Want to live longer? Get a pet!
The medical community has long stated that owning a pet will reduce stress in your life. That comes as no surprise to us! Just last week, the American Heart association came out with a report stating that pet owners actually live longer than non pet owners!

Celebrate your Pet: It’s National Pet Month
The month of May marks the beginning of summer for many of us. May also is “National Pet Month”, a special time for celebrating our relationship with the pets in our lives.
Pet ownership has many benefits. It’s well documented that having a pet improves both our physical health and emotional well-being. In exchange, we have a responsibility to give our pets attention and care.

Keep Your Pet at a Healthy Weight for a Long Life
With the holidays behind us and the winter doldrums in full swing, many of us are seeing an unwelcome jump on the bathroom scale. For our pets, even a pound of two of weight gain can be a real health hazard.
Studies have shown that a lean dog will live an average of 2.5 years longer than an obese dog, in part, because they are less likely to develop the medical conditions which come with excess weight. The same applies to cats.

So, The Dog Dish asked some of our Best Friends Pet Care professional trainers for suggestions on how to help the family pet beat the winter time blues.
