Choosing the right food for your pet is important. With so many choices, it’s hard to know which way to go! Here are a few fundamental facts about which choice to make: For ALL cats, food should be grain free. Cats lack the digestive enzyme that metabolizes grains which is why feline obesity, diabetes and kidney failure are so common. Both cats and dogs require wet food in their diet. Kibble is highly processed and does not come close to providing the necessary moisture an animal needs to live healthfully. Wet food allows animals to retain vital moisture. Without this moisture, animals are prone to dehydration, urinary infections and eventually kidney failure. It is also extremely important to do your research! These days, many food companies disguise carcinogens well. Make sure to read labels carefully and know exactly what you’re feeding them! Your animals deserve the best quality of life; they’re your family!
