So you keep thinking that all pet foods are the same? Ok, here are 8 reasons your pet thinks you are a loser:

1. You firmly believe what the pet food name tells you. If it says ‘Premium’ or ‘Choice’ in the name, you believe it and buy it. Hey this company spent millions researching which name will sell the most dog food and cat food who am I to doubt research?

2. You base your pet’s food decision by who has the sweetest commercial. Those cute dogs and cats in the commercial - Awwww, you just have to buy that food.

3. You buy your pet’s food from the same place you buy your food. Excuse me?…this is a grocery store isn’t it? Besides, it says ‘premium’ (reference reason #1) and it’s only $7.00 for a 25 pound bag! Why should you bother to make another stop at that fancy, high priced, special pet store? They all say premium don’t they?

Let A Cat Save Your Life

by Rick

I have always owned dogs, but, recently I have learned, mainly from females influential in my life, the wonder and magic of cats and what they have to offer which is much. A lot of men are ware of cats, perhaps because “dog is man’s best friend”, which we learn from childhood, but, I’ve also learned, so can a cat. Though not always, a cat can be a bit more standoffish than a dog. Patience is required in cases like this. Many cats love their independence and one must “earn their trust”. Once you have, many cats will follow you around like a dog. Of course, most dog owners know it is “love at first bite…of food”. Whomever feeds them is their new mommy or daddy, whereas, with many cats, the first few months is spent trying to figure out what value is there in owning this feline anyway.
