Overweight Dogs and Cats: the dangers and how to prevent naturally

by Destany McDonald August 15, 2023

About 50% of dogs and cats are overweight. It has become so common that when people see a dog or cat that is a healthy weight they think they are underweight…a overweight pet increases the risk of arthritis, diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, respiratory disease and more!

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.

by Destany McDonald April 09, 2023

Even if a commercial pet food claims it "meets nutritional requirements", it is designed to be a convenience food that lasts longer than fresh food. Think about processed food for humans: we know they are not the healthiest choice for us, yet we tend to buy it because it's quick, easy and lasts longer on our shelves. Same goes for processed pet foods. Kibble tends to be full of preservatives and grain additives, which compromise about 50% of processed pet foods

Importance of Organ Meat in your dog's diet

by Lori Cameron August 22, 2022

One of the best ways to up the nutritional value of a raw food bowl is by introducing organ meat! Organ meat is more densely packed with about every other nutrient in comparison to a regular cut of muscle meat. Organ meats contain Vitamin D, which is one of the most important vitamins as deficiency can lead to muscle weakness, fractures, common cancers, autoimmune diseases and infections. It has the highest concentration of naturally occurring Vitamin D than any other food source. Organ meat also contains high amounts of essential fatty acids and omega 3 fats including EPA and DHA, which decreases inflammation.
