Although a huge number of pet owners now realize the necessity of feeding their pets with all natural healthy pet food, a majority of the customers fail to understand that the benefits of feeding holistic and all natural pet food will be helpful in saving their finance in long term. There is, in fact, a wide array of benefits associated with all natural pet food formulations. In this article, we will critically shed lights on each of the beneficial factors offered by all natural and holistic pet food choice.

Less Amount of Food is required for Natural Foods. The actual requirement of this all natural pet food is very less as it contains no fillers or by-products in it. It is say about 20% to 40% lesser than other commercialized pet foods rich with synthetic ingredients available in the market. All natural pet food comes at higher price compared to the artificial ones. A little higher price is outweighed by the lesser amount required,
Optimum Level of Health is Ensured. Although the pet owners pay higher while buying pet food rich with all natural ingredients, they are actually saving money in the context of long term pet health budget. Research has shown that pet food rich in all natural ingredients offers much more healthy benefits to the pets compared to the synthetic one. Animals develop various health complications including digestive disorders, allergy, skin eruptions, inflammation in the ears, and many others if fed in synthetic low priced pet food.

Prevent Premature Aging Research has shown wild animals experience less degenerative diseases, the diseases associated with aging process, compared to the pet animals fed on artificial or synthetic food. It is believed that the primary reason for this discrepancy mainly arises due to the fact that the wild animals grow up with natural food, which contains the healthy enzymes, essential for healthy development. Alternatively, the artificial pet foods lack the essential enzymes and other natural food qualities.

All natural and holistic pet food is rich with natural ingredients, this food offers protection against cancer, kidney disorder, heart disorder, skin problems, digestive problems, arthritis, obesity and even diabetes.

If You are feeding the pet with all natural home-made pet food can offer the same benefit or sometimes even more. Pets like humans also become highly vulnerable as a result of their nutritional choices. What you want for your beloved pet,the choice is yours.

Obviously their health will be in top form as well as their energy levels so they will be able to perform better to even the way they look. The only thing you will pay a lot more going this route. But no matter what you spend, the way you like to be treated should be the way you treat your animals if not better. When you buy the inexpensive brand you know the saying “you get what you pay for.”
Most veterinarians say these inexpensive brands would compare to taking a piece of cardboard, dipping it in gravy and serving it to your most beloved animal. All this does is it fills their stomachs but it does not give them the nutrition most animals need to thrive.

Once your pet gets use to all the high levels of nutrition and all the good calories to go along with it, they will start to eat less than before. You cannot even begin to count all the long as well as short term benefits when you decide to upgrade. The best quality foods and that is including the much abundant and easy to find if you search “home made dog food″ recipes, these will provide your animal with a healthier and happier disposition in life. Most dogs tend to be allergic to the lower grade ingredients found in cheap dog food.

Once you switch to the higher quality food , you will notice that your dog now tends to scratch less and they will not shed as much as before. A lot of breeds are prone to yeast developing in their ears but if your dog is healthy they will not be prone to this.

Their bodies will be able to heal a lot faster after having surgery, accident or just a simple procedure. Have you ever tried to teach your dog a trick? Without much luck. Think of it like this, lets say your on a diet of garbage do you think after eating this for a while you are able to produce good work. It’s the same for our fury little friends as well.

Changing to a better quality food will help with all these problems. I am the proud owner of a Saint Bernard. I adopted him after a semi truck had struck him, and he walked away with minor scratches. After they put some stitches on him his owner decided to dump him at the nearest shelter since he was not considered a “show quality” dog any more.

When we bought him home we kept him on the same food the shelter had him on. He had a few bare spots on his legs and back area from a rash he acquired at the kennel. So I decided to bring him back to the shelter to see what they would recommend for this rash, they gave me a simple ointment to apply so I did for two weeks with no avail, he even started having loose bowel movement, so I decided to bring him to the vet.

The vet came out and told me that he was not getting enough protein in his diet, so I upgraded to the next expensive brand thinking about a 180 lbs dog would leave me homeless but his rashes got better and a couple of them even went away. But I did not see the best results until I decided to buy him the highest quality food that his demeanor became calmer his itchy ear became under control and his bare spots became fully healed.

Now he has a full shiny and healthy coat and has even gained 50 lbs. I have always believed in that you reap what you sew. Pets need to be on a diet that is even better than ours. Always keep in mind that you buy your pet cheap food you are not only being neglectful but uncaring as well.

Domination of The Cat

Kamis, Juli 10, 2008 | with 0 komentar »

The cat, felis catus are becoming the most popular pets worldwide. There are about 100 million cats in the Western world and this figure is on the increase. There are many reasons for feline popularity and one reason in particular is that cats make affectionate, extremely devoted companions.
There are also over a hundred recognized breeds of domestic cat. The main feline features that vary are body type, eye color, coat color and length of coat. Some pedigree cats are natural breeds and many others are the result of careful breeding.

Cats have always been a source of fascination for mankind throughout history. It has been about 4000 years ago, since the first cats were domesticated. The Ancient Egyptians were the first to keep and use cats to control vermin and other pests to protect stores of food. In Ancient Egypt, the cat was revered as a hunter, even worshiped as gods and goddesses. The ancient Egyptians imposed the death penalty for killing cats and cats were also mummified before being buried. Early Egyptians even mummified their beloved pets for their journey to the next world—accompanied by mummified mice!

Other ancient civilizations later began to domesticate the cat and took tame felines to Italy where they slowly spread around Europe. Eventually, they arrived in the New World with the Pilgrims. The shorthaired domestic cat spread across the world from Egypt, while longhaired cats came later from Turkey and Iran. The domestic cat also spread from India to China and Japan.

Exotic pets chosen for kids should be gentle and easy to handle. However, kids can forget to be calm around pets, so pets for kids should be able to handle the sometimes noisy and rambunctious nature of kids.













As for any pet, adults must supervise interactions between children and exotic pets, and be prepared to take over primary care of the pet if necessary. And most importantly, kids should be taught to always wash their hands after handling pets of any kind to prevent disease.

1. Guinea Pigs
Pros: generally quite tame, easy to handle and rarely bite. They also get to know your routines and become quite responsive, which keeps kids interested. They also tend to be active throughout the day and night, so are more likely to be awake some of the same hours as children. Cons: though fairly sturdy, they do require gentle handling. Should be kept in pairs and need a large living space, and need to be fed fresh healthy foods to help meet their vitamin C needs.

2. Rats
Pros: this often overlooked pet is very social and intelligent. They are generally quite easy to tame and do not bite readily. Larger, less skittish and easier to handle than many other rodents. Though they are nocturnal they tend to adapt a bit to your schedule. Cons: though easy to handle, they still need a gentle touch. They may also urine mark when wandering about, including on your hands (minor, but might bother kids). They should also be kept in pairs and need a large cage.

3. Hamster (Syrian/Golden)
Pros: don't require much space and should be kept singly. Hamsters generally get quite tame with patient handling and will interact a bit with kids. Cons: nocturnal and do not adapt much to your schedule, so they might be very sleepy when kids want to play. Unfortunately, a sleepy hamster seems more inclined to bite in self defense. Note: dwarf hamsters have become increasingly available, although their small size makes them less amenable to handling than syrian hamsters.

4. Gerbils
Pros: can become quite tame with regular handling. They are social so should be kept in pairs/groups, but even if they are not handled much they like to play and interact so are fun to watch. They are also more active during the day than other rodents (go through several sleep wake cycles over 24 hours rather than sleeping all day or night). Cons: they can take some patience to tame. Care must also be taken that a child never grabs a gerbil by the tail.

5. Mice
Pros: mice are quite easy to care for and do not need a large home. A group of female mice will usually live together quite happily and be quite entertaining with their play. Cons: mice are very quick, agile and tend to be skittish, so are more difficult for kids to handle. For most kids, they are better as a "look, don't touch pet." Also most active a night.

6. Leopard Geckos
Pros: leopard geckos are readily available and among the easiest reptiles to look after properly. They are also quite docile, and can be handled with a gentle touch, and a couple can be kept in a fairly small tank. Cons: although they don't need a special UV- producing light, they still require a fair investment in tank set up. While they can be held, they are not as responsive as mammalian pets. As with other small pets, good hygiene is essential when handling.

7. Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches
Pros: I consider these the ultimate in low maintenance pets, which makes them somewhat ideal for kids (if kids get bored with them, there is not a whole lot of work to take over!). They are large enough to be handled and are generally quite docile, yet are completely undemanding of attention. Cons: they are cockroaches, so definitely not cute and cuddly! Not interactive or responsive like mammals, although they are interesting in their own way.
