Roger Biduk “Pet food companies fool pet owners into thinking that all grain-free pet foods are good. Many manufacturers take out the grains and instead of adding more expensive meats they load up on cheap starches like potatoes, potato meal, cornstarch, wheat starch, rice starch, sago starch, sorghum starch, tapioca, potato starch, peas, pea fiber, etc. Starches are carbohydrates and are hard to digest. They metabolize into glucose (sugar) and convert into fat resulting in health problems such as periodontal disease, hypoglycemia, hyperactivity, diabetes, obesity, cataracts and allergies (to name just a few) and may lead to premature death.”
“It’s estimated that there’s a total of around 120 million cats and dogs in the U.S. Considering some holistic veterinarians who are experts in animal nutrition say that 90% of ingredients in pet foods are “inappropriate” and cause illness and disease in cats and dogs it’s a wonder there’s still any of these pets around.” Roger Biduk
While good grain-free pet foods containing no corn, wheat, soy and other dangerous and cheap fillers may carry a price tag higher than your average supermarket brand, this is more than offset by the following:
-
Cost for food will come down because your pet will now be eating less (up to 40% less) because of the healthy, wholesome ingredients compared to foods made from nutritionally worthless fillers.
-
No more visits to the vet because of illnesses or death as a result of feeding your animal companion nutritionally worthless food that is slowly killing them (saving you thousands of dollars) .
-
And most important, the emotional satisfaction and peace of mind (which you cannot measure or put a price tag on) knowing your animal companions will lead a long, energetic & healthy life (20 years +) because of what you are feeding them.
Since I’ve been feeding raw meats and quality grain-free foods to my cats and dog I’ve NEVER, EVER seen happier, healthier or more energetic animals in my life and they’ve NEVER, EVER had to go to the vet because of any food-related illness …..!!!
“Steroids and corticosteroids (cortisone-type anti-inflammatory drugs) are the most over-prescribed, dangerous and most abused drugs for cats and dogs. Stay away from veterinarians who prescribe these. These drugs don’t cure the real problem, which is the underlying problem and usually make things worse.” Roger Biduk
