It’s hard to think of anybody who wouldn’t love to have a happy, healthy pet. Unfortunately, many people are unaware that what they are doing to their pets is causing them to suffer needlessly. So to look at pet health problems you must first look at yourself.

Firstly, what are you feeding your pet that is harmful? Nothing you might say. But look a little closer. Read the ingredients label on your pet food product. If you find any of the following ingredients be alarmed: by-product, corn, wheat, soy, meat and bone meal, chemicals like BHA, BHT, or Ethoxyquin, or any artificial colors or flavors like sulfur dioxide.

It is important to remember that pet health problems are best solved before they become a problem. After all, prevention is always better than cure, especially when the cure often involves pumping toxic drugs into your pet. This brings me to my second point.

Immunizing your pet each year means you are pumping large amounts of chemicals into their little bodies. You immunize your pet against diseases, right? But do you realize that by feeding your pet a nutritious diet you can prevent these diseases from talking hold. Once prevented immunization becomes unnecessary.

The question is not ‘What are my pets’ health problems?’ The question now becomes “How can I prevent pet health problems from arising?” Many people think that contracting a health problem is a matter of dumb luck, but they are mistaken. A body that has the right nutrients in the right proportions can heal itself. Therefore, a healthy body does not get sick!

You may be thinking, what is this going to cost me? I can’t afford to buy my pet all the natural, nutritious food it needs, what do I do? Well the answer is simple. It costs a lot less than you might think. There are resources out there that can help you develop a healthy meal plan on a budget.
