nutrition

A healthy pet has clear bright eyes, a brilliant coat sheen, clean teeth, good breath, and a playful happy attitude. Unfortunately, many of our pets are unhealthy, suffering from health problems such as allergies, diabetes, cancer, etc… Holistic veterinarians believe that the harmful ingredients in most pet foods contribute to these health problems, and they advise pet owners to provide a natural dog food and cat food, so that pets can attain the health they so deserve.

Pet owners are realizing just how important nutrition is in the health of their dogs and cats. To capitalize on this consumer awareness, many well known large commercial pet food companies advertise that their food is natural and healthy. The pictures on their bags of food show healthy fresh vegetables and lean cuts of meat. But, when you look at the ingredients used in the food, you see a very different picture. Many brands contain questionable ingredients: animal by-products, artificial colors and flavors, and chemical preservatives like BHA, BHT, and Ethoxyquin. And these are the potentially harmful products that many veterinarians believe lead to various illnesses and chronic problems afflicting our beloved pets.
