If you are like me (and most likely you are or you wouldn't be reading this) we want to provide everything we can to extend the life of our animal family members as long as possible. I do care about how your animals are feeling and therefore, I am sharing about a topic that comes up frequently in my consultations.
One of top questions that people have about their pets is how their food is affecting them.
I often sense that animals are craving what is referred to as "genetically appropriate" or "species specific food". For example, most cats and dogs that I consult on are seeking protein rich diets.
Animals with diets that rely heavily on dry kibble tend to express a "craving" for meat protein. Animals expressing this desire for meat are often also experiencing health and/or emotional issues, sometimes even leading to behavioral problems. These issues can range anywhere from more minor matters to serious problems.
It seems as though almost on a weekly basis, I receive another notice about contaminated pet food. This is one of the many reasons that I prefer to feed my animals primarily raw based diets. There are many forms of these diets as well as pre-packaged raw foods available at many pet stores. For more information about feeding a raw based diet this is a great place to start!:

Dr. Susan Klein is a veterinarian specializing in the field of nutrigenics and a proponent of species specific diets. Nutrigenics looks at how genetics and nutrition interact for an individual. Dr. Klein also refers people to animal communicators to assist in determining what might be impacting an animal's health. "What's happening with commercial pet food is it's sourced from ingredients unfit for human consumption, including the remains of '4D' animals — dead, dying, diseased, disabled," states Dr. Klein in this extremely informative interview! http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2017/04/02/right-food-longer-lived-pet.aspx
I often see striking similarities between the health of animals and their pet parents. Animals often provide a mirror for people to recognize their own health problems. I have seen consistently that pet parents who choose to eat a healthy diet themselves frequently also feed their pets healthy choices and both are reaping the benefits.
The above information is not intended to take the place of doing your own research as well as consulting with a veterinarian to find the right fit for your animal. I came to the decision to feed my animals a raw diet through extensive research, veterinarian consults, and good old fashion trial and error. The benefits of a healthy pet diet are not only a happier healthier pet, but you may prolong the life of your cherished family member.
