The importance of nutrition

A balanced diet is critically important to your dog’s cell maintenance and growth and overall health.
Adult dogs require sufficient nutrients to meet energy needs and to maintain and repair body tissues. The amount you feed your adult dog should be based on his or her size and energy output. Activity levels may vary dramatically between pets, and will play an important role in determining caloric intake.
The six basic nutrients are water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. These essential nutrients are required as part of the dog's regular diet and are involved in all of the basic functions of the body.

The importance of exercise

Exercising your dog frequently is good for health and also reduces behavioural problems such as excessive barking, licking, chewing, digging and any other anxiety-related behaviours. It also helps your dog build confidence and trust in you and their environment. It’s also an excuse to get yourself out there and do the same!
If your dog lacks the exercise needed certain signs may start to arise such as boredom, lethargic behaviour or frustration. This can then manifest itself in destructive behaviour or even aggression.
