EASIER TOILET TRAINING
Poor quality food often causes diarrhoea, making it difficult for your dog to control its bowels and for you to successfully time
toilet breaks. Feeding your puppy a quality, natural food will help it produce regular and firm stools, making it easier to judge the
best times to let it out.
A CALMER, MORE FOCUSSED COMPANION
Artificial additives in low quality dog food can lead to hyperactive behaviour, a lack of focus and greater sensitivity towards people
or other dogs. Dogs that eat an additive-free diet are better companions, displaying the calmer and more focused behaviour you
want.
IMPROVED ENERGY AND WILLINGNESS TO PLEASE
At the opposite end of the spectrum, additives can also cause weight gain, lethargy and a poor desire to please. This is often
accompanied by physical symptoms such as dry skin, a lacklustre coat, bad breath and loose stools. Natural food will provide
plenty of energy, leading to an alert and happy dog.
NICK JONES SAYS
“My passion lies in helping to create a relationship that allows the dog to be well mannered, content and free from stressful
behavioural patterns. I believe that providing your dog with nutritious, natural and balanced food, such as Forthglade, is the very
first step in achieving this - ensuring that a dog is able to learn, relax and enjoy its environment. It is always a real pleasure to
see the positive impact that an improved diet can have on a dog and also how the relationship can improve between animal and
owner.”
