Holistic Pet Care

Hey Melody,

I agree, and I have my dogs and cats on raw diet as well. I believe that I am extending their life spans, especially the older and neglected dogs I adopt who come in terrible condition. After a few months they are so healthy and active.

There is a great book available on deciphering ingredients in commercial pet foods, raw diet, vaccines and other meds from the vets and lots of holistic remedies from you pantry. You can get a copy at www.paw-press.com ~ a true eye-opener...

Have a nice day everyone.
