Pets Can’t Make the Same Choices

People love their pets…just as they would any other member of the family. I mean, we buy things for them such as food, toys, collars and more. We feed, bathe, and groom them. We take them to the vet for their yearly vaccinations. And, we can even purchase health insurance for them. I mean - they are like our little people, right?

Absolutely! Our pets are special. They are different for many reasons, but we know that they love us unconditionally, even when they’re scolded. After all, we love them, and we raise them to be responsible and respectable around other people and other pets. We teach them to be well behaved in almost every situation.

We hurt when they hurt, and they absolutely can communicate with their people-parents. All you have to do is look into their eyes, and they will speak to you.

Why am I writing this article? Well, I guess that through my own personal experiences, I have discovered something that I would like to share with other pet owners.

We’ve all become aware that we now need to pay more attention to what we’re feeding them because of that awful tragedy last year with pet foods. On top of that, we drug them with yearly vaccinations, monthly heart pills and flea treatments, and some get more prescription medications for other ailments. It’s a sad world. Sounds just like humans: take a pill for this, take a shot for that.

But I believe that there is a link between human cancer and animal cancer. What is the one thing that human’s have in common with animals? Man-Made Chemicals.

So, reality check. What are you giving your pet? Do you really know the side effects of that heart-pill, or flea control, or even the food that you give them each day? What is in that water that you provide? Have you ever thought to ask? You would be horrified if you did research on what is used in commercial dog food - and I do mean horrified! And flea control? It’s only been tested for weeks at a time - not long term studies.

Man made chemicals are all around us. We breathe it, we consume it, and we bathe in it. But WE have a choice. Animals don’t. They depend on us to keep them happy and healthy!

I admit that we can’t get away from yearly vaccinations because of our local laws, but you can try natural alternatives to monthly heart-worm medications and flea control or even allergies. You can also find healthy foods for your pet. It’s out there.

But one thing you absolutely can do right now to ensure your pets good health is to provide a natural supplement in their diet so they receive the necessary nutrients they need. Animals aren’t so different from us; they also need the vitamins and minerals to maintain not only their health, but a healthy coat, teeth, eyes, and immune system.

That is the one thing that I believe we can do in today’s world, find a way to keep you and your pet healthy! Their little bodies were designed just like ours; to fight its’ own battle with disease and infection.

Be a good pet-parent to your animal. You’ll be happier for it!
