Holistic Pet Food and Supplementation

I am a huge advocate for natural remedies, natural healing, homeopathy and so on. With so many man-made chemicals in pretty much everything we injest, even water, it’s important for me (and my cats) to eat only healthy, organic food – where possible. And I have to say that because of this, my cats have been incredibly healthy with no serious issues to go to the vet with.

But as you know, some cats are just pre-disposed to certain illnesses. Just as some breeds of cats (and dogs) are prone to certain health issues.

Naturally Savvy

While reading my morning Tweets (twitter.com), a recent follower posted a link to her website, Naturally Savvy. Of course I went to visit!

So take a stroll over to Naturally Savvy and read up on natural living with your pets!

Holistic Cat Foods

Don’t confuse Holistic with Organic. There is a distinction. Holistic means management of foods in an ecological manner above and beyond going back to simpler, more natural methodology. Organically managed food basically means the land and resources are used in a more natural manner (grain fed, no additives or pesticides etc). One might say Holistic is a way of life, while organic is just a better diet. Either is much better than the typical grocery store brands (like Iams which also makes Eukaneuba, or Friskies and Whiskas).

Here’s an article that defines the differences between Organic and Holistic (and its similarities).

When you put the word Organic on human food, you can pretty much guarantee double the price. Here’s a good example. Of course things will vary for different countries. The same can apply to holistic pet foods. Some are quite expensive, but when you read further you may see why I personally feel that anything holistic rather than a grocery store brand is better. You do get what you pay for after all.
