Healthy Pet Foods Information

Our world is slowly but surely becoming more and more environment-friendly - this includes creating a "green" world, as well as changing the foods we are putting in our bodies. And just as much as we need to make more healthy decisions for our own lives, we find that we need to spread that health-consciousness to our loved ones - including pets. As a result, many companies are sprouting up that offer holistic pet food options to begin the process of changing your little friend's diet. In this article, we will look at a few of these companies.

In the middle of a pet food recall involving protein concentrates and grain fractions imported from China, many companies are suffering from the inability to produce options for pets; however, these holistic companies are not among those under the gun and are safe for consumption. Let's look at these providers.

Canidae

The basis for Canidae providing food for pets is to make sure that it is all palatable and nutritious. They use no corn, wheat, soy, grain fractions or by-products to create their food, and it is all naturally preserved. They create food for both cats (Felidae) and dogs, and they also offer gourmet treats. All products include skin and coat conditioners for your pet such as omega-3, chicken fat, flax seed, lecithin, rosemary, sunflower oil, biotin, and sage. Canidae offers their products in hundreds of stores around the country making it easy to have access to their holistic foods.

NaturaPet

Another natural ingredient pet food provider, Natura creates products made from quality meat, whole grain, fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as vitamins and minerals. In addition, they make sure to leave out any hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides. And like Canidae, they add no artificial ingredients, chemical additives, by-products or fillers. Some of their product brands for pets include Innova (which contains elements of the five food groups), Evo (completely grain free), California Natural (hypoallergenic products), HealthWise (foods that work for all sizes and breeds), Mother Nature (treats baked using human-grade ingredients), and Karma (organic super-premium dog treats).

NaturaPet does not encourage Internet sales and therefore does not offer an online store, but does have a site search engine and map that allows you to locate stores in your area that offer the products.

Flint River Ranch

Flint River Ranch offers foods for cats and dogs that only contain human-grade natural ingredients. The treats are oven-baked making them easy to digest and contain vitamins and minerals that are said to help with your pet's fur and skin. While Flint River Ranch products cannot be purchased in a local store, unlike the previous two companies, you can buy their products on their website and take advantage of no sales taxes and free shipping.

The choice to provide your favorite friends with the best pet food available reflects the love and concern you have for their overall well being. By introducing high-quality, holistic pet food to their diets, they will benefit from a healthier coat and skin, as well as a more vibrant lifestyle.
