Pet Food

The link between human health and nutrition is well know. Unfortunately most of us do not pay attention to the health of our pets and the nutritional quality of what we feed them. The truth is that our pets are living shorter lives than they used to and are suffering from a wider range or ailments and disease. Most pet food you'd buy from a grocery store, and sometimes even from the vet, are comprised of poor quality ingredients and are not tailored to a species appropriate diet. Most cat food, for example, contains a lot of grain, which cats don't normally consume. Furthermore, the meats used in many pet foods are often the leftovers from factory farms thar are not fit for human consumption.
