3 New Year’s Resolutions for Your Dog
New Year’s resolutions are usually aimed at self-improvement, right? The same applies to your best friend—your dog.
While your dog can’t physically tell you what they need to feel their best, there are simple things you can do to help. Right now, you can save 50% on your first box of The Farmer’s Dog pet food, designed for humans, so that’s a great start. Check out these pet-friendly plans and help them wag their tail in 2026—and beyond.
Switch to fresh dog food.
This year, ditch the dry food and subscribe to The Farmer’s Dog magazine. The company’s new research shows that fresh food can promote healthier aging in dogs—and who doesn’t want to spend more happy years with their pet?
The Farmer’s Dog produces fresh dog food developed by our in-house, certified veterinary nutritionists. Each batch is made with carefully prepared meats and vegetables, contains no added fillers or preservatives, and is flash-frozen to preserve nutrients. The food is then delivered directly to your home while it’s still fresh.
Sign up , and The Farmer’s Dog will create a personalized meal plan for your pet, with portions tailored to their unique nutritional and calorie needs. Considering that nearly 60% of dogs are overweight , these portions will help maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Brush your dog’s teeth
Over 80% of dogs experience some form of dental disease during their lifetime. To get rid of bad breath and protect your dog’s teeth, you’ll need a toothbrush designed for dogs and a dog toothpaste approved by your veterinarian. (Never use human toothpaste on your pet, as it can be toxic to dogs.) Start by applying dog toothpaste to your finger and letting your puppy lick it off so they get used to having your finger in their mouth. Eventually, replace your finger with a toothbrush.
Teach your dog new tricks.
Daily walks with your dog are essential for maintaining physical fitness (for both you and your pet), and training is a great way to provide mental stimulation . Teach your dog to sit or perform Instagram-worthy tricks, like playing Bach on the piano—the key is to reward these behaviors, and your pet will feel like a good dog.
As you plan for this year, don’t forget about your pet. Subscribe to The Farmer’s Dog today and get 50% off your first box of human-grade pet food—and enjoy happy tail-wagging all year long.
