Okay, great. But which brand of high quality pet food do I buy? There are quite a few out there. I feed my fifty-five pound female lab mix Wellness (Senior Dry Formula). Just look at the ingredient list. It looks like a grocery list: human grade whole chicken, apples, blueberries, tomatoes, spinach, etc. There is nothing you cannot recognize; nothing chemical, all natural and healthy, and everything is geared to be ultra highly digestible so your pet gets every bit of nutrient assimilated into his body.The list includes a veritable rainbow of powerful antioxidants. They add chelated vitamins and minerals. Wellness takes the extra step to chelate them because that process makes them highly absorbable. They’ve got a beneficial ratio omega 3 and 6 fatty acids (flaxseed). Wellness is also one of the only dog foods to include probiotic bacteria (healthy gut bacteria), which aids in digestion and helps to inhibit the growth and activity of disease-producing organisms. Oh, here is a nice thing for us humans – they add yucca schidigera. A plant extract that while providing a healthy environment for good gut bacteria in your pet, it binds to ammonia thus reducing fecal odor and gas, which makes it a lot more pleasant cleaning the yard. My husband loves that!The senior formula I feed my girl is a thoughtful blend of ingredients that support the special needs of older dogs. They reduce the fat and phosphorus so aging hearts and kidneys don’t have to work as hard. They also put in natural glucosamine HCL and chondroitin sulfate from New Zealand Green Mussel and Sea Cucumber which helps maintain cartilage in aging joints. They also have quite an array of other formulas including a Whitefish and Sweet Potato for very allergic dogs.Wellness is oven-baked and human grade, and it never contains corn, wheat, wheat gluten, dairy, egg, ethoxyquin, BHA, BHT, by-products or anything artificial.I wish I ate this healthy! My girl is eleven, and everyone thinks she is two or three! Where can I buy the stuff?You can run around checking the local pet stores to see if they sell it or… You can click on the link below and you will discover as we did an amazing company that not only sells Wellness pet food but can customize and pack pre-measured single serving dog or cat meals with your pets name on it AND pack the exact single dose of whatever medications or supplements your pet needs! This simplifies feeding time for your kids, the sitter, and you! And it makes traveling with your companion a breeze! Check them out! And get this¦ they only charge a flat rate $6.95 for shipping no matter what you buy (yes, even dog food!) and no matter how much you buy, whether it’s one bag of dog food or twenty bags of dog food. Unbelievable. My girl and I swear by them! May all your four-legged children be healthy.And remember, no chocolate, no onions, no raisins, no grapes, and one I just learned about is no avocados.

Benefits of Wellness Pet Food

It’s important now more than ever to be educated about the foods your pet eats, particularly the benefits of feeding it wellness pet food alternatives than the commercial brand name pet foods. Wellness pet food alternatives are always prepared fresh, either by yourself in your own home, or by professional companies that have a serious investment in keeping your pet happy and healthy for a long time.

With the events and tragedy of the recent large scale pet food recall, are you searching for wellness pet food alternatives to the brand name pet foods that sit on your local grocer’s shelves?
We are going to examine some of alternative food sources for your pet that fit different lifestyle and schedule needs. Let’s face it, in this day and age, not everyone has the leisure of having the extra time to spend on even researching this, but we can all agree that it’s of vital importance to know your best options when it comes to safely feeding your pet a strong, balanced and healthy diet. There are solutions for all lifestyles, so let’s get started.

One of the first options, and most intensive, for feeding your pet a healthy and strong diet is to cook homemade pet food using recipe books found both online and in the bookstore. These recipes range from meals that any novice could create to a 5-star chef.

One word of note/caution though.

Be sure to do some research on who it is that is now instructing you on how to feed your pet. Not all foods that are healthy for humans are healthy for your pet. And most importantly, the best research you can do is on the breed of dog or cat that you are feeding. From the reading I’ve done, it’s best to create as close to the originally natural diet of your pet as you can. After all, that diet is what they’ve evolved and survived on, so the logic would tell you that their best health would come from a replicated, natural diet. Make sure that what you’re feeding your pet not only appears healthy, but actually IS healthy for them.

The second alternative is finding smaller, more conscientious companies that manufacture high quality, non-preservative pet foods. These “designer” pet food products typically are produced in MUCH smaller batches on a weekly or monthly basis to ensure the quality of the food being sold. In other words, what you’re buying hasn’t been sitting in a truck or warehouse for months, if not years.

This is definitely the best solution for the busy families of America today. Not all of us have the time to even cook for our families, let alone our fuzzy companions. Although the cost is higher than commercial pet foods, the quality level of the ingredients and preparations in comparison to the commercial pet “junk food”, as I like to call it, is miles apart.

Take a look at some wellness pet food alternatives WellnessPet Food Petfooddirect that can fit inside of your lifestyle and serve to keep your pet healthy.

Overall, if you look at the added cost of the health issues created through malnutrition, let alone the proven decrease in your pet’s lifespan, on a commercial pet food diet, the apparent increased costs of a healthier, more wholesome diet for your pet actually isn’t that much more than you would end up paying anyhow.

But what you get is a longer living, happier, healthier pet for you and your family to enjoy.
Happy pet time! :)

I’d love to hear from you,
