For us humans, nutrition is considered the foundation of good health & it’s true that the same goes for our animal & pets. There is more. Typically, the meals you eat for yourself are also suitable for your pets ? An animals diet consists of a variety of whole foods enhanced with vitamins & minerals, enzymes & supplements, when necessary, to promote best health & stop disease.

Animals are natural hunters & carnivores. Dogs are basically descendants of the wolf. They have very short intestinal tracts geared to the consumption & digestion of raw foods. Cats, on the other hand are carnivores ? having a meat only diet - & are specially designed to hunt small animals like rodents & birds. A cats digestive tract is designed to process raw meat best.

If you enjoy a natural organic diet, there is no reason why your cat or dog can not enjoy the same organic meals with you… Organic foods offer the best of canned or tinned options as they do not contain pesticide residues & other toxins that your pet then has to eliminate through its liver & kidneys. There is more. This is particularly important for animals with a problem with their immune system.

Commercially prepared ‘organic biscuits‘ & ‘organic kibble‘ is the best choice for your pet. Regular biscuits & kibble have become the standard diet for most pets in our culture. It’s reasonably cheap & convenient.

Animal owners & Veterinarians, how ever, are becoming more aware of the nutritional needs of animals & pets & are taking a new approach to nutrition by choosing the highest quality ingredients & carefully controlled preparation over cost & convenience.

For most dogs & cats, a home-prepared raw food diet is best. A diet consisting of Raw organically farmed meat, crushed organic grains & vegetables are recommended. Cut the meat into a size suitable for the size of the animal being fed. Smaller size pieces for smaller dogs & cats & larger pieces for larger dogs.
