Doggone it!

2018 is the year of the Dog. For those born in the year of the Dog typical characteristics include, being seen as independent, sincere and loyal – much like our own furry friends.

Lintbells, manufacturer of premium natural pet supplements, want to let dog owners know how your pooches can help turn your luck around and significantly help improve owners’ health and wellbeing. Making it not only the year of the dog but the year of you as well.

There are several ways your canine companions can benefit both your mental and physical health, from improving your heart health, from keeping you fit to reducing stress – your dog does a lot more than you think.

With dogs needing up to two walks a day they offer plenty of time to get outside, enjoy some fresh air and you definitely won’t struggle to hit your step count.

Owning a dog is linked to reducing stress levels, lowering anxiety and even lowering blood pressure. They aren’t known as a ‘man’s best friend’ for no reason – our canine companions really do provide us with a bond like no other. You won’t need to worry about coming home to an empty house, as your pooch will always be waiting for you at the door, happy to see you. Not only can dogs offer a sense of security for owners, but you’ll be hard pushed to ever feel alone with your furry friend always by your side.
