You drop your bags and give your pupper some love, and something amazing happens. The day’s stress just seems to melt away.

The Finest Foods – What’s In Your Dog’s Bowl?

Let’s start with their nutrition!

Food is one of the basic necessities of life, but it’s more than just that. Food is fuel. Food is enjoyable. Food is the vehicle that provides the nutrients necessary for a healthy life.

To improve the quality of your dog’s life, providing a balanced diet from high quality sources is key. And let’s not forget treats, because they too can be both delicious and nutritious! Here at Carolina Prime our mission is to provide you with only the best dog treats. Check out our product page to find the yummiest treats for your furbaby! Why not try our Chicken Wrapped Sweet Potato Stix or delicious Cheeze & Sweet Potato Tiny Bites? Your doggo will love you for it.

Keep Them Moving

Diet is 100% necessary for the health of your dog, but we can’t forget about exercise! To stay healthy and happy, your dog needs plenty of movement. Like humans, movement and exercise bring enjoyment and zest to life.

While going for walks is therapeutic and joyful for both of you, don’t forget to switch it up. Throw in some games of fetch or try out new terrain. Heck, if your dog loves the water, go for a swim! Exercise is yet another way to make your dog happy.

Tip-Top Conditions, Please

Most folks feel their best when their body is in excellent working order. There’s a reason we brush our teeth, shower, go to the doctor, book a day at the spa, and more. Well, your furbaby is no different!

Keeping up with your dog’s hygiene and bodily comfort will help them stay healthy and happy. Regular bathing and grooming is a great start. And let’s not forget dental health! There are tons of dog treats on the market that aid in good dental hygiene, including Carolina Prime’s Dental Jerky!

Need more ideas? Taking your dog’s collar off at night is an easy and free way to boost their comfort. Oh, and we can’t forget to mention pampering your pupper! Massaging and rubbing them (or getting fancy and booking them a doggy spa day) are other great ideas!

Keep It Fresh

Variety is the spice of life! Shake things up and add novelty to your dog’s life. There are so many ways to enrich your dog’s days, so let’s talk about a few ideas!

There are tons of interesting dog toys on the market, even doggy puzzles. This can be a fun addition for your pet. Or how about taking them on a walk to a new place? When you’re out on walks, let your pupper take the time to explore. Watch as they discover new things, smell new scents, and explore. And, of course, we can’t forget to talk about teaching them new tricks! Our Salmon Jerky and Salmon Topper-Trainer Treats are a fun reward.

Oodles Of Love Make Your Dog Happy

You know better than anyone else that your sweet furbaby loves you. Well, they need to feel the love, too! Just as you would spend quality time with a spouse or a friend, take one-on-one time with your dog.

Plenty of rubs, belly scratches, and snuggling are sure to make your pupper feel loved. Taking walks, playing a game of fetch, or even talking to your pupper are great ways to shower them with affection. Make sure to put away your phone and turn off the TV, even for one or two minutes, to give them personal attention!

It’s easy to forget sometimes, but you are your dog’s entire world. Their life revolves around you, and giving them one-on-one quality time is a wonderful way to make your dog happy.
