It’s the Little Things: A #GetHealthyHappy Giveaway!

We may eye that expensive dog bed or great vacation destination with the big price tag but, when it gets right down to it, it’s the smallest things that make the biggest impact in our dogs’ lives. You can make a major difference in both the quality of your dog’s life and the bond that the two of you share with inexpensive, easy-to-do steps like:

• Playing with your dog. Toys can be inexpensive (just watch for ones that are too small or have parts that could come off and be swallowed), homemade, and repurposed–but the act of playing with your dog builds that bond.
• Grooming your dog. You know how wonderful it is when someone brushes your hair? Our dogs can feel that same pleasure and bond when we take the time to groom our dogs. You don’t have to be a groomer–just grab a brush and spend some time with your best friend.
• Reinforcing good behaviors. We love positive reinforcement training and use both praise (Tiki’s favorite) and treats (Irie’s favorite) to reinforce good behavior. Now, with Irie recovering from ACL surgery, we are using treats to get her walking–slooowly–two to three times a day.

Hill’s has a big line of all-natural treats that are naturally preserved, with no corn, artificial colors or artificial flavors. From training treats to jerky chews, these treats can be used to help enforce good behavior, to reward a dog after a difficult time like a vet visit or just to show your love. The treat line ranges from Science Diet® Soft & Chewy Training Treats with Real Chicken to Science Diet® Soft Savories Peanut Butter & Banana to Hill’s® Science Diet® Jerky Strips with Real Beef.
