The booming veterinary industry has been so explosive, in part, because the nutiritional building blocks animals need for strong, healthy bodies is not available in the food they eat. DISTURBING FOOD…

For most of us, our pets are just as much a part of the family as our kids. So why is it we don't feed them as well as we feed our kids? That's a good question, especially when it could mean a longer, healthier life. Most pet parents try to buy the highest quality dry or canned food they can afford; however, that's really not the best way to go. Processed pet foods generally contain unknown ingredients, as well as a myriad of preservatives, none of which we would ever think of feeding to our…

All pet foods are the same. This is the same as saying all sausages are the same. They may be a similar shape and size, but what has gone into them, how they taste and their nutritional qualities are completely different. For example a supermarket economy sausage made with 20% meat, lots of rusk and colourings cannot be compared with a 95% meat premium brand. The best way to compare ingredients is to look at the first 5 ingredients to see if they are from named whole foods that you would…
