5 tips to keep your dog happy, healthy and spoiled this National Dog Day – Yahoo News

There's never a bad day to celebrate your pet, but National Dog Day, Aug. 26, gives dog owners an extra special reason to pamper their pups.
"National Dog Day is a wonderful occasion to show your pups some extra love," Mark Eamer, chief marketing officer at Chewy, told "Good Morning America."
While happiness matters, it is important to remember other factors also influence your pet's overall health, so "Good Morning America" tapped Darris Cooper, national dog training manager at Petco, to share some helpful insight.
"It's important to evaluate the aspects individually and as a whole to give your pup the best care possible," Cooper said. "The Whole Health approach involves five pillars, physical health, mental health, social health, home health and accessible health, which help pets lead full, rewarding lives.”

"Pet parents can help ensure their dogs have joyful, enriching lives free from boredom and anxiety by prioritizing their mental health."
"It's important to strengthen your pup's social health so he or she feels confident and comfortable around other animals, humans and within their environment. Positive reinforcement-based training can help promote brain development, nurture the pet-pet parent bond from the start and contribute to pets' overall wellbeing."
"Every dog should have a dedicated space where they feel safe, secure and loved, filled with a bed, blanket, bowl and toys. To care for your dog's home health, I recommend making your dog's crate a positive experience and a cozy retreat where they can relax and recharge."
"Your pet should never have to go without the things they need to stay happy and healthy."
