URGENT!

Information regarding the health of your dogs, cats and ferrets:

 

 

In recent history, household pets such as dogs, cats and ferrets, have become a victim of a variety of skin ailments, failing livers and kidneys, and even early death.  Did you know many dogs and cats have a natural life expectancy of 20 years?  Not in our modern world!  They are dying younger and younger because of problems within the pet food industry.

 

At the end of WWII there was an overabundance of grains left in storage in the U.S.  The business owners of the grains could not afford to just discard the grains, so they decided to create a commercial pet food, thus getting some return on their investment in the grain.  This started the commercial pet food industry and continues today.

Our dogs, cats and ferrets are lining the pockets of grain farmers. Some grains are cheap (especially corn at times), and buying dog food, cat food and ferret food at the store is much easier for consumers than cooking and creating it themselves.  But what consumers don’t understand is:  we are slowly killing our pets.  Cats, ferrets and dogs are carnivores.  Their systems were not made to eat highly processed grains and pets cannot obtain the necessary nutrients from those grains for good health.  Cats, dogs and ferrets are meat eaters.

Because we are feeding our pets all the wrong things, serious health issues have cropped up! They are getting a pet skin problem like hot spots or itchy skin, we take them to the vet, and the vet gives them the favorite "quick relief" of choice - steroids.  Boom!  The skin problem is gone, everyone is happy, the vet makes money, and our pet is comfortable for a little while.  Surprise!  The skin issue comes back again and the cycle begins all over.  Why?  - Because the steroids "mask" the problem.  Steroids are mainly used as an anti-inflammatory... they do not correct the source of the problem.  What is the problem, you say?  Grain, grain, grain and non-carnivore pet foods.

 

Yes, steroids are a quick fix, but are you aware of what internal damage they are doing to your pet?  We're talking long-term, major health effects here.  Pet diets heavy in grain promote insulin production.  Does your pet suffer from diabetes?  If it doesn't, it may in the future if not given Essential Needs food supplement.  Steroids can cause the following adverse effects in pets:

 

  Increased blood pressure

  Decreased wound healing

  Immune suppression

  Weight gain

  Increased thirst and urination

  Depression, lethargy, weakness

  Increased levels of parathyroid hormone

  Inhibition of platelet aggregation

  Increased secretion of gastric acid, decreased mucus production

  Decreased absorption of iron and calcium from the diet

  Increased deposition of fat in liver cells

  Increased levels of cholesterol

  Thinning of skin and hair, skin atopy

  Appearance of dull, dry hair coat

  Secondary disorders, including:  pancreatitis, Addison's disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal ulceration, epidemia, vicious behavior, viral and bacterial infection
