canned soft food.

Just as with humans, happiness leads to good health.
A dog?s coat is a good indicator of his health and well-being. Take care to make your dog?s coat shine by keeping him hydrated and well fed and the rest will follow. Who knows? His coat may be so beautiful that he will not need that snazzy sweater anymore.
