Make Wise Choices with Your Pet’s Food for their Overall Health

Since we focus on pets’ health and well-being, what better than to write about how important it is for you to maintain a healthy diet for your pet. According to Dr. Doug Knueven, a veterinary lecturer on dog nutrition, he states, “poor diet is the biggest obstacle to achieving canine health.” He also claims “many illnesses and skin and behavioral problems are directly affected by diet.” Dr. Knueven provides several tips and guidelines to help you in your quest for a happy and healthy pet.

  •  Maintain a stable and consistent Diet– Home cooking is even suggested if you eat healthy and avoid foods altogether that are deadly to pets. A healthy and nutritious diet consists of raw meat, organ meat, raw bones, fruits and vegetables.
  • Ingredients– if you decide not to cook your pet’s meals at home, be sure to read the label of the pet’s food you are purchasing. A specific fish or meat name is the first word to look for in the ingredients, along with natural preservatives. Artificial flavors, colorings, byproducts and sugars are big no-no’s. All of our Wholistic products contain the best and most essential nutrients, as well as certified organic and the utmost healthy ingredients you can find in pet care health food.
  • Protein and Carbohydrates– High-protein diets are the healthiest with the longest life span in pets. The high-carb diets are the worse for life span and overall health. Make sure your pet’s receiving enough protein and less carbs. Our Wholistic line contains super-rich antioxidants and abundance in organic ingredients to ensure the optimum health in your pet. Our products are for Skin and Coat, Health Supplements, Joint Support, Digestive Support, including Flea and Tick Control.
  • Rotation– it is suggested to rotate between several brands to ensure a balanced diet. However, it is noted to do this gradually and not suddenly.
  • Supplements– To aid in your pet’s nourishment, give a supplement to subside with their healthy meal intake, such as fish oil and a probiotic. Several great supplements to give your pets are our Wholistic MSM, which provides an “important source of organic sulfur, a necessary component required for most functions of the body.” Another all-in-one supplement to continue good health and long life span is our Wholistic Canine Complete, which contain certified organic and super-premium ingredients.
