Pet Nutrition
Why natural foods? It’s easy. We are what we eat. The same adage is true for animals. Foods full of by-products, cheap fillers, and preservatives such as BHA, BHT and ethoxyqin are hard on and compromise an animal’s immune system. A weak immune system makes your pet susceptible to a variety of health issues, including allergies, whether it be food, flea or environmental.
All Natural Pet Supply carries only the highest quality foods for your pet. The foods we carry are preserved with vitamins C, E and rosemary, all just as effective and much easier on the body of our pets. The ingredients are of human grade quality and they do not contain by-products or cheap fillers. All products in the store must meet our strict, high-quality criteria to make it through our doors. You can be assured that everything we carry we would take home to our own pets.
Our staff is experienced and knowledgeable, and always keep your pet’s well being, your lifestyle, and your budget in mind when helping you make a selection. Good feeding doesn’t have to be expensive. We have a large variety so you can find the food that best fits you and your pet’s needs. Come in for a free sample today.
Raw Diets
For your carnivorous kitty, to your omnivorous pup we have a variety of raw options. We recommend the frozen dinners, where the nutritional balance is taken care of for you in the diet, but we do offer supplemental feeding diets as well, and a nice selection of beef and buffalo bones, chicken necks, backs, etc. We carry only human grade raw foods, and have some great organic/naturally raised meat selections.
Food Habits from the University of Michigan Animal Diversity Web
A dog’s diet should consist of balanced porportions of proteins, carbohydrates, fats and, of course, water. A dog can go days without food and lose 30% to 40% of it’s body weight without dying, but a 10% to 15% water loss could be fatal. All-meat diets are not recommended for dogs due to the lack of calcium and iron found in meat. Diet supplements should be avoided. Human foods that can be fatal to dogs include moldy cheese, onions, and chocolate. Feral domestic dogs will eat a variety of foods including animals and fruits.
