Fancy pet food
Posted Friday, 08 January 2010 By eric gazin
Dear Dr. Carol, Of course I love my dogs, but the constant churn of new "super" pet food out there has me confused. How much is just marketing and packaging? I personally think organic pet food is just a gimmick, and human grade ingredients may sound good, but I an not at all convinced it helps my dogs be healthier. What should we look for or look to avoid with both wet and dry dog food?

Dear Eric,
I understand and appreciate your thoughts. It is very difficult to weed through all the marketing hype and get honest answers when it comes to quality pet food.
Honestly, it would take a course to answer your question correctly which is exactly why we will be holding a nutritional webinar later this month to address this topic in detail.
The benefit of organic food is that toxins, preservatives and harmful chemicals are not in the food, both by law and by definition of "organic".
Chemically altered commercial diets are certainly a major contributing factor in pets and people developing diseases from kidney and liver failure to cancer. The old saying"You are what you eat" is very TRUE. If you'd like to discuss this with me, give us a call. If not, consider signing up for our nutritional webinar series, for which a sign up page will be available very soon.
Thank you
DR Carol
