Feeding Dogs and Cats

Feeding dogs and cats is extraordinarily difficult when manufactured foods have been shown not to contain optimum ingredients or to actually contain toxic ingredients. For these reasons, it’s best to make at least some of your pets’ food yourself.

Organic Vegetables and Grains
To give your dogs and cats the most benefit from your cooking, use organic vegetables. On average, organic vegetables and grains have 20-40% more antioxidants than do typical vegetables and grains raised in monocrop farms. Not only do our pets benefit from higher antioxidant levels, but by providing natural sources of antioxidants, we avoid the problems of nutrient imbalance and the deficits created by vitamin and mineral supplements.

Avoid Vitamin and Mineral Supplements
For more information on the negative effects of using vitamins and mineral supplements rather than providing whole foods or whole food supplements, check the last few blogs titled “Vitamins and Minerals Can Be Dangerous.” We’ve covered problems created by:

• iron, copper, and zinc,
• calcium and phosphorus, and
• Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, and Vitamin B6.
