The main culprit for pets becoming overweight is the fact that the vast majority of pets are fed kibble. Kibble is high in starch, carbohydrates and sugar. Most kibble is actually higher in carbs than protein. Like humans, when we eat fast food and junk food, we gain weight. The exact thing happens to pets. Kibble is comparable to eating fast food. 

Reading a pet food label is very important, it can tell you a lot. If you know the right things to look for. Today I want to talk about the synthetic vitamins and minerals in pet food and shed some light on to why we stray away from them in the food brands we carry at Poochie Moochie Edmonton.

When shopping local at Poochie Moochie Edmonton, you can shop assured that we do extensive research into every brand we carry. We look at their safety guidelines, every ingredient, and the company ethics. We do this so we can answer the questions that our beloved customers ask. Education is something we strive for at our store. 

Kibble tends to be full of preservatives and grain additives such as rice, wheat and corn which compromise about 50% of processed cat foods and are used simply to hold the food together. Cats are obligate carnivores and although carbohydrates can be used as a source of metabolic energy, they have a limited capacity for carbohydrate digestion.

Here at Poochie Moochie Edmonton we exclusively sell raw because we believe that natural fresh foods can significantly decrease and assist in a lot of major diseases such as IBD, Pancreatitis, kidney disease, cancer etc. 

Feeding raw isn't always an option for everyone and that's okay! There are still way's to provide your dog or cat with extra nutrition that will help them thrive!
