Where did this raw pet food trend start?

admin — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 03:51:12 +0000

For anyone that’s read research from a reputable vet school, feeding raw food to a pet limits the nutrition they can take in. For instance, feeding a dog corn is useless but processed corn is like 95% digestible. For some reason, people think corn is bad or that cooking is better than buying food.

Does anyone have an idea where this started?

It probably started with someone who wanted to sell raw pet food.

How to properly switch an adult dogs dry dog food?

My pitbull currently eats a certain kind of dry dog food. That said, I want to switch my dogs food to a more organic and higher quality dry dog food.
What is the proper routine/process to introduce the new dry food and how long is the process/routine?

Try mixing a little of the new into the old. Gradually increase the proportion of new until you are switched over. Keep an eye on your pets reaction, but typically figure on something like a week or so. And best of luck

What is a healthy cat food that my cat will like?

My family adopted a cat from a shelter. Shes only a kitten, around five months old. When we adopted her, the people at the shelter gave us a small bag of cat food, which I’m assuming is healthy. The problem is, she doesn’t like it. She refuses to eat it unless shes desperate for food. My mom bought meow mix and she started eating a LOT more often. But I’ve been told that,meow mix is poor as far,as the quality of the food goes. Whats a cat food that is good for her that she will like?

Since it is still a kitten you should feed it a food that specifies for Kittens only for the first year. Try Purina One, its not expensive and you can hunt around for coupons too. When it gets older try a food that is for indoor cats, hopefully you will be keeping it indoors only. Good Luck!

Are so many people abandoning their pets because you cannot buy pet food with government food stamps?

admin — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:08:05 +0000

Is it legal to use food stamps to make home-made pet food?

There are many recipes on the internet.

You most certainly have shown the "unbalance" of life in this system. Those that can barely afford to feed themselves, having "pets" and trying to feed them. Then there is the government that is a HUGE contradiction and to what they are giving people or taking away, L>O>L>!!! BUT, don’t forget they can spend billions on war paraphernalia. Even giving tons of food to Third World Countries, while charities are asking the average to low-income people in the States to GIVE when they are barely making it themselves. What can solve all this? Not man as described in Jer. 10:23 (He can’t even make a step without tripping himself and others) What is the remedy? Christ’s Kingdom. This is going to put an end to the corruption now, then make way for TRUE peace and security. Dan. 2:44; Ps. 37:10, 11; Isaiah 65:20-25 And we are having a spiritual fulfillment of these blessings now. By us being in a "Spiritual Paradise" we can receive blessings now that can protect us from all the corruption.

What cat food is good for sensitive stomaches?

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 04:16:39 +0000

My older cat who is 10 has had a sensitive stomach since she was young. My younger cat is very picky and does not like a lot of cat food made for sensitive stomachs. What cat food is there that would be easy on my older cats tummy and taste better for my younger cat?

Try a canned food or a grain free dry food like EVO, Wellness CORE, Blue Wilderness, Taste of the Wild. Most foods have a lot of carbs and grains in them and cats were designed to eat meat.

What is the difference between regular cat food and cat treats that makes cats love treats so much?

admin — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 01:33:35 +0000

Why don’t they make cat treats into just regular cat food if cats love that so much? Is it perhaps fat content or something?

My husband picked up a pack of treats, $3 for 3oz so they’re not cheap. It’s ‘Grilled Salmon Flavor" and the ingredients are: Ground wheat, chicken meal, corn gluten meal, rice, chicken fat and flavor. There isn’t much nutrition in here and it’s mostly filler (wheat and corn) that the cat can’t digest. Yes, the cat loves them. I use Fancy Feast dry as a treat. It’s better quality than the pack of treats and less expensive (less than $3 for 1lb). The cat loves them too.

For regular cat food, I feed my cat Innova Evo. It’s high protein, low carbohydrate, and doesn’t have any grains. There’s a huge difference in it’s nutritional value compared to the treats.

A cat treat is like a dessert. It tastes good and generally has many calories and not much nutritional value. Using a treat as a reward is fine, just be careful it’s not too much too often.

How much does your pet food cost?

admin — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 18:00:15 +0000

Okay, my pets food averages at about $3.92 per pound. I told my aunt this & she thought I was crazy to spend that much. Is it really that much? How much does your pet(s) food cost? What brand do you buy?

Nature’s Variety Instinct: It cost me about $3.95/lb. It does cost quite a bit more than what most people buy but that’s because most people feed grocery store brands, which were I’m at run about $0.75/lb. NVI works for my dog & it’s at least somewhat healthy, I’d like to start feeding raw eventually but if not I feel good feeding her this. Don’t worry my whole family thinks I’m crazy too.
