How Do You Choose the Right Dog Treats for Your Canine Friend?

Dog treats are a fantastic reward for your canine friend. Whenever they successfully do something or respond to your commands, you’ll typically give them a tasty treat as a way to say “good job!” and encourage more of the same behavior. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that with so many dog treats on the market, it can often be difficult to pick one that’s suitable for your pooch.


So how exactly do you pick a dog treat? What are the differences between treats, and what should you really be looking for?



Try to avoid scraps of food
It can be tempting to give your dog scraps from the dinner table or share some meat with them, especially if they look at you with their puppy eyes and start whining. Unfortunately, a lot of food that we eat can be dangerous to dogs. Chocolate is a great example of food that dogs should never eat. They also have other common food intolerances such as soy and corn, both of which are present in a lot of foods we eat.

So the next time you consider sharing your dinner with your dog, consider the potential health consequences!

Look at the calorie count of the treat
Calories are just as important to your dog as they are to you. Too many calories will make your dog big, slow, and put them at risk of developing health problems. In fact, feeding too many treats is one of the reasons why many people have overweight pets that eventually develop long-term health conditions.

Overindulging your dog can be a bad thing, so make sure you look at the calorie count of your treats and ensure that you’re not overfeeding your dog. If you’re unsure how many calories your dog should be getting, we suggest looking at a basic calorie counter. If that doesn’t work out, then you could try speaking to your local veterinarian for assistance.

Choosing dog treats at the store
So here are a couple of tips to help you pick the right dog treats at the store:

  • Look for additional health benefits in the treat. For example, ginger treats for dogs can assist with conditions such as cardiovascular issues. They’re tasty, healthy, and have additional benefits, making them well worth considering.
  • Prioritize food and treats that are made with natural ingredients. Some dog treats can be loaded with sugar, salt, and other unhealthy things that contribute to high-calorie counts.
  • Always look at calories and fat count so you don’t end up overfeeding your dog.
  • Don’t be afraid to try new treats to see how your dog reacts. Buy small packs of different treats to add some variety to your dog’s treats!

Whether you’re thinking of bringing a pet home soon or want to take better care of your canine companion, we highly recommend that you put more consideration into choosing their treats and food. This will help your dog be much healthier in the long run and will also make you a more informed pet owner.

Signs It’s Time to Replace your Sliding Patio Screen Door

Pexels


Just like most things in your home, your sliding screen doors will eventually need to be replaced. Your deck or patio are likely areas that you commonly use, especially during warmer months. Sliding patio screen doors are wonderful for allowing fresh air into your home and taking advantage of the day’s sunlight. With frequent use, your doors will begin to wear down, which is to be expected. The question is when you need to replace them. There are several areas to examine before deciding on a door replacement. If you’ve noticed a difference in the look or function of the door, it probably is time to install a new one. Take a look at these components of your door to fully diagnose the problems. You’ll find that some issues can be remedied without the need for a total replacement. Others call for a brand-new sliding screen door. 


The Wheels 
The wheels are what make screen doors slide open and closed. These little plastic guys can wear down or break without much force, so they’re often a culprit for a faulty door. One issue here could be that the track just needs to be cleaned out. If it’s mucked up with dirt and plant matter, give it a good cleaning and then try the screen door again. 

You can also try adjusting the wheels of the screen door. This can be done by unscrewing the adjustment screws to release the tension on the door’s wheels. The door will lower so you can safely remove it from the upper and lower tracks. Now, you’ll be able to see the wheels up close to check for damage. New wheels can be installed on your screen door, but if the screen or frame is damaged, it’s best to replace the entire door. 


The Screen 
This is an easy one that should take just a minute to check. Inspect your screen for any tears or punctures. If you find several damaged areas, the wire screen is in need of replacement. This is because insects can enter your home through these gaps, and the last thing you need is for mosquitos, flies, or even wasps to buzz around your home. Screen tears also lessen the tension of the screen in its frame, so it may even appear loose. With time, specific types of wire screens can wear down. If you have fiberglass, insects may have spent years chewing away at the metal. 


The Frame 
Damage to the screen frame can affect the door’s functionality in the tracks. Unfortunately, it can be easier to damage screen door frames than you might realize. If the kids accidentally throw a baseball at the frame or a large family dog jumps on it, the frame can easily dent and warp. For less troublesome dents, you may be able to remove them with a few taps of a hammer to push the metal back into place. If the door frame is very bent, it may not slide open and closed easily or at all. This is a definite sign that you need a new sliding patio door screen. 

Now that you’ve examined your sliding patio door screen and found that you need to find a replacement, you can easily find a sliding patio screen door to install in your home. If you don’t consider yourself the handy type, not to worry! These doors can be purchased fully assembled or in DIY kits. Each has its pros and cons, like more expensive shipping for assembled versus kit style. The great thing about screen doors is that they’re reliable simply to put together, even for amateurs! That’s right – you don’t need to hire a professional to get a new sliding patio screen door installed. Many window screen companies allow you to customize kits for your needs, so your kit is the right width and height for your patio doors. Plus, some even allow you to specify the frame color and screen type, so the new screen door is totally personalized for your needs. However, fully assembled screen doors cut out any potential for hiccups during assembly. All you’ll need to do is fit the screen door into your track system.
