Save a dog or cat and have a friend for life!

Someone sent me an email today. It said, "Did you know? Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them."

This breaks my heart. Did you know if you keep buying puppies, kittens, and purebred pets, it helps to create the lack of homes for those unwanted pets. If you want a pet, consider adoption as an alternative source. I live with three rescued dogs, two from pounds, and one from a rescue shelter. We have become a family and share a tremendously strong love for one another. I wish all humans could experience this unconditional love that pets give us. It is tremendous. You can help by:
  • Adopting from a nearby shelter, rescue center, or online at www.petfinder.com
  • Donate funds to your local shelter and spay/neuter programs.
  • Giving your new pet proper care: natural, organic, holistic pet food; training to assure your pets proper behavior; good vet care and all necessary shots; giving your pet a place of warm shelter out of the weather; give them pleanty of your love and attention.

Another email I received today gave a link on helping to clean the inside of your computer monitor. It's quite cute:

Fruits n' Vegetables for Dog Food

Should you feed your dog fruits and vegetables? Absolutly! All the wonderful vitamins and minerals we get from fruits and vegetables are also needed by your dogs. Young dogs like to chew things as they grow up. Why not start them on carrots? Carrots are very nutritious and help keep teeth clean as they chew on them. The carrot habit will last into their adulthood. Cooked carrots and other vegetables like green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, avacado, zucchini, kale, broccoli, spinich, and parsely are also good mashed into brown rice and meat is also very good and naturally healthy. BUT NO ONIONS! Onions are very toxic for pets.

Good sources of the mineral potassium are fruits, peanuts, potatoes and tomatoe sauce.

What fruits can dogs eat? NO GRAPES or RAISINS. They are toxic and will make you pet very sick. I work with a man whose dog loved grapes so he fed them to her often and as much as she wanted. She became very ill and died. But most fruits are safe for pets to eat. Dried figs, dates, prunes, blueberries, and apricots are excellent treats. Also, try some fresh apple slices, berries, pumpkin, peaches, nectarines, cranberries and bananas. Vitamins, minerals, and fiber... you can't beat it.

There are some natural human grade, organic, and holistic dog & cat foods that contain these healthy fruits and vegetables in the ingredients. At EverythingNaturalPetFood.com you can find these pet foods for sale. Some featured brands are:
  • Neuman's Own Organics
  • Wellness
  • Taste of the Wild
  • Fromm Family Dog Food
  • AvoDerm

  • Natural Planet Organics
  • and other brands

Our animals are our partners in our lives and we are meant to take care of them. Please feed your pets the best that you can afford. Buy natural human grade, organic, and holistic dog & cat pet food or try getting a pet food recipe book and cook for them at EverythingNaturalPetFood.com . Remember, feed them life!

The Answer to Safe Natural Pet Food

The following link is to my new website. http://www.everythingnaturalpetfood.com/ After the scare of the Chinese Melamine which killed thousands of US and Canadian pet in 2007, people became more aware of what is in pet foods. Little did we know that the Chinese ingredient (melamine)was not the only killer ingredient in pet foods. Did you know that many cities, Los Angeles is a good example, take all the dead animals who have been put to sleep by veterinarians and give them to rendering plants to be cooked down for protein in pet foods. They don’t even take off the collars. These pets have been put to sleep with Sodium Phenobarbital which has been found in most of the commercial pet foods according to a study of these foods. So along with the diseases that these animals were put to sleep for, is the murderous ingredient that we feed our pets! Rendering plants also include road kill animals, bad meat from stores (the plastic wrapping and Styrofoam plates are not removed), and many other awful things.

Then we can get into the other pet food ingredients like meat by-products. This is skin, beaks & feet of poultry, and all the crap parts of animals that humans would never eat. This also includes the meat surrounding the cancerous parts that have been cut out. By-products are not a suitable source of good nutrition for our pet. Downed animals that can’t get up due to sickness and mad cow disease are hoisted by forklift and sent to the rendering plant and pet food plants. Along with many other unnecessary chemicals, preservatives, etc.

Is it no wonder that our beloved pets have been coming down with cancer, renal failure, and other diseases. Eating this daily in their food eventually causes their organs to shut down, or malfunction. This cuts years off their lives.

I for one am done with putting to sleep my suffering wonderful dogs & cats from these diseases. I had no idea I was doing it to them from feeding them pet food that said “Healthy” and “Nutritious” on the labels. I read there is a class action law suits currently pending against some of these pet food companies and the stores which sold them. Good luck to them as proving it will be hard and these companies have deep pockets for affording lawyers.

But there is another answer. Many pet food companies have taken up the challenge to make natural, human grade, organic, holistic, and some vegetarian dog & cat pet foods. They are fighting back and so am I. I have developed a website where you can find these new natural pet foods, pet snacks, and 115 books about cooking homemade pet foods, natural pet wellness care, and pet training. I know if we educate ourselves to the right way to feed & care for our pets, then we can prevent our pets from suffering and dying as a result of these awful pet food ingredients in the future. I've switched to natural, human grade, organic, or holistic pet food. It is available in abundance if you know where to look.

Pet food recalls are still going on. There are still mistakes and ingredients that should not be included being put into pet foods. Please, as loving pet owners, take a look at this site and see if there is anything that could help you help your pets. I have changed the way I feed my pets as a result of this knowledge. This website is for my pets, your pets and everyone’s pets.

The website is http://www.everythingnaturalpetfood.com/ and I hope you will share this site and information with all your friends & family who have pets. Ask them to share this website also. We all need to fight back. It’s time to feed our pets life!

Pet Food Industry & natural pet food.

There have recently been a couple of people indicted for the Chinese ingredient in pet food that killed thousands of our beloved pets. The fight is not over. First we must find natural, organic, holistic, or vegetarian pet food to feed our pets. Some companies in the pet food industry have developed foods in these categories and they are very safe and healthy. Next, we need to educate ourselves on pet food and what is in it. Lastly, we need to continue to fight for regulations that make testing of ingredients more prevalent, etc. Another ingredient to look up is vitamin K3 which is still approved for pet foods and is an artificial ingredient. Dogs and cats create vitamin K in their intestines. It does not have to be included in pet food, especially the K3. Long term use causes health problems that can be serious. I am looking into this and would like any information that you have. Also, I'm fighting back by starting a website to sell natural pet food. www.everythingnaturalpetfood.com I am interested on your thoughts and what you would like to share on the pet food industry.
