Lets really look at what our pets eat!

Pets, Dogs, Cats and Horses, are they what they eat?
The fact is YES!! It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to figure this one out. Our pets seem to suffer as many autoimmune diseases as we do nowadays. If you take some time to really look at the big picture, maybe its because of their diet. These four legged friends don't have a choice in the matter, they eat what is given to them. They don't get the luxury of choice as we do. If they could a Dog would hunt for his food, eating fresh meat when he could. He would also eat his veggies, yes Dogs need to eat greens and more. I really believe God intended for the Dog to be our best friend, and he can eat what we eat for the most part, but I don't think God intended for us to feed him JUNK like we eat. Out of convenience once again, we buy pre~packaged dry kibble, filled with CORN and BY PRODUCTS, Fillers and much more garbage. Where is the meat? Some meat is put in there, it is meat that in unusable for human consumption! Rendered meat is just that, it is parts that we can't not use, okay its not going to hurt the Dog to eat a chickens foot, but that's really not the problem. They big picture is they're is no real governing over the quality of this so called rendered meat. Diseased animals are used, animals with cancer, and other horrible diseases. Animals filled with chemicals, antibiotics and drugs. Some rendered meats are actually other dogs and cats. Everyone knows that a lot of Dog food is actually made from horse meat, well horses today have more diseases than ever (due to diet too, yet another topic....).


Okay What do I do to have a healthy pet?
Exactly like your own protocol, take action read labels, feed your Dog or Cat ALL NATURAL Holistic Pet Foods. A pet can eat dry kibbles, but make sure it is chucked full of good stuff! Then add fresh meat "RAW" often. I know it seems like holistic natural pet foods are very expensive but really compared to some of the major brands, they aren't and not only will you get to enjoy a healthy pet but you will save money in the long run without Vet bills.

Weather you have a Cat or a Dog following an all natural diet will really help your pet live healthier. Cats need fresh raw meat just as much as a Dog. Cats also need greens, growing some for an indoor Cat is priceless and if your Cat is lucky enough to have access to the out doors, make sure you keep your lawn and gardens organic. A healthy Cat should live healthy for better than 20 years. 



In today's toxin infested environment, even with a good diet it is a good idea to supplement your pet with holistic remedies too. Especially if you are starting later in the pets life with a good diet. Supplements are vital! They are good too for puppies born with weekend immune systems. A lot of repair can be done with good supplements. I have managed so many ailments with them, including mange. My darling Bethany suffered from demodex mange, from her weekend immune system. When I finally trashed the dips and Ivermectin and put her on a holistic immune support she blossomed! I found that a coconut oil rub down after a bath gave immediate relief and suffocated the mites. It is truly amazing, how these natural remedies work, and if a Dog or Cat were in the wild they could pick and choose what to nibble on, instinctively knowing what they needed.  My motto is "Be Your Own Advocate" Well you must be your pets, he doesn't have that choice to be his own. 

With my 4 Dogs, 9 Cats and 14 Horses, I have done a lot of research on the best natural products, and here recently I decided to open my own all natural health store for pets and people. I mainly wanted to get more information out there to other pet owners about the benefits of diet and supplements. There are lots of good places to shop for all natural holistic pet foods and supplies, but I don't think there is enough places! Information is the most valuable tool for health. Good correct information, not information with vested interest!

I stock all my favorite products and use them on my pets! So they all come with my stamp of approval. I love Artemis Fresh Mix Pet Foods. They are holistic all natural and have unbelievable ingredients! Perfect and fit for human to eat! NO RENDERED MEATS!! My cats love the food and their coats are so shiny and healthy. 

Please pass on these sites to any pet owner you know, as I said information is so important! An educated pet owner, is a HAPPY PET OWNER!
