Keeping a pet dog healthy is done very much in the same way keeping humans healthy is. Dogs need regular exercise and activity, healthy nutritional foods, and plenty of water too. Unfortunately, many dogs have adopted human lifestyle habits, and because of this we've seen increasingly more health problems occurring in dogs too. And the bad news is, even dog owners who think they're feeding their pet healthy nutritional foods often find out that it's not as good for them as they thought it was.

Salutations! Welcome to the 134th Carnival of Healing. This is the Carnival's first stop this year at Mind Mart, and I'm always pleased to host this popular Carnival. As always, the submissions are full of wisdom and insight. If you haven't done so already, check out the wonderful job done last week by Yael Ernst at Chinese Medicine Notes. Next week's Carnival will be hosted by The Reiki Digest, and carnival archives can be found here. If you are inspired to submit to, or host future carnivals, please visit the Carnival of Healing Homepage. Now, on to this week's attractions.
