Always consider the chewing habits of your particular dog in this decision as well. If your dog is a very aggressive chewer and has a habit of breaking off large pieces of bone and eating them, then it is probably best not to feed him bones.

Please note that these are questions for general information. If you are concerned about a specific health issue with your pet, please contact your veterinarian.

There are a growing number of professionals who believe we should push our pet foods more toward higher meat content foods and less processed formulas with lower amounts of vegetable ingredients.

You can put your cat on a vegetarian diet and she may live a fairly normal life, however, since your cat is a natural carnivore, it may not be as long and healthy of a life as it would be if she were on an animal protein based diet.

WHY GRAIN-FREE?
When was the last time you saw a dog or cat grazing in a wheat field? Mother nature evolved dogs and cats as carnivores as evidenced by the structure of their teeth, jaws and digestive system.
