Because of healthy diets, our pets are living longer. As they age it is very important to understand that their nutritional needs change. Here are two new lines carried at Green Pet

Evo is the first ever grain free, low carb dry pet food. It closely resembles ancestral diets and helps maintain a healthy body weight in pets and the management of diabetes mellitus. Because it contains no grains, it helps to minimize food allergies that sometimes result in skin, coat, and stomach problems.  Click to read more on their website

The formulation is built to encourage a stronger immune system, better joint strength, flexibility and overall better health.  Click to read more on their website

1.  The most important way to be a green pet owner is to adopt.  Rescuing a discarded pet is one of the most humane actions you can take to help animals and the planet. According to the Humane Society, “Four million cats and dogs—about one every eight seconds—are put down in U.S. shelters each year. Often these animals are the offspring of cherished family pets.” The green pet owner will rescue and re-home a displaced dog or cat rather than buy one.

2.  Whether you rescue, find, or adopt your beloved pet, the next best way to be a "green" pet owner is to spay or neuter.  In doing so, you are taking an active role in helping to control the pet population.

3.  Buy pet foods that are all-natural or organic.

4.  Purchase toys and other pet products that are made with natural, organic or recycled materials.

5.  With all purchases, buy close to home. Purchase products that are sustainable and don't have to be replaced often. Apply those same principles to products for your pet, and you'll make an even more positive impact on the environment.

What are you doing to be a green pet owner?

You may think the cost of feeding your dog or cat natural foods exceeds the benefit.  I hear that excuse all the time.  "Leslie, I would love to feed my dog healthier food, but I can’t afford it!"

What you may not know is that feeding an all-natural and holistic food to your pet can  actually save you money and aggravation in the long run.  Really!  How, you ask? First, you feed much less food—about 20% to 40% less,  because the food is all natural with no fillers, no by-products or chemical preservatives.

Second, you will significantly reduce your vet expenses and the need for harmful medications to treat your pets' resulting allergies and immune system disorders.  Allergies are the number one reason for vet visits. Symptoms include, but are not limited to--itchy skin and eruptions, inflamed ears, excessive licking on body, digestive upsets (gurgling, gas and diarrhea), inflammation of the toes, and an irritated rear end due to licking and rubbing on the floor.

In addition, feeding all-natural products will greatly reduce the physical and mental speed of premature aging in your pets, which is often associated with a lifetime of poor nutrition. Several degenerative diseases, such as cancer, kidney disease, heart disease, arthritis, skin problems, bowel problems, and even diabetes can be directly impacted by diet.  

Unfortunately, most vets receive little education in vet school on canine and feline nutrition. At Green Pet, our philosophy is that nutrition and preventative care are  essential for animals— just as they are for humans.
