What Your Dog Needs

The fact that you love your dog and want to do your best for them isn’t in question, but do we really understand what our dogs need in order to thrive?
Looking after our beloved dogs comes natural. We give them a shelter, food, water and countless cuddles. But is this enough? It turns out dog's needs are just as complex as ours. Luckily, there is a handy visual tool you can use to make sure you take all your pet's needs into consideration for a happy, healthy and fulfilled life together.

Linda Michaels (MA) adapted Maslow’s hierarchy to create the dog's version of the hierarchy of needs. This helps explain what your dogs need from you and, importantly, what you need to prioritise in order to give your dog the life they deserve when they join your family.
