Holistic Cat Food: What Is Holistic Cat Food?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

by Scott Evans

You should definitely consider using holistic cat food for your cat. Holistic cat food is food that has no artificial ingredients in it.

One of the reasons cats live such a short time is because most cat food produces don’t make nutritious food.

The natural life span of cats is actually twenty five to thirty years but the average cat only lives to be seven to ten years old. The nutritional value of most commercial food for felines is equivalent to Twinkies.

Just imagine what would happen to you if you ate nothing but junk food for the next nine years.

Holistic means that the food is free of all unnatural ingredients. Here’s the kicker though, the manufacturers only have to list what they themselves personally put into the meat.

That means that if the meat (I’m using that term loosely) was brought to the plant with preservatives in it that they could still claim that it is preservative free. By law this is okay for them to do.

Using Safe Cat Food Can Double Your Cats Life

by Christine Pinkston

With all of the cat foods that have been recalled, you’re probably wondering if your cat food is a safe cat food. While some cat food on the market today is safe the majority of the cat food actually does your cat more harm then good.

The majority of store bought cat foods have no nutritional value in them at all. What’s worse is that they may actually contain poison. You don’t want your cat to eat poison? Well one of the many meat sources for cat food is dogs and cats that have been put down at the pound.

The problem with this is (other then the obvious that your cat is not a cannibal) is that the poison they use to put the animals down does not cook out when they cook the meat.

Flea Bite

by Donny Yu

For homes infested with fleas, flea bites can be painful annoyances that also carry the risk of disease. The flea, a small insect that preys on humans, cats, dogs and other mammals, feed from blood by tearing into the skin. These bites cause small, round marks on the skin that may bleed freely. Due to the tears in the skin, the bites itch, which encourage scratching and further damage to the skin. This can cause a chain reaction, resulting in the flea bites lingering for up to several weeks. For those who are allergic to flea bites, the small round, red marks turn into rashes, which can swell and itch even more than a standard bite.

There are several things that you can do to combat flea bites. First, make certain you address any pets you own with flea control medicines, such as Advantage, Advantix, and Frontline and Frontline PLUS. These medications, when applied properly to a pet, allow the pet to become walking flea killers, as the fleas die upon exposure to animal treated with one of these medications.
