Professionally caring for hundreds of pets comes with a unique birds eye view that not many pet owners realize when only focused on their own pets or household. Many health struggles are not just bad luck or hereditary. It has been glaringly heartbreaking to witness such a high percentage of pets pass away from cancer. It is the #1 cause of death for dogs and very aggressive in cats.
The official US pet cancer rates:
These rates are devastating. Too many pets are plagued with kidney disease and diabetes. An alarming amount have gastrointestinal distress, obesity, or urinary concerns. Just like with us humans, nutrition is a key factor for long term health and can be a precursor for disease. But even more concerning for our pets, the majority of commercialized pet foods on the market are not human grade. What does this mean? It means biologically inappropriate and toxic waste-quality ingredients are legally allowed and often included.
Fortunately many of these illnesses can be avoided or substantially delayed with quality nutrition. While we all wish our beloved pets could live forever, our promise to them can be to give them a healthy, disease-free existence for the majority of the years they are here with us. Even though end of life care may be met with some struggles, we can strive for a long life with minimal vet bills, minimal medications, and minimal suffering. Our goal with nutritional support is to give you the tools and knowledge to make your own informed decisions when it comes to how you feed your furbaby, navigating how nutrition affects disease, working with your vet, and understanding the pet food industry as a whole.
