Why does my dog…

Why does my dog tilt their head at funny noises?

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Helping your dog stay at a healthy weight is one of the best gifts you can give them. Research shows it can add over two years to their life, while lowering the risks of diabetes, heart issues, and joint pain. More healthy years mean more walks, more cuddles, and more time together.

A nationwide study found that overweight pets needed more vet care and medications. But here’s the uplifting part: small changes make a big difference. Feeding the right type of meals, skipping table scraps, and keeping up with daily walks or play sessions all help keep weight in check.

Even short walks or games of fetch strengthen your bond while keeping your pup happy and fit. Pair that with regular vet check-ins, and you’re setting your best friend up for a longer, healthier, tail-wagging life.

Adding “superfoods” to your dog’s diet is a simple way to give them an extra health boost. While most nutrition does come from balanced dog food, certain whole foods can support their digestion, joints, and immune system.

Blueberries, for example, are packed with antioxidants that may protect brain health, while pumpkin’s fiber can ease stomach troubles like constipation or diarrhea. Omega-3–rich fish, such as salmon or sardines, help reduce inflammation and keep coats shiny. Even yogurt, in small amounts, can provide gut-friendly probiotics.

Other options include bone broth for joint support, kale for vitamins and minerals, or turmeric for its anti-inflammatory effects. Just remember: moderation is key, and it’s always best to check with your vet before adding something new.

A few add-ins, like a handful of berries, can make snack time both tasty and nourishing for your pup.

Every bowl of kibble might look the same, but what’s inside? That’s where the real difference lies.

This sweet pup belongs to Daily Dig reader Melanie, and we’ve just learned they’re a full-blown peanut butter enthusiast. (Honestly, same.)

Judging by the post-snack grin and those happy eyes, life is good and the PB jar is always half full.
