Our pet dogs and cats deserve a diet that will promote good health and a long life. In other words, they deserve a diet that is nutritious, healthy, safe and in line with the type of food they have evolved over thousands of years, to eat.  

From Singapore to Australia to the U.S.A., we have seen the proliferation of all sorts of commercially processed pet food, in the last 20 to 80 years. I do not doubt the convenience of feeding kibbles, canned food or semi-moist food from a pack. I was guilty of such feeding but that was because I believed the marketing hype of pet food companies that said that their products are complete & balanced and that ONLY they know how to properly feed our pets.  

With the mass invasion of such foods to our shores also saw a significant jump in our pets having all sorts of health problems. Pet dogs and cats began dying at relatively young ages from cancer, kidney failure, heart failure, diabetes, bloat, etc. That’s not to forget the more frequent cases of ill-health like skin allergies, hip and elbow dyplasia, pancreatic & bowel problems, poor dental health, etc.

It was only when I seriously looked into this issue that I realised What’s Really in Pet Food. This report and many other articles highlighted to me that grain-based commercial pet foods are NOT health promoting and in fact, are the cause of many of the health problems that we see in our pets today!  

Why?  In their long evolutionary history, dogs and cats have thrived on diets based around fresh meaty bones and NOT grains or cereals. In addition, these diets were mainly raw because they contained live enzymes, natural anti-oxidants, fully digestible proteins from animal sources, health promoting essential fatty acids, organic vitamins and minerals, etc. They were definitely not the carbohydrate-filled diets of modern processed pet food which contribute to obesity, diabetes, heart diseases and a whole host of other health problems.  

As humans, we all know that if we were to eat a daily diet of fried chicken, hamburgers, canned food and biscuits, we will still survive but our health will definitely not be good in the long term. However, as human owners of our pets, we have accepted the responsibility the be the guardian of our pets’ lives. That also means to provide them with the means to live optimally healthy lives, right ?  

Our pets are our family members and should be treated as such. Think about how you are feeding your kids and yourself and think about what you are feeding your pets. Not one single member of your family should be deprived of a healthy diet and the means to live a happy life.  

Manufacturers of modern processed pet foods and their allies will tell you that raw diets may not be safe and lack scientific testing. But you only have to look at the brilliant health of many BARF-fed pets to make up your own minds. Such pets will not have food-related skin diseases, poor dental health, large volumes of foul-smelling stool, frequent bouts of diarrhoea, digestive upsets, bone and skeletal problems.  

Instead, they will have shiny and glossy coats, great teeth & nice smelling breath, much reduced need to visit the vet and most importantly, have the energy for a new zest for life.  The answer here is very simple – they are being fed the kind of diet that has allowed them to thrive and reproduce successfully as a species for thousands of years.
