We adore our pets, and want to keep them healthy and happy - and spoil them rotten sometimes. So we need to make sure that the food we give every day is nutritious and safe. The pet food market has exploded in recent years, and there are excellent foods available. But how to separate the truly great from the great marketing? First, look for the teeny tiny letters "AAFCO" somewhere on the bag. Every bag of food must have an AAFCO statement by law.
Here are the 3 questions you MUST ask your pet food manufacturer. You won't find the answers on that beautiful glossy bag - look for the company's contact information and call their 1-800 number. The best answers according to the World Small Animal Veterinary Association nutrition committee are given.
1. Who formulates the food, and what are their credentials?
If you are satisfied with the answers to these questions, continue feeding with confidence. If you have any doubts after your call, switch brands. For example, the Hills (Science Diet) customer service representative was extraordinarily helpful and open about all the credentials of their employees and the extensive research and testing that goes into their foods. I had two horrible phone calls with a different brand whose reps refused to answer the questions and told me that "normal" pet parents don't ask these questions. So I encourage each and every one of you to hold your pet's food company accountable. Your pet deserves it.

I 100% agree with your information. I also bought a Pet Supplies with the help of the Barkbox Promo Code and this is the best way to buy a pet with a discount. Low prices are normally a real benefit of the e-commerce pet stores which carry pet supplies. Many times the prices are lower and even the quality is better from the online pet supplies shop. Local stores buy from different suppliers who offer discounts for larger orders. Small local stores cannot compete with the purchasing power of the larger nationwide chains. The pricing reflects this problem. 10/14/2019 02:37:37 am

Turmeric also has antioxidant properties that help reduce pain. To use it, you can mix ¼ tsp of turmeric powder with water to make a paste and apply topically to the affected area. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then massage lightly for 1 minute. Then, clean with warm water.

I find it amazing how the mere presence of a furry friend can help you get through the day or provide stress relief when you need it. I have a friend who's having a hard time adjusting to this pandemic, and he's looking for advice on how to unwind once his work is over. I'll be sure to relay this information to him so that he'd consider getting one of those puppies we saw the other day.

Interesting idea, but the dog will eventually lose interest if he isn’t able to catch the hot dog once in a while. It’s the same thing with toy rope tug of war; you have to let them win sometimes.

Nassau County Animal Services does not provide spay and/or neutering of any kind. They received a grant from PetsMart charities for spay/neutering, however those funds only apply to cats and dogs.

Amazing story. Easily you can fall into the trap of simply choosing the cheapest option for your Pet, but being a pet lover you should not compromise with the quality of product and buy only best products available at PetCareRx and more good sites. One with the cutest packaging is not always good.

I appreciate you helping me to understand that pet food needs to be tested for toxins. My wife and I are wanting to get some organic pet food for our new dog that we recently adopted. We will have to make sure that we find a store that sells food that has been tested for toxins.

You made my day reading this. Shelter dogs are wonderful. and yes you certainly can get a purebred if thats what you have your mind st on as some who have bought a purebred and found they werent fitting onto their lifestyle . I have known a number of people who have ‘bought ‘ (it makes me shudder) a Frenchie and they find out the breed is prey driven or perhaps is very high strung. Also buying a dog you are never sure if i involves a puppy mill.
