What is Really In Your Pets' Food?
Did you know some pet foods actually contain sawdust, chicken beaks, animal toenails, and proven cancer causing agents?
Where does your dog or cat food rate? This is a gross topic with gross injustices. It is one you need to read.
Many claim crude by-products as a source of protein on the label of their foods. Let us give you an example; while it is a true statement shoe leather is a source of protein, neither you nor your pet would actually derive any nutritional benefit from eating shoes. The reason is, the protein is not "biologically available."

Said another way, you or your pet's system cannot extract any measurable amount of protein from that source.

There are so many different brands of pet food on the market today for dogs and cats. How do you know which is the best for your pet?
Many promise good health, top of the line nutrition and natural ingredients. But is your animal really getting it?

Reading labels is the most important step in finding a food worthy for your pet.
Most commercial foods are loaded with preservatives, additives, by-products, fillers and sodium. One or all of these ingredients could be detrimental to your pet's health, causing a range of problems like allergic reaction, intestinal upset, skin disease, kidney and liver failure or even worse, cancer.
Another thing the major pet food manufacturers do not tell you are that many commercial brands also contain the 4 "D's" (Dead, Diseased, Dying, Decaying animal parts).
The fact is, when a dairy cow or a farming chicken becomes ill, they don't dispose of the body, THEY SELL IT TO PET FOOD MANUFACTURERES! This represents millions of dollars to the ranchers of the world.
Are fillers, crude by-products, dead and dying animals, & chemical preservatives that are proven to cause disease what you really think is going to give your precious pet abundant and robust health and a shiny coat?

We can show you what to look for so you can make the best decision for your pet. Do Not just buy a food because it advertises "Natural" or "Premium". Base your decision on the following:
1. Fillers are a Red Flag! The first ingredient on a label is always your main ingredient, as you probably know. Make sure the first one or two ingredients are Not fillers.
Fillers are usually corn or wheat.
These grains are cheap to purchase.
Avoid fillers like corn or wheat!.....It's a big waste of your hard earned dollar....and not very healthy for your pet either.
Do not be fooled by "fancy"
