Although the pet industry generates billions of dollars of sales each year, and most people spending on pets think of them as part of the family, not all of the items qualify as natural pet products. While things like foods and treats with meat-based ingredients seem like the “natural” and obvious choice for pets (NOTE: dogs are omnivores who can survive on meatless diets, but many vets argue against this way of eating, and cats cannot survive as vegetarians and require meat), not all meat based foods and snacks are natural or healthy.
Some of the key benefits of giving your dog, cat, gerbils, fish ,and other non-human family members natural pet products come from their use of better ingredients. To demonstrate that, let’s consider the most significant benefits enjoyed by animals treated with natural pet products:
- No toxins – The words natural and organic are not the same, but when something is authentically natural, it contains no chemical ingredients, no toxins, and often no by-products or fillers that are such an underlying cause of issues like allergies, inflammation ,and disease
- Fewer health issues – As noted, when animals are supplied with foods, treats, and even toys and bedding without any toxins, they do not suffer from the sorts of allergies or illnesses that these agents can create. From pesticides to artificial ingredients, animals are identical to us and don’t always respond well to them.
- Longer lives – When you are not exposed to toxins, irritants, allergens and other problems, you are far more likely to enjoy a longer ,and healthier life. We can do that for our pets by giving them only the most natural products
- Higher quality of life – If you encounter animals given natural pet products, they often have a higher amount of energy, healthier weights, shinier coats, better digestion, healthier teeth ,and eyes, and just feel better. They are not gassy or dealing with tummy issues ,and they are operating at a level that they should
- More affordable – This seems unusual but is true. By spending more on natural products, you end up saving on things like veterinary bills and lots of medications and other health issues caused by less natural ingredients or materials.
If you are eager for your dog, cat or other pets to enjoy the longest and healthiest lives possible, consider going all natural. At Earth Pets, pet owners in the Jacksonville can easily transition their pets to a healthier way of life…and a tastier one too!
