SUNDAY SCOOP: DO YOU KNOW WHATS IN YOUR PETS FOOD?
When it comes to your pet's food, it's time to GET SMART! Rule #1 Read the Label. Check the ingredients! A good pet food should contain quality protein as the first ingredient, real vegetables and omega 3 fatty acids. Watch out for too many starchy carbohydrates. Many pet food companies are still fooling consumers by getting on the "grain-free" bandwagon, but the foods are loaded with carbohydrates to keep the cost down. Avoid controversial ingredients such as byproducts, soybean meal, brewer's rice, sugar, artificial coloring, peanut hulls and other sketchy fillers. To learn more about pet nutrition, see these articles about raw frozen diets, dry food and treats. Many pet health problems arise as a result of the diet the pet is eating. #petfood #dogfood #catfood #healthycat #healthydog #petsupplies
