76. What should I feed my dogs & cats? How can I keep my pets healthy?
- users.ilnk.com
- Yet, we fed her and Chiquita the best canned dog food and dog biscuits that you could possibly buy at any supermarket or pet store. ...
- I found out that “canned dog food” is unsafe for dogs. ... “The rendering plant floor is piled high with ’raw product’: thousands of dead dogs and cats; heads and hooves from cattle, sheep, pigs and horses; whole skunks; rats and raccoons --all waiting to be processed. ...
- For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term “rendering,” this is what it means: “Rendering is the process of cooking raw animal material to remove the moisture and fat. ...
- Every day, hundreds of rendering plants across the United States truck millions of tons of this ‘food enhancer’ to poultry ranches, cattle feed-lots, dairy and hog farms, fish-feed plants and pet-food manufacturers where it is mixed with other ingredients to feed billions of animals. ...
- So I searched the internet for a healthy dog food product that would not contain these recycled ingredients from the rendering plants--which are sold to major pet food companies. ...
- Then I ran across a website that advertised healthy dog and cat food, which did not contain any of these by-products. We decided to try this particular healthy dog food on our two Chihuahuas. ...
- So we put her on some powerful antioxidants and continued feeding her this new healthy dog food. ... And to top it all off, her hair started to grow back in all of the places where she had been losing it before! Bebe and Chiquita are both doing extremely well now, because we give them healthy dog food and also one of the best antioxidants in the world. ...
- So now we have the "perfect" natural flea control for our two dogs--garlic! We give Bebe and Chiquita a very small amount of garlic as a flavoring (about 1/4th of a clove of crushed garlic each), and we mix it in with their food that we give to them--once a day. ... (We also mix about 8-12 drops of a liquid food supplement for dogs that contains vitamins and minerals. ...
- On a daily basis, we give Proanthenols to our two Chihuahuas on an empty stomach, by having them take it with a very tiny piece of their favorite food--chicken. ...
- Topeka Capital-Journal tells about skinning cattle killed in blizzard and then turning these into dog food at rendering plant. ...

77. Nature's Menu, How & Why to Feed Raw
- www.storesonline.com
- Cats: This product is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO cat nutrient profiles for all life stages.
- Properly store, handle and feed Nature's Menu diets using careful sanitation procedures as with any raw meat product.
- WHY FEED YOUR PETS A RAW MEAT DIET? .
- By disregarding the basic nature of dogs and cats and feeding them food that they were never intended to eat, pet food conglomerates have set the stage for any health problems. The fact that many animals can live long, healthy lives eating these foods, has less to do with the quality of the food, than the animals’ ability to survive on less than good nutrition. ...
- Nature designed dogs and cats as carnivores, eaters of raw meat. Their systems were designed to extract the maximum benefits from meat in its raw state. ... Active enzymes are also absolutely necessary because they are protein substances produced in living cells that help break down food so that it can be digested and absorbed by the body. Without amino acids and active enzymes, food cannot be digested properly and then, no matter what claims the nutritional statements make, the nutritional values are NOT being adequately delivered to the animals’ body. ...
- Cats are known as Obligate Carnivores, this means that they MUST eat raw meat. Cats are more efficient at extracting protein from raw meat and have a very limited ability to utilize carbohydrates (grains). ...
- In a natural setting they will fill out their diet with the seasonal consumption of wild food stuffs, everything from vegetables to nuts, berries, and even the occasional cricket. These naturally foraged items all have a place in their natural nutrition, but no one has ever spotted a dog or cat dragging down an ear of corn or a head of wheat in the field and eating it. ...
- Over the years we have come to accept the word of the giant pet food companies that only they know what is best for our pets to eat, but this is far from the truth. Statistics can be manipulated, half-truths told, substandard materials cloaked with wonderfully evocative names and delightful advertisements made, which to persuade us to buy a specific brand of food. ... The basic problem still remains, commercial food is dead food with little to offer but convenience. ...

83. Nutrition GreatsFrancis M. Pottenger, MD
- www.westonaprice.org
- He conceived of an experiment in which one group of cats received only raw milk and raw meat, while other groups received part of the diet as pasteurized milk or cooked meat, summarized as follows: .
- 1/3 RAW milk, cod liver oil and 2/3 RAW meat .
- 1/3 RAW meat, cod liver oil and 2/3 PASTEURIZED milk .
- 1/3 RAW meat, cod liver oil and 2/3 EVAPORATED milk .
- 1/3 RAW meat, cod liver oil and 2/3 SWEETENED CONDENSED milk .
- RAW METABOLIZED VITAMIN D milk only .
- Pottenger found that only those cats whose diet was totally raw survived the adrenalectomy and as his research progressed, he noticed that only the all-raw group continued in good health generation after generationthey had excellent bone structure, freedom from parasites and vermin, easy pregnancies and gentle dispositions. ...
- The results of Pottenger’s cat experiments are often misinterpreted. They do not mean that humans should eat only raw foods—humans are not cats. Part of the diet was cooked in all the healthy groups Price studied and Pottenger fed a diet of both raw and cooked food to his patients. (Milk products, however, were almost always consumed raw among healthy primitives and Pottenger was a strong advocate for clean, certified raw milk. ...

- Morris the Cat - The epitome of the spoiled, pampered pet, Morris the Cat (first appeared in 1968) was the fifteen-pound orange-striped tabby with dark green eyes and a torn eyelid who entertained cat lovers everywhere as the feline spokescat for the 9 Lives Cat Food Company. Morris' philosophy on life?: "The cat who doesn't act finicky soon loses control of his owner. ... Combining the raw animal talent of this newly adopted waif with the haughty voice of human John Irwin, the Leo Burnett Advertising Agency created one of the most successful television ad campaigns in history. ... In the 1980s Morris the Cat authored the books The Morris Approach: an insider's guide to cat care (1980); The Morris Method (1980), about new pet owners and The Morris Prescription (1986) about cat healthcare. Morris has also appeared on the cover of Cat Fancy's 30th Anniversary issue in 1995 and on the cover of the 1996 book Good Mousekeeping by Ilene Hochberg. ... He was replaced by Harry the Cat. The current Morris the Cat lives in Los Angeles with his handler and companion, Rose Ordile, the cat's official trainer. TRIVIA NOTE: Morris the Cat campaigned to be elected President of the United States in 1988 and again in 1992. ...

86. What is BARF pet food?
- www.barfworld.com
- Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods BARF is about feeding dogs and cats properly. ... A Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet. ... It looks at the diet of a wild or feral animal and mimics that type of feeding regime using available whole raw foodstuffs. ... In the case of the cat, which is an obligate carnivore and a hunter, the biologically appropriate diet is based largely upon animal derived foods. Basically, whatever nutrition can be derived from a whole fresh raw carcass in its entirety constitutes a biologically appropriate diet. In the case of the dog which is an omnivore, a hunter and a scavenger, the diet can be based on a wider range of whole raw foods of both animal and plant origin. ...
- The philosophy behind using BARF is that the diet a dog or cat evolved to eat - over many millions of years of evolution - is the best way to feed it. ... It is not the theory endorsed by most pet food companies or the people they train - and that includes unfortunately - many vets. If you want to feed your dog BARF, it means not feeding your dog cooked and or processed food. ...
- A biologically appropriate diet for a dog is one that consists of raw whole foods similar to those eaten by the dogs' wild ancestors. The food fed must contain the same balance and type of ingredients as consumed by those wild ancestors. This food will include such things as muscle meat, bone, fat, organ meat and vegetable materials and any other "foods" that will mimic what those wild ancestors ate. Please note that modern dogs of any breed are not only capable of eating the food of their wild ancestors, but actually require it for maximum health. ...
- The BARF diet must, from a practical point of view, use food that is readily available. ... The natural diet and natural conditions under which the ancestors or wild cousins of our dogs live include grave dangers such as lack of shelter, starvation, attack by potential food, attack by other predators and the non use of medical intervention. ... This is my favorite use of the term BARF - Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. ...
87. On Balanced Homemade Diets and Feline IBD
- www.catnutrition.org
- After six years of escalating misery, all of my cat’s inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptoms disappeared—quite literally—within 24 hours of making the complete transition to a raw, grainless diet. ...
- Ultimately, I came to the realization that I was putting my IBD cat at much greater risk by feeding species-inappropriate commercial foods than by feeding him a carefully-prepared, balanced, grain-free, raw meat based diet. ... A grain-free diet “does the trick” for these IBD cats, but a raw diet with grains does not. ...
- The people in Canada who developed a splendid formulation called Feline Future, for example, spent years culling through small animal nutrition handbooks, dissecting the nutritional content of a cat’s natural prey, and conducting field trials to formulate raw-meat based recipe that closely mimics a natural prey diet for small cats. That makes good sense—why shouldn’t we feed something to a cat that mimics a mouse? Some have gone further. ... She’s been feeding raw successfully to cats for almost a decade, and has carefully re-dissected the lay and veterinary research on feline nutrition to explain what constitutes a genuinely balanced and complete home-prepared diet for cats. She has also just completed a magnificent online essay that, relying largely on the mainstream scientific literature on small animal nutrition, discusses why it is that dry food is such a terribly inappropriate diet for a feline. ... There is also a section with testimonials from people who have seen remarkable turnaround in their cats from feeding a raw diet. ...
- The mainstream veterinary community’s dismissal of homemade, and especially raw, diets out of hand because of a handful of noisy, irresponsible crackpots who are doling out ghastly advice is a poor substitute for not engaging in critical thought, reasoned debate, and unemotional discussion of a very serious issue. ... One of the byproducts (no pun intended) is that desperate animal caregivers today run a couple of cursory Internet searches on “natural diets” and end up feeding some dangerously unbalanced homemade food and trying aromatherapy to treat diabetes mellitus in cats. ...
- If I come into your office (perish the thought, huh?) and you judge that I’m serious about wanting to try raw feeding, could you point me to information about the proper calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in the feline diet? This is a mighty big one that too many people who are new to raw feeding don’t understand. I’d love it if more clients could have their vets hand them information on the precise mineral requirements of a cat and tell them which vitamins to use and in what proportions. ...
- Telling Clients That “Raw Feeding Can Be Dangerous” Is Not Enough. ... I did not carelessly plunge into feeding “any old diet” for my cat. I took the business of preparing cat food very seriously. ... I read all the admonitions on the pet food websites about the “dangers of raw. ... I wanted all that prescription food that my vet was selling me to work. But my sweet, sick cat was only getting sicker. ... Correctly prepared and served, fresh raw diets—balanced fresh raw diets—are what Mother Nature designed these marvelous carnivores to eat. The raw diet that cured my cat of IBD is much like his diet would be if he had the ambition or incentive to hunt small prey. ...
88. Cat Nutrition - 5
- www.netpets.com
- A well-balanced fresh-food diet for a cat would consist of meat (muscle tissue) for protein; saturated and unsaturated fats for protein (polyunsaturated fats, such as those in margarine, are not usually found in a carnivore's diet); sugars, starches, and other carbohydrates; cereals, grass, and certain leafy vegetables for fiber; various organs for vitamin content; bones for calcium and phosphorous; blood and vegetables for iron and mineral content; and small amounts of this and that for trace elements and pleasure. ...
- Since few of us will raise mice specifically for cat food, we may feed our pets a varied and well-balanced fresh-food diet with a little thought. ...
- Meat (muscle tissue): this is the basic food of any carnivore. ... The cheaper, fatty cuts of meat will also provide the fat the cat requires (buy the cheap hamburger, it's better for the cat). As a special treat, try giving your cat a mouse-sized gobbet of almost-raw body-temperature rabbit or chicken when he is not especially hungry and watch the hunter come out. ... This is an evolved trait to guarantee that the liver of the prey will be eaten and the cat will obtain sufficient vitamin A and iron. In the home, the cat will take all the liver it can get. If too much liver is given, the cat will succumb to vitamin-A toxicity, which can be fatal. ... When eaten raw it often causes diarrhea, when overcooked, constipation. ... Lung: lung has little food value and should not be served. ... Udder: like lung, udder has little food value and should not be served. ... Bones: bones are good food. The bones of larger animals, such as beef bones, are usually too big for a cat to get a handle on, but a cartilagineous knuckle or tail bone may be just the ticket.

89. The Ultimate Diet - Organic and Natural Dog and Cat Food
- www.theultimatediet.com
- Why raw meat? Dogs and cats are natural carnivores. Although their temperament has been domesticated, their digestive systems are genetically designed to digest raw meat. ... Should I supplement this food? The Ultimate Diet is a complete dog food. ... My dog/cat still seems hungry. This is a common reaction that dogs and cats have to "real" food. ... (Do you clean your teeth by eating potato chips?) Healthy saliva consists of stomach acids that will keep your dog or cat's teeth clean. We do recommend giving raw organic bones frequently to your pets as this also aids in building tartar fighting stomach acids. ... Sometimes the food looks or smells slightly different. ... Humans don't eat "health food" every meal, so why should my dog or cat? On the surface, this statement may seem valid. ... If you did have to depend on someone else for your food, would you not feel a lot better if that person put your health and nutrition first? c. A better way of phrasing the question is "I don't eat fast food every meal, why should my pet?" 7.
- For dogs, give raw bones weekly but only for 20 minutes at a time, under supervision. ...
90. Raw Food Versus Cooked Food
- www.cleanse.net
- RAW FOOD VERSUS COOKED FOOD.
- The Pottenger Cat Study.
- The study lasted for 10 years and was divided into two groups, raw meat group and cooked meat group. ...
- Raw Meat Group.
- The cats in the raw meat group were fed a diet of 2/3 raw meat, 1/3 raw milk, and cod liver oil. ... Miscarriages were rare and the litter averaged five kittens, with the mother cat nursing her young without difficulty. ...
- These cats were fed a diet of 2/3 cooked meat, 1/3 raw milk and cod liver oil. ... (Note the similarities of disease as compared with people who eat mostly cooked food. ...
- Cats on the cooked-food diet had heart problems, nearsightedness and farsightedness, under-activity of the thyroid or inflammation of the thyroid gland infections of the kidney, of the liver, of the testes, of the ovaries, and of the bladder arthritis and inflammation of the joints inflammation of the nervous system with paralysis, meningitis, and obesity (except with mother cats who were underweight). ...
- Such sexual deviations were not observed among the raw food cats. ...
- The average weight of the kittens born was 19 grams less than the raw-meat-nurtured kittens. ...
- After the first and second generation cooked-meat-fed groups were returned to a raw meat diet, it required approximately four generations for either group to regenerate to a state of normal health. ...
- Once when a female cat was subjected to a deficient diet for a period of 12 to 18 months, her reproductive efficiency was so reduced that she was never again able to give birth to normal kittens. ...
- From these experiments we can conclude that cooked food disrupts the digestive process which:.
- Devitalized Food Devitalizes Our Bodies and Our Minds.
- Our bodies are designed to partake of raw foods only. ... Now I realize that the average American has not reached the point where he will accept or under stand this but I say it anyway: My own true definition of a food is "a substance that nourishes or fuels the body with life-giving force (i. ...

- www.ighawaii.com
- Your cat is NOT A GRAIN, A SOY OR A STARCH EATER. ...
- That means you should not feed your cat a diet based on or containing rice or pasta or bread or breakfast cereals which are all grain based products and therefore damaging to your cat's health. ... Do not feed your cat sugary foods. ... Do not feed your cat any form of commercial cat food because they all contain substantial quantities of or are made almost entirely from grains, soys and starches of various kinds together with massive amounts of sugar. Instead, feed food which promotes positive health.
- Your cat is a little CARNIVORE. That is why you will need to feed your cat a diet based on MEAT. You will also need to feed your cat offal. ...
- Because your cat is a carnivore, it is a BONE EATER and will need to be fed plenty of RAW MEATY BONES. ...
- Your cat, if it were allowed to hunt would sometimes eat the stomach contents and small intestinal contents of its prey. ... That is why you will need to include in your cat's diet small amounts of FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
- Your cat, if it were allowed to hunt would sometime eat the contents of the large bowel of its prey which is full of FECES. That does NOT mean you will need to feed your cat feces. However, because feces is a rich source of B vitamins, essential fatty acids, fiber, first class protein and probiotics, these will all need to be included in the diet you feed your cat in some form or another.
- Should your cat's food be cooked or RAW?.
- Your cat has evolved as a RAW FOOD eater. All your cat's food, including the vegetables should be fed raw. To enable your cat to digest the vegetables, they will have to be completely crushed. ... Failing that they will need to be "mushed" with a food processor.
94. Food For Thought
- www.naturalrearing.com
- --> FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
- The subject of food, especially of "pet" food, is surrounded with controversy regarding which brand provides what; which is better brand x or brand xyz; so called "premium" brands and all the magical things it will do for your animal; the "mythical" all the nutrition in one bag your animal will ever need; and on and on and on!.
- If you dont think the following applies to your pet food--THINK AGAIN !!.
- When I was still using a "commercial" food I was naive enough to read the label and thought I understood the first few ingredients and a few of the additives, then my eye sort of skipped over the unpronounceable "---ites,. ...
- Of this total, 30% are buried, 30% are cremated and the remaining 40%, about 5 million pets, are shipped to rendering factories to be recycled and used in pet food. This may make sense as a scientific "protein source", but emotionally I am disgusted to thing of Dogs being used as "Dog Food"--all for the sake of economic raw material.
- Why then did the University of Nebraska researchers confirm the death of an 11-month-old girl from an adverse reaction to penicillin contained in dry cat food she had eaten? The Nebraska investigators noted in "The American Journal of Cardiology" that the penicillin level in the cat food was 600 times higher than USDA limit for human food.
- Lamb & Rice? Sounds yummy but the same process is being used! Just because it comes from New Zealand does not mean that little elves down there cut up all this meat into fresh little chunks that make up a "Premium" pet food. ... Presto Changeo--"Lets make it into a pet food and charge more for it" (same old song and dance from the back room advertising boys).
- Try to remember when you read a label, the mind automatically pictures the meat (be it beef, lamb, chicken or whatever) in its "raw" form as we normally see it at the grocery store. ...
- This is not because dogs and cats require large amounts of carbohydrates, but because grains are about as cheap a food as can be found. ... Ideal for our favorite yummy pet food. ...
- In natural foods (raw), Mother Nature does the balancing for us and the body takes what it needs. ...
- are synthetic forms of vitamins and minerals (cheap) which may or may not be effectively absorbed by a dog or cat. ...

- We are all aware of the problems created by BHA, Ethoxyquin, and BHT preservatives but you may want to try and understand the other "goodies" added to your pet food.
95. Your Animal's Health -- with Dr. Wendell O. Belfield
- www.belfield.com
- Which commercial pet food do I recommend? That's the one question I am asked most frequently in my practice. ... There is no government agency setting quality standards and guidelines, so there are no assurances of quality in pet food. ...
- I am certain at some time you have noticed a change in your dog after feeding him or her different batches of the same brand of pet food. ...
- Much more recently, San Francisco Chronicle staff writer John Eckhouse went even further with a two-part exposé entitled "Pet-Food Labels Baffle Consumers," and (a good candidate for a horror movie title) "How Dogs and Cats Get Recycled Into Pet Food. ...
- The finished products -- tallow and meat meals -- serve as raw materials for thousands of items that include cosmetics and pet food. " There were the usual denials by pet food executives. Yet federal and state agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration and medical groups such as the American Veterinary Medical Association and the California Veterinary Medical Association, confirm that pets, on a routine basis, are rendered after they die in animal shelters or are disposed of by health authorities, and the end product frequently finds its way into pet food.
- Government health officials, scientists, and pet food executives say such open criticism of commercial pet food is unfounded. ...
- The condemned livestock carcasses treated with these toxic chemicals can then become meat and bone meal for the pet food industry. ... Eckhouse quotes Eileen Layne of the California Veterinary Medical Association: "When you read pet-food labels and it says meat or bone meal, that's what it is -- cooked and converted animals, including some dogs and cats. ...
- According to Eckhouse, veterinarians at the University of Minnesota warned that the sodium pentobarbital used to put pets to sleep "survived rendering without undergoing degradation," but they concluded that the residue amount would be too small to cause problems if the carcasses of euthanized pets were mixed with other raw materials during a day's production run. No mention was made of the cumulative effects on a cat or dog from ingesting this small amount daily for years. ...
- First, a 9-pound cat is ingesting more lead daily than what is considered potentially toxic for children. ...
- In the absence of any government inspection programs or any rules and regulations on standards and origins of the ingredients in these foods, my recommendation would be to feed your pets only food that you would eat, such as scraps from the table or from the butcher.
- The use of DES to fatten food-producing animals posed no threat to human life, said the health officials and scientists; but they were wrong. ...
- Every day I have seen the casualties of the propaganda by the pet food industry. ... The question has never been whether or not pets are contracting diseases from pet food, but rather, what is the status of our pets' health when they are fed a steady diet of toxic chemicals?.
