Nutritional Needs

If you’ve ever caught your dog staring at you while you eat, you know food is a big deal in their world. But figuring out what to feed them? That can feel overwhelming.

Small Dogs: Burn energy fast and need calorie-dense food in small portions. If they’re picky, try warming their food!

Big Dogs: Prone to joint issues & obesity, so they need balanced portions with joint-supporting nutrients.

Puppies: Eat like tiny energy machines—high-protein, nutrient-rich meals are a must! Introduce new foods slowly to avoid tummy troubles.

Seniors: Need easily digestible proteins & joint support. A little bone broth keeps them hydrated and happy.

At the end of the day, there’s no one-size-fits-all diet—just feed them well, love them more, and enjoy every tail wag.

Exercise Demands

Not all dogs have the same energy levels. Some have nonstop zoomies, while others are couch-loving loungers.

Knowing your dog’s vibe helps keep them happy (and your furniture intact!).

High-Energy Dogs: If your pup never tires, they need at least 1–2 hours of real exercise—running, hiking, agility, or intense play like fetch or frisbee. Without it, they’ll find their own “fun” (like destroying your shoes).

Moderate-Energy Dogs: These dogs enjoy a mix of movement but don’t need all-day action. 45–60 minutes of daily walks, play, and training keeps them balanced. They’re always up for an adventure but won’t judge you for a lazy day.

Low-Energy Dogs: If your dog prefers naps over sprints, gentle walks and mental games are perfect. 30 minutes or less is plenty to keep them happy.

Every dog is unique—find what works for their age, breed, and personality. Some days they’ll be full of energy, others they just want to chill.

Grooming Requirements

Dogs come in all shapes, sizes, and—let’s be real—levels of grooming chaos. Got a short-haired pup? Less work, but hello, shedding season!

Long-haired dogs? Tangles and fur tumbleweeds everywhere.

And let’s not forget curly-coated cuties who need regular trims or hairless pups who require skincare like divas.

No matter the breed, all dogs need nail trims (unless you enjoy accidental scratches), ear cleaning (because funky smells are never fun), and dental care (dog breath isn’t cute).

A solid grooming routine keeps your pup comfy, clean, and less likely to turn your couch into a fur-covered masterpiece. So, grab that brush—it’s showtime!

Health Concerns

Dogs, just like us, face their fair share of health hiccups. From itchy allergies to stubborn tummy troubles, they somehow find ways to keep us (and the vet) on our toes.

Ever noticed your pup slowing down or struggling with stairs? Joint pain is a real thing, especially for bigger breeds.

And let’s talk about ear infections—floppy-eared dogs practically collect them like trophies!

Dental issues? Yep, that doggy breath isn’t always just from last night’s kibble.

But here’s the good news: regular checkups, good food, and plenty of playtime can help prevent many of these issues. The trick is catching problems early—because let’s be real, our furry friends aren’t great at telling us when something’s wrong. Keep an eye on their habits, show them some extra love, and they’ll be wagging their way through life for years to come.
