Did you ever think some of your pets ailments may be related to the food you are feeding them. Pet food is big business, in 2010 we spent 18.7 billion dollars to feed our pets ( personally I did not spend that much but it did feel like a lot)

With that much money involved competition is fierce among the various manufactures so you can imagine that quality and good nutrition may not be at the top of the list for some. Now there are regulations for the production of pet food.

"The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) requires that all animal foods, like human foods, be safe to eat, produced under sanitary conditions, contain no harmful substances, and be truthfully labeled." Read Regulations

But just like the food we eat you need to read the labels carefully when you are deciding what you want to get "Miss Kitty" to eat this week. Make sure you know what  “meat-and-bone meal” and “by-products” on the outside of the bag actually mean. We stay away from products with artificial colors or flavors, corn (cheap filler), wheat gluten, meal, byproducts and other cheap fillers.

When time are hard we all try to find ways to cut back on expenses, just don't do it with the pets. A trip to the vet is not any cheaper that a visit to the doctor...

Wishing you the best of health
