In this article they discuss the pet food movement. Lately more organic and holistic choices have been appearing on the selves of pet food stores. As the years go by, pets are becoming less as our property and more as our family members. This also is influencing how we take care of them. BY providing our pets with natural pet foods, people are hoping that this will help extend the lives of our pets, as eating healthier would extend our lives as humans. But with increased value comes increased prices. One reporter predicted a 15% increase on this multibillion-dollar industry.
This makes a lot of sense to me as a pet owner. You would not feed a child a mystery food, so why would you feed your pet a food you knew nothing about? Dogs are omnivorous and need a completely balanced diet in order to keep their internal structures running smoothly. Cats on the other hand are carnivores, so they should not have any corn or wheat products in their diet, yet many cat foods use these as fillers. So even though these foods come at an increased cost, it would be worth it to keep your pet at their optimal health.
