Be aware and read the labels on the wet and dry food you buy for your pets to ensure that the ingredients are wholesome and that they don’t contain chemical additives or fillers.
Whilst appropriately balanced home prepared food is a very healthy option for your pet, it is not always practical for many people and high quality commercial foods are a good alternative. But as pet owners, we need to be discerning and read the labels on the food products we buy.
Look out for labels that say, organic, all-natural, human grade quality. With dried or canned foods and also pet treats, choose those which are sugar-free and are low or devoid of fillers and chemical additives. This includes chemicals added for preservation, colour or taste enhancement, including nitrites and sulphites. These chemicals can cause inflammation, allergies and metabolic complications in animals, by damaging healthy tissues and placing undue stress on vital organs. Whilst the animal’s body detoxifies harmful waste products and chemicals through the liver, kidneys, gut and skin, once the liver and kidneys become overburdened, the body attempts to detoxify through the skin, hence coat and skin problems including allergies can emerge. Chronic inflammation underlies many of the health problems our pet’s experience, including obesity and ageing.
At Healthful Pets we have carefully selected a range of high quality, all-natural foods and treats for dogs and cats. Ingredients of our dog food and treats contain 100% human grade, natural ingredients including meat, vegetables, herbs and fruits.
