If your cat or dog is suffering from a persistent or incurable illness, then I sympathize with you.
It is very difficult to watch an animal that we love experience pain or discomfort and feel there is nothing we can do to help.
The goal of this article is to share some successes I have had dealing with my own precious animals.
Persistent conditions such as skin sores, sinus problems and urinary infections could very likely be caused by the type of food your furry friend is eating.
You may or may not know, but many commercial cat and dog food brands are filled with artificial colors, preservatives and nasty by-products.
Pet food companies will take whatever is left on the slaughterhouse floor and put it in cat and dog food.
It is even rumored that road kill is rendered down and used for pet food.
Cats and dogs can easily develop allergies and chronic conditions as a result of these additives and the poor quality of these foods.
The good news is that there are high quality pet foods on the market.
You may have to visit your local health food store or place a special order.
Look for food that contains no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors, and uses fresh, hormone-free ingredients.
You can also purchase cat and dog treats that are natural, even the kind meant to control tartar.
What I noticed when I switched my cats to natural food was fewer hairballs, no more skin conditions and overall better health.
This special food is more expensive, but since it contains no fillers, animals get fuller using less.
In the long run, when you see your pet feeling better, you will know its worth.
