7 Ways to Naturally Boost Your Dog’s Immune System

This is especially true if they’ve had health issues recently, your dog is older or is a very young puppy. Here are some ways that you can boost your dog’s immune system naturally.

2. Give Your Dog Organic Products

There are pesticides and herbicides that are used in most of the foods that are grown commercially. While they are a great option for reducing pests, they could have a negative impact on your pet’s health. Organically grown foods are the better options, as they don’t contain these chemicals. This is especially important if you occasionally feed raw foods to your dog. Additionally, your dog’s immune system will benefit, since organic products tend to have higher nutrient values, which means more benefits for your pet.

3. Make Sure Your Water is Clean

The water that we drink is usually heavily processed. In some areas, it means that it’s completely safe to drink, while in others, too many chemicals end up inside for it to be good for your pet’s health. If you are not sure about the quality of the water where you live, just give your pet filtered water. It’s both healthy and sustainable. And while you are playing outside, carry a bottle of water around to keep your pet from dehydrating.

4. Encourage Your Pet to Exercise

Just as their owners, pets need a healthy dose of exercise to stay healthy and happy. Exercise helps build the immune system, stay at a healthy weight and active through their lifetime. If you pet gets a chance to play outside, they also get much needed exposure to natural light and vitamin D. You can do simple things like take your dog on a walk or throw a ball around. For cats, you should have an ample collection of toys and climbing structures to stimulate play-time.

5. Minimize Stress

Anxiety and stress can be a detriment to your pet’s well-being. Every pet has different stress triggers. For example, if you pet has separation anxiety, try to make sure that you don’t leave them alone in the home for too long. Or maybe noises and visitors stress them out? In this case, have an area just for them, put some soothing music on, and give them space when visitors are over. Dogs and cats are extremely sensitive, so look out for signs of stress and anxiety!
