Spending Valuable Time with my Dog Bella

I cherish all the moments I spend with my dog and because she has been through some traumatic experiences (a few emergency surgeries) I always make sure that she is happy and of course healthy. I think it’s important to spend as much time as you can with your pet, because unfortunately, unlike humans they don’t have as long of a lifespan. Particular moments throughout their day may seem insignificant to you but to them, it’s what they look forward to throughout the day. For my dog, this is mealtime (and like everyone else’s pets too I’m sure!) Because my dog has had such traumatic experiences with her health I take her meals very seriously, and of course make sure she has as much playtime as possible. Mealtime to dogs is something they love and I believe it’s something that a pet owner can be a part of too.

Some of my dog Bella’s favourite things to do in the summer are: playing in the grass, ever since she was a puppy she loved to roll and frolic on the lawn, it was adorable. I’m happy to note that as she’s gotten older she hasn’t grown out of her cute habits. She also loves to smell all the different flowers in the garden, she always comes out with us in the garden when we’re weeding or landscaping, it’s one of our favourite ways to spend time with her.

Being such a pretty girl and enjoying the sunshine with her new raccoon toy and tons of energy thanks to Purina® Pro Plan® Savor Shredded Blend. 

To make sure she is getting the right nutrition in her diet, we have started to make the switch to Purina® Pro Plan® Savor Shredded Blend and she absolutely loves it. You can buy this food at PetSmart which has an abundance of choices to choose from. Typically my dog is quite picky, but when we opened the bag of food she couldn’t wait to dig in. (See photos!) I have found since we have made the switch that she has so much more energy throughout the day, she seems like she’s happier too and wanting to play with her toys a lot more and frolic in the grass without flopping down after one second which is what she usually does. Not only has it given her increased energy and happiness, but the formulas are made with real poultry, meat or fish which is the #1 ingredient in all dry formulas. Dry formulas always feature a combo of crunchy kibble and tender shredded pieces for a taste and texture that dogs love. This particular kind of dog food is even available in dry and wet foods – plus snacks and meal enhancements. There are a few more reasons why I am so happy I made the switch to Purina® Pro Plan® Savor Shredded Blend, which is because it’s a 100% complete and balanced nutrition for each life stage, whether you have a puppy or an older dog like mine (she is 9) this is the right food for you. There is a great amount of protein (which definitely explains her increased energy levels!) and fat which helps dogs maintain an ideal body condition.

Where to get the Purina Pro Plan at PetSmart:

Making the switch to Purina® Pro Plan® Savor Shredded Blend has been one of the best choices we’ve made. I’m so excited to be able to spend a wonderful summer with my best friend, she is happy, healthy, energetic and loves her new food. I believe spending time with your dog, even by simply petting them can decrease stress in a profound way. Coming home from a stressful day at the office and seeing a happy dog with their tail wagging to greet you is one of the most beautiful moments a person can experience in their lifetime. I think we, as a family, are going to have a great summer savoring our pet and her wonderful attributes and quirky behaviour.

Checking it out in the store and having a great time. 

Purina® Pro Plan® Savor Shredded Blend has such a great variety to choose from. We went with Turkey & Vegetables, Chicken & Rice and Lamb & Rice. She gobbled it up very quickly.

Mealtime is a family affair, hence my beautiful mother in this shot here and Bella admiring her as per usual. Mealtime is a great way to bring your family together and for us, we get so excited about seeing Bella interested in her food.

We like to keep Bella’s food organized, especially in pretty containers.

Ways to help spend time with my dog this summer that you can try too:

1. Hiking the trails, she loves going for hikes because she’s all about discovering new scents and loves to explore.
2. BBQ lunches at the park, I would like to bring her along with her bowl and water and a placemat close to the picnic table. We like to do these kinds of activities because while we get joy in eating outside surrounded by the beauty, we know she likes to be a part of it too
3. Tour of a garden where she can walk on a leash and enjoy the flowers, again, she loves to experience new scents from various flowers.
4. Drive through the country where she can hang her head out the window and stop for snacks along the way, taking along her food and her water bowl.
5. Take a trip to the beach where we set her up with a shady spot, her water bowl and food bowl.
6. Go to stay at my grandparents for the weekend where we take her bowl along as well as her favorite toys, she loves going to visit her grandparents and we love spending time with the entire family too.
