REAL FOOD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Supplement Your Pet’s Diet with Nutrient-Dense Organic Pet Pâté

Just as with humans, your pet's diet largely determines his or her overall health. Considering today's choices for feeding your pet, we should all be concerned about the health of our pets and their ancestral need for a natural, balanced diet.

Have you noticed that it has become increasingly difficult to determine what's in that bag or can of pet food? When the label says 'chicken', do you know exactly what part(s) of the chicken you're getting? How about 'real meat'? What's more, the 'Guaranteed Analysis' printed on every package is meaningless unless you're willing to do the required calculations. Here's the real truth about your pet's diet: Unless you prepare your pet's food yourself - or purchase it from a trusted source - you really don't know for sure what's in it!

As reflected by their ancestral diets, both cats and dogs require high levels of quality protein to truly thrive. Protein is an important part of every cell. Essential amino acids from quality protein build healthy cells, organs, muscle tissue, enzymes, and hormones. Protein is especially critical for puppies and kittens for growth and for mature animals for maintenance and repair. Fat provides energy, essential vitamins and fatty acids, ideally from natural animal sources. Fatty acids are important for healing, reproduction, normal cell membrane synthesis, and a healthy coat and skin.

Cats' and dogs' natural ancestral diets are full of high-quality protein, animal-sourced fatty acids, fiber, nutrients and variety – a far cry from today's processed pet foods, where low-quality vegetable proteins replace more expensive meat-source ingredients. Unfortunately, wheat gluten is what used to create those consumer - appealing "chunks" and "bites" in canned and dry pet foods.

Dogs and cats both have a nutritional need for meat, bones, and vegetables. They do not – however -have a need for carbohydrates or grains. In fact, in the ancestral diet, grains and seeds were not consumed unless they were pre-digested by their prey. Carnivores, as opposed to herbivores (such as cows), have relatively short, simple gastrointestinal tracts. Unable to make their own, they require all the essential amino acids – the building blocks of protein – from their foods. Plants and starches don't supply a full healthy array of amino acids.

Our pets' bodies are just not designed to cope with large quantities of carbohydrates. Your pet's pancreas is unable to secrete the enzyme needed to split cellulose into glucose molecules. Dogs' and cats' bodies just aren't efficient at digesting, assimilating and utilizing plant material and grains as high quality protein. Unfortunately, feeding this type of unnatural diet can cause chronic inflammation and illness, obesity and other metabolic consequences. Commercial pet foods – especially dry kibble – are loaded with carbohydrates. You'll commonly find rice, corn, barley, potatoes, and starch added to cat and dog food as cheap sources of energy and calories. In fact, it's not unusual to find kibble with over 50 percent carbohydrate content. And here's another thing … corn is one of the most frequently genetically modified 'foods'. Not healthy for you … and not healthy for your precious pet!
