• Get the "Raw" Facts Before It's Too Late!.
• According to "The Truth About Commercial Pet Foods," a massive study issued by the American Pet Institute (API), commercial pet food is the main source of pet diseases in the U. ...
• Charles Loops, agree that commercial pet food is behind many of the chronic diseases being faced today in veterinary medicine. ...
• In recent years, a clear trend has emerged among animal nutritionists that cats and dogs -- as well as other pets -- should return to the diet that nature intended them to have, a diet based on the raw meat that predators and carnivores prefer in their natural state. ...   Few people in today's world have the time, patience, energy, and desire to prepare properly-balanced raw meals for their pets when they can just tear open a bag or pop open a can of food that is quickly gobbled up by their seemingly happy pets.
• A solution to this problem has been developed -- balanced, wholesome, nutritious, raw meat meals that are easily stored and served in a matter of minutes.   And, best of all, the food is made of  "human quality" ingredients you can give your pet with total confidence that you are providing him or her with the best possible diet available.
• "   Commercially prepared raw meat-based diets have been on the market in the U. ...
• Carnivit  pet food products provide complete and balanced nutrition exceeding the norms determined by AAFCO (American Association of Feed Control Officials). ...

• “Let medicine be your food and food your medicine” has been the catch cry of dedicated healers down the ages. ...

I find this hard to believe because as a practicing veterinary surgeon, I constantly see the enormous difference in health between pets raised on commercial pet food compared to those raised on a biologically appropriate raw food diet. I see the enormous change for good in the health of pets switched from cooked and processed foods to a raw whole food diet. Despite that very obvious connection between commercial pet food and the poor health of the animals consuming it, commercial pet food has become the accepted way to feed pets throughout the civilised world! There are of course reasons. ...
• No training in the use of raw whole foods and a biased approach to our understanding of commercially produced pet foods. ...
•    Regrettably, our   lack of knowledge concerning   nutrition has become the basis or the excuse for recommending processed pet food! .
• Most people and that includes vets who are interested in their own health will acknowledge raw whole foods as basic in the formulation of their own healthy diet. ...
• Sadly we vets have been hoodwinked into accepting the hype regarding commercial pet food. We are prepared to believe the highly improbable theory that two species of animal, the dog and the cat, will do better on a diet for which their bodies are totally unsuited rather than their evolutionary diet! .
• Processed pet foods do not produce the lifetime of health promised by the pet food companies. They do not produce the lifetime of health seen when a properly formulated raw whole food diet is employed. ...
• That such diseases are the direct result of a lifetime of inappropriate food choices. ... However, it is my continuing experience – as a veterinary surgeon - that by switching an animal’s diet to a properly formulated raw whole food diet, those problems begin to disappear. ...
