About Healthy Pet Products

 

pet nutritional products 

While operating my own pet sitting business over an eight year period, I became increasingly concerned about the various health afflictions that I was seeing in my customers’ dogs and cats. The list of ailments appearing over and over again included allergies, itchy skin, ear infections, auto-immune disorders and a multitude of other problems. I began researching these health concerns and discovered that every symptom seemed to point to food and environment. This made perfect sense because I am a firm believer that we are what we eat. It is apparent that our beloved pets are what they eat as well. I had to do something! Ironically there was a local store up for sale that only sold natural pet food and treats. I bought the store in order to spread the word about how important it is to feed quality pet food to our pets. 

I am so excited to introduce you to Meg!!! Originally named Nutmeg which is so appropriate because she is a total Nut and Meg...We adopted her on February 12, 2002. They thought she was around 6 months old but we think closer to a year is more like it. We didn’t know about raw feeding or “What’s really in grocerystore kibble.” till about 6 months after adopting her. There we were heading down the conventional road of low quality kibble, milkbones and conventional medicine. Fortunately, I was in the right place at the right time. I walked into a grooming shop to inquire about their services. Literally, as I walked in I witnessed the owner giving her dog a raw chicken leg. I flipped out and said, “Are you crazy? You are going to kill that dog. Dogs can’t have chicken bones!” The owner proceeded to tell me about raw feeding and it was like somebody flicked a switch on in my head. It made total sense to me that this is their evolutionary diet and what they should be eating for optimum health. I immediately went and bought the recommended books and began feeding Meg raw. 

I am so thankful I did. I don’t have a tear jerking life saving story to tell. What I can say is Meg is different. She has boundless energy spending her days chasing squirrels and chipmunks and occasionally catching one! Her coat is soft as angora, which is the first thing people mention when meeting her. Meg has the clearest eyes, cleanest teeth and ears, is lean and muscular. 

Since then I have been doing research on basic pet nutrition and the pet food industry. I have found that many of the ailments our pets are suffering from these days can be greatly improved or completely eliminated with premium pet foods or raw feeding. I hope you stop in sometime soon to meet Meg, myself and our staff and see what we can offer your pets.
