Puppy/Dog, Kitten/Cat - Why NOT Separate Formulas?

Friday, April 15, 2005
Over the years, commercial pet food companies have come up with some of the most confusing variations in which formula to feed our pets, especially when it comes to our precious puppies and kittens. This can be compared to getting a cold and not quite sure whether you should purchase the  cold medicine for sniffles, coughs, runny nose, fever, allergy, non-drowsy, alcohol free, headaches, sneezing, and all the other slew of symptoms nasty colds allow us to experience.

Have you ever stood in the cold medicine aisle in your pharmacy, just staring at all the products available to you, trying to decide which one is the best one for your  present symptom(s)? If you're not nodding your head up and down, then you're braver than most of us!

Why all the confusion by the pet food companies? Because they're trying to out-do the competition with the best formula, cutest puppy & kitten pictures, most  colorful packaging, great price, still neglecting to tell you that their 'baby' food contains harsh chemicals and by-products, that will set the stage for the future adult  health of your pet, which is why most pets, who have been fed commercial food since day one, have so many health problems as adults today!

Now for the simple truth, if a food is high quality (and all natural), there is no need to feed a puppy or kitten food separately. Our favorite and most popular natural  food, HealthyPetNet's Life's Abundance, was formulated, fed and tested according to nutritional profiles of AAFCO (American Association of Feed Control  Officials) for ALL stages of life; puppy/kitten and senior included.

While many people think that puppies and kittens need more calcium than adults, according to AAFCO, both 'baby' and adult food requires a 1/1 ratio of calcium  to phosphorous; which is what the above-mentioned foods contain. These foods are also great for seniors because they are highly digestible and contain high quality  protein that seniors require. HPN's line also contains powerful antioxidants, namely ActiVin™, which is derived from grape seed extract, a safe and potent antioxidant.

All natural and holistic foods such as HealthyPetNet's Life's Abundance, are excellent alternatives to those pet owners who don't have the time to feed a homemade  or raw diet, or who are still in the research process of learning how to feed a homemade or raw diet.

So, if you're already feeding an all natural & holistic food to your adult baby, then feel great about feeding it to your baby-baby!  *smile*
