Apart from security, love and shelter, you must also give your pet what they rightfully deserve. Like the right type of food, treats,  toys, accessories, etc.

PROPER NUTRITION : Your pet needs a balanced diet to stay healthy. Whether you buy a commercial brand or cook it yourself, it should include the correct combination of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. It is always good to check the ingredient list  on the commercial packet, before you buy it.. If in doubt, speak to one of the knowledgeable and experienced staff at GLENANDS PET STORES.

Feeding the right amount and the correct type of dog food will keep your pet healthy and of the correct weight. Do not compromise on the quality of the food, as this is most essential to keep your pet healthy.

EXERCISE AND BASIC TRAINING : For pets like dogs, regular walks, playing, fetching, hiking, and swimming can keep them physically active and healthy. However, remember it has to be done only after a pup completes six months of age. Never before that.  Providing him the right toys  to play with, and hiding dog treats or dog biscuits  in toys and encouraging them to find it can involve a lot of mental activity and keep them away from boredom and destruction. Basic training like teaching him to walk correctly on a leash and collar, understanding basic commands will make him a better pet.

REGULAR CHECK UPS :  Getting your pet screened for early detection of any disease or health issues is a good practice. If your dog is susceptible to falling prey to any health problem, either genetically or environmentally,  your Vet can help you by prescribing the correct supplements and medication. An early diagnosis may help prevent a disease itself.

Grooming: This involves keeping your pet clean by brushing it a couple of times in a week and giving it a regular bath by using a quality Puppy or Dog or Cat shampoo like the Glenand brand. Groom Tools by Glenand  have nail scissors and trimmers, brushes and combs to suit every pet’s requirements. The  PETHEAL brand of finger Eye Wipes, Dental Wipes and Bath Wipes are great to make home grooming exciting and interesting, besides enjoying a wonderful bonding time.  Also ensure that your pet is administered  SPOT ON Drops to keep ectoparasites away.
