Good Food Good Pets

The reason most pets suffer from diseases not seen in the wild is because of two major reasons, first is the lack of proper diet. In the wild a dog or cat might eat nothing but meat being a carnivor scavenger species, sometimes turning to plants for other nutritional needs. People most often feed their pets table scraps or pieces of the owners food this is unhealthy for humans and still so for animals. The common dogfood is never the best, I worked in a landolakes animal food factory and can state that little to nothing an animal would eat in the wild was found in the ingredients. The second is the lack of excercise and education to be stress free and happy, this may sound crazy to some but hormones and stress relate to every organ function in the body while excercise and emotion can give life through circulation, nutrition, and elimination function that occur naturally. All that is needed are these most basic of principles to maintain a happy stress free natural diet ingesting pet that can live it's full life without pain or disease.

Natural food recipes and alternative pet treatment can be found throughout the links below. Try not to accept anything for complete truth nor devalue any good information from prejudice. Here are great resources but i encourage you to find your own and decipher to your best ability what you feel to be true.

Are dogs and cats omnivores or carnivores? What evidence do you have to support your decision?

What did our pets eat prior to the advent of kibbled foods?

How is a processed diet good and healthy for our pets? Is there evidence to support this?

Why do cats 'love' mice?

Why do dogs chew? Why do most dogs 'love' to chew on bones (real or artificial)?

Why are kibbled foods pushed and advertised extensively through veterinarians, groomers, dog shows, TV, magazines, etc.? Are there any financial or other reasons to do so? What would be lost if more people started feeding raw foods?

What (if any) propaganda or scare tactics have you been exposed to in regards to raw feeding? What were the motives (good, bad, and neutral) behind the propaganda or scare tactics?

How much nutritional training do veterinarians receive? Are they fully qualified to administer nutritional advice?

And the most important question: How can a processed diet be better for our pets than fresh, whole foods?
