Organic Dog Food – A Healthy Choice For Pet Owners

There is no denying that organic food is becoming more and more mainstream. Many grocery stores have incorporated organic choices for many staples and people are choosing them for their health benefits as well as their eco-friendly tendencies.

Because the American dog is part of our family, it is no surprise that concerned pet owners are starting to choose organic dog foods over traditional pet foods. This correlates to the human transition to organic, but also has increased dramatically after the world wide pet food scare where many of our pets became sick or died due to poisonous additives.

There became an awareness of all USDA approved items that are allowed in pet food. Items such as animal heads, spleens, lungs and blood – the thought of feeding these to your pets can be frightening. Even worse is the list of pesticides and hormones that are transferred to our pets from this food.

Is it no surprise that as we have added animal by-products, fillers, chemicals and preservatives that our pets are now suffering from diabetes, tumors and cancer at an alarming rate? There can be no denying that our pets are suffering from diseases that years ago were only seen rarely.

The best defense to these issues is an organic diet. Using main ingredients such as human grade meat, fresh vegetables and grains will ensure your pet is receiving the proper nutrition they need while not being exposed to chemicals, additives or fillers.

With more and more issues cropping up for regular dog food, new recalls seem to happen so frequently that they are no longer headline news. This is just one more reason why it is important to make wise choices for our dogs. The safest choice for your dog’s health is organic dog food.
