There hasn’t been a dull moment since our Heidi entered our lives. Each and every day has been an adventure with our beloved and respected family member; who is filled with boundless energy, selfless love, and devotion. She’s also one of the most intelligent and mischievous dogs that we’ve ever had! Hardly a day goes by without our dog getting into some type of mischief. We probably should have named her Mischief instead of Heidi, yet we couldn’t envision her being any other way since she adds spark and laughter to our lives!
Lengthening our lifespan and slowing down the inevitable aging process are two things people have been striving for since the dawn of time. Living a healthy lifestyle that is sufficient with proper nutrition and regular exercise are the key components of longevity. They’re also key components for our pets, who provide us with unconditional love and health benefits (i.e. lowering blood pressure and lessening anxiety) that have been scientifically proven via years of thorough research.
Our pets are unquestioningly our best friends, confidants, and family members. They bring us endless laughter, entertainment, comfort, and unflinching protection. Since our pets have our best interest at heart, we should provide the same unconditional love that they show us, in return. This is why it’s crucial for us to take their health, happiness, and comfort with the utmost care, compassion, and consideration since our pets are essentially part of us.
My Go-to’s for a Happy, Healthy, and Comfortable Dog!
Physical Activity
Opting outdoors and breaking a sweat with your four-legged friend will help ensure that you’re both happy and healthy, whether you’re playing fetch, walking, or running. One of my favorite ways to opt outside with my four-legged friend is hiking. I deem it nature’s therapy since we’re always at the most serene and peaceful state of mind when hiking.
Daily Vitamins
Our pets’ health is akin to a savings account. The more we invest in it, the more benefits that they’ll reap! I know that I’m at my healthiest state when my mind and body are working harmoniously together. Taking daily supplements help fills in gaps when my diet is lackluster by ensuring that I get all of the nutrients that I need. Vitamins can play a crucial role in our dog’s health, too, considering that the healthiest of diets can lack the nutrients that they need to thrive. Our favorite? The Milk-Bone Good Morning Daily Vitamin Treats.
Oral Care
Oral care for our pets is as just as important as it is for us. Taking care of their teeth can help prevent a host of ailments that are linked to poor dental health. The Brushing Chews Dental Treats that are part of Milk-Bone’s Advanced Care line at Meijer does not only clean like a toothbrush and freshens up our four-legged friend’s breath, but it serves as a treat for her as well!
Milk-Bone Brushing Chews Dental Treats feature a twist design. This helps dogs maneuver the treat to clean even those hard-to-reach places, including the back teeth and down to the gumline. The nubs and ridges are akin to bristles on a toothbrush, helping provide a thorough clean.

Aww, Heidi is beautiful! I need some of these for our dog Scottie. Plus I have a mPerks account and I love to save money!
Heidi is an adorable fur baby! I can see why you give her the best vitamin treats!
Heidi is a beauty! I agree with you that we should do whatever we can to ensure our dog’s health and well-being. Milk-bone treats are a great way to do that.
Good advice for humans as well as dogs haha! We don’t have a dog but I would say this is good advice for all pets – exercise, nutrition and oral care is essential for everyone! Gorgeous dog btw! X
Sounds like dog ownership has been an adventure. What a cute dog! How nice that you find some good dog products too.
What a gorgeous dog! I can’t wait until we get one. My girls have been wanting one forever.

That is a nice and healthy treat for dogs. I will recommend this to my pet owner friends.
Healthy lifestyle is absolutely essential for a long and better life, and this comes in with our pets as well. Pets are such awesome friends no doubt and caring for them should be paramount. You surely do that perfectly: from outdoor exercises to oral care…the later is such a new concept to me though…Heidi is so lucky!
What a beautiful pooch you have. I wish I could have a dog, but we have a cat and honest to god, their health care is so important.
Looks like a great product. Sadly, I dont have a dog. Thanks for sharing!
We found a pup through a rescue website, and she’ll be ready to come home in a few days. So I’m reading everything I can about what she’ll need. I want her to be healthy from teeth to tail, so I need to stock up.
Oral care is a must. Growing up nub aunt had a dog that was so cute. Despite her cuteness her breath was terrible.
Wow! I didn’t know you could so many things to make your pet dog comfortable. I am not a dog person so I never really bothered finding out. 😀
Milk bone is such a great brand. Our dog used to really love it for her treats. I love that they’ve got so many products to keep your dog healthy.
Such great steps for a healthy dog. We only have kitties, but I’m going to share this with my daughter. She has two adorable pups!
What a gorgeous dog! It is so important for our pets to be happy and healthy, and these are some great ways to maintain this. We definitely love our pets 🙂
