Have you seen the documentary “Food, Inc.”? What an eye-opener! It’s amazing to realize how far removed we are from our food sources. In order to have our food be quick and easy, we have given up nutrients and health. We have also made those trades when it comes to healthy pet food for dogs, too.
You have got to be kidding me! Was this your verbal outburst or something similar to your first reaction when you looked at the shelves and shelves of pet food selections? Are you confused? If I was a first time pet owner I would be very confused and would not know where to start.
The overwhelming array of choices when it comes to pet food makes it difficult to determine which foods are best for your pet. In addition, many pet owners stopped trusting commercial pet foods after the massive pet food recall of 2007. Pet owners began preparing home-made diets for their pets or jumped on the raw food bandwagon.
We all love our pets and want them to live a long a happy life for as long as possible. In order to do this, you will have to maintain the health of your pet. One of the best ways to do this is to ensure that your pet doesn’t become overweight. Obesity affects animals the same way it affects humans.
The pet food industry, a billion-dollar, unregulated operation, feeds on the garbage that otherwise would wind up in landfills or be transformed into fertilizer. The hidden ingredients in a can of commercial pet food may include road kill and the rendered remains of cats and dogs.
