Its 2010, if you haven’t already jumped on the organic food bandwagon I’m sure you soon will. But why is it ok for you to eat organic and healthy but don’t allow the same luxury for your pets? Yes organic pet food is now available and it’s becoming very popular.
Being an avid animal lover I’ve always treated my pets as children, and rightfully so. My dogs are always there excitedly waiting for me every day when I get home and always have nothing but love for me. There are just as many benefits for feeding your pets organic food as there is for us humans to eat organic food. First and foremost being energy. The better and healthier food in your pet’s system the healthier and more active they will be. A reduction in skin ailments, allergies, digestive disorders and a stronger immune system are just a few more benefits to be mentioned.
Is this the correct food for your pet? Just because it is organic doesn’t mean it’s the best choice for your pet. Make sure that when searching for food you choose the food specific to your type of pet, i.e. a working dog requires a higher protein diet and some dogs with a slower metabolism will require less protein. Also make sure when purchasing food you take a look at the ingredient list. The most important ingredients will be listed first and you will want to see meats as the first couple of ingredients on the list. By-products will want to be avoided in the beginning of the ingredient list as a matter of fact you should not see any animal by-product in the list at all. If you are entitled to living a healthy live your pet should be as well, treat them like they deserve to be treated so you will truly have a life long companion.

The summer months are a busy time for dog owners with summer vacations. Now the hot weather is coming, don’t forget these hot weather safety tips.

For outside dogs, confirm they have loads of shade.

Confirm they have access to masses of cool water. If your dog travels with you, take along water in a gallon container and a bowl. Never leave your dog in a vehicle on a warm day. Even with the windows open, the temperature inside an automobile can pass 120 degrees. Avoid intense exercise on intensely hot days. Condition and train your dog in the early mornings or evenings, when the heat is less intense. Guarantee your dog’s vaccination treatments are up to date. Dogs have a propensity to stay clear of doors longer and come into contact with other animals more in the summertime months.

Keep dogs off grassed areas that have been chemically treated or fertilized for 24 hours. Mosquitoes, which carry heart worm sickness, along with fleas and ticks, are loads more humdrum in warmer months. Chlorine from pools and bacteria from streams, lakes, and pools can be lethal for a dog’s system. Always wash your dog after swimming to dump the chlorine. Many airlines will not ship animals during summer months due to risks due to hot weather. Delta will only permit pets to fly when the temperature is under 85f for all legs of the trip. Check with your airlines for explicit rules and be sure to only ship in airline approved shipping crates.

As a lover of animals are you aware of the value in buying natural pet supplies? As you will observe in this article, it is the harmful materials used in the production of the conventional pet supplies that poses a dangerous threat to our dearly beloved pets. In traditional manufacturing processes, pet supplies are produced with synthetic fibres. This poses a real danger to our environment as through manufacturing, these companies are dangerous, contributing to the pollution of the environment. By purchasing natural pet supplies, you are comforted with the peace of mind that your pet is receiving the best possible product which will contribute in helping to improve the overall quality of life for your pet.

Companies involved in the traditional manufacturing of pet supplies tend to emit high amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere, the ground and the water. This then increases the chances and leaves your pet susceptible to being potentially exposed to these harmful substances. In addition to this, pet supplies produced in the traditional form pose a high danger to your pet. This is exemplified in the year 2007 where the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) had a major recall on pet food as they found traces of melamine in them. Melamine is a compound used in the production of plastic and is said to deceitfully increase the protein levels of pet food. However, melamine poses a serious threat to animals as it produces crystals in their kidneys. Subsequently, ingestion of melamine by your pet leads to kidney failure. This gives you all the more reason to buy natural pet supplies.

By you purchasing natural pet supplies, you are assured that your pet is receiving the best food and supplies. By buying natural pet supplies, you will allow your pet to enjoy a longer, healthier life. In addition, most of the companies that are in the production of natural pet supplies implement eco-friendly techniques which help to control the pollution of our environment and ultimately helps in prolonging the life of your pet.

There is no denying that an all natural, organic pet diet is beneficial to your pet’s health, but most pet owners aren’t fully aware of the real difference an organic diet can provide. A pet can see several physical changes after a switch to organic pet food, including their hair / coat becoming softer, fluid in ears disappearing, eyes clearing up, improvement in skin health, better breath, healthier immune system, and a boost in energy. On top of the mentioned list, there are several potential benefits to take into consideration as well:

1. Increase in Energy
One of the most obvious benefits to an all natural pet diet is an increase in energy for your pet. Just like humans, when a pet is overweight and unhealthy they tend to have less energy and appear lazy. An all natural diet is a much healthier alternative for your pet for several reasons, including that organic food is absent of bulk-fillers that are found in every day pet food. Your pets consume only what is necessary for a good healthy diet.

2. Better Health
An all natural, organic pet food will contain better quality sources of nutritional substances that are often lacking in every day premium pet food brands. Because the organic food is more digestible, your pets digestive system will absorb more nutrients rather that eliminate the nutrients necessary for a healthy immune system.

3. Helps Allergies
Many pet breeds out there are susceptible to allergies, which any owner of an allergy-ridden pet will tell you are not easy to combat. An all natural diet can provide allergy relief that owner’s would often not be able to obtain using the variety of special sprays, shampoos, dips, creams, and medications that are often times prescribed / recommended. Because organic pet food is free of artificial coloring, flavor enhancers, chemical additives, and toxic pesticides often found in most premium dog food, an all natural diet is a pet owner’s best chance at defeating your loved one’s allergies in the long term. The quality protein and grain sources found in organic pet foods provide an overwhelming source of nutrients that help your pet’s immune system combat these allergies.

4. Better Digestive System
The lack of chemical and artificial substances found in premium pet foods make organic pet foods less strenuous on your pet’s and allows them to digest the food easier. A transition to an all natural pet diet could end many ailments your pet may have, including vomiting after meals and chronic gas / bloating / diarrhea. Organic pet foods provide your pet with the main nutrients needed for a healthy diet without the chemicals and artificial substances that are found in normal premium brands.

5. Longer Life
The most beneficial factor to switching to an all natural pet food diet would be an increase in your pet’s life span. A healthy lifestyle that comes from an organic pet diet have great long terms effects on your pet’s health and life span, and is an easily transitional way to ensure that your pet lives the long, healthy, enjoyable life that he / she deserves!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released a press release alerting pet owners to refrain from purchasing Pig Ears and Beef Hooves pet treats manufactured by Pet Carousel in fear that the products may be contaminated with Salmonella. The Pet Carousel (based out in Sanger, California) products were manufactured and distributed nationwide, in both bulk and retail packaging, for sale in pet food and retail chain stores.

“The products were manufactured under conditions that facilitate cross-contamination within batches or lots. Although no illnesses associated with these products have been reported, the FDA is advising consumers in possession of these products to not handle or feed them to their pets.

The affected pig ear products were packaged under the brand names Doggie Delight and Pet Carousel. The affected beef hooves were packaged under the brand names Choo Hooves, Dentley’s, Doggie Delight, and Pet Carousel. All sizes and all lots of these products made by Pet Carousel are included in this alert.”

Salmonella is a bacteria that can survive for weeks outside a living body, and can be transmitted by humans to animals and vice versa. Owners handling dry pet food and / or pet treats have the possibility of being infected, and not thoroughly washing their hands after coming in contact with infected treats or any surfaces which may have become exposed to these products. While Salmonella symptoms in humans include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever, pets with Salmonella infections may become lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Some pets that are infected could only show signs of decreased appetite, abdominal pain, and fever. Although the symptoms may not be serious, it is important to note that healthy pets can be carriers of the bacteria, and therefore could infect humans and other animals.

If your pet has consumed any of the affected products or is experiencing any of these symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.
