Understanding the dog's natural needs for its well-being

The essentials of canine physical and mental well-being:

Like humans, dogs have basic needs. Not respecting or satisfying their needs on a daily basis means facing problematic situations…

It is essential to understand that physiological needs such as drinking, eating, sleeping and relieving themselves are essential for a dog's health. However, the need for chewing , adequate physical exercise, and mental stimulation are just as crucial for their balance.

But they also have other physical and psychological needs: they need to run and frolic. They also need to use their brain, to take in their smells, to find solutions like catching the ball stuck under the sofa... In short, to think.

A dog with whom you have responded to all his needs, and a dog who, in the house when you are away for example, will remain calm, and will sleep when you are not there, or when you are going about your business. Because he has had enough physical and mental exercise to be tired.

Sometimes we find ourselves short of time to take our dog out enough in the morning to satisfy all his needs. And depending on his age, our dog does not have all the resources necessary to be able to have answers to all his problems.

This is why we have to show him the Bée plan he needs:

Chewing is an essential activity for a puppy, like an adult dog; chewing allows him to relieve stress.

Licking promotes the secretion of endorphins (the happy hormone) which have a calming effect on your dog. Another benefit is that it promotes oral hygiene. Indeed, it stimulates the production of saliva and helps clean the tongue, teeth and gums.

We must give our dog alternatives to grow or live a fulfilled dog life by offering him natural treats, licking mats, but also toys to stuff or chew.

Finally, we must not forget that the dog is an animal belonging to a social group, it needs healthy and balanced relationships with humans and its peers. Our contact, although pleasant, does not replace contact with its peers. Providing it with sufficient encounters with its four-legged friends will allow it to acquire stability and of course an obvious well-being.
