Amidst the Dark Cloud of the Pet Food Recall – There is a Shiny, Silver Lining!

The calls and e-mails from frantic pet owners are flooding the information highways in record numbers. Everyone is worried about what to feed their pets and most people can’t even fathom how the companies they’ve come to trust could have had such disregard for the safety of the ones they love.

For twenty years I have been addressing the problems that most people have with their pets and offer solutions to help keep them! The sad story of the current pet food product recall is actually an important “WAKE UP” call for all of us, and now is the best time to institute important changes to enhance your own pet’s life. We need to examine what we’re really feeding our own animals. For me, most every health problem is in someway related to the diet. Food is the foundation of life. With high quality, wholesome, natural ingredients – great health typically follows. Without well-balanced nutritionally dense elements – we leave our pets susceptible to a slew of chronic health problems (such as allergies, obesity, diabetes, and digestive disorders).

So, how do we know what’s really good for our pets? It’s important to be a devoted label reader, but it’s even more critical to take a monthly assessment of your pet from every angle. I call it “taking your own pet portrait”. It’s about examining the texture of your pet’s coat, and experiencing a minimal amount of shedding or loose hair. You’d see clean eyes, smell fresh breath, and rejoice about their dexterity. They would maintain a trim, fit body, and develop a healthy digestive system that functioned perfectly. Given the right tools, everyone can begin to help take the healing process into their own hands. If what you were feeding your pet was healthy and balanced, it’s likely you’d never have an issue.
