By now you've surely heard about "by-products" in pet foods.

You know that pet food is not regulated the same way human grade food is, and things like eyeballs, intestines, feet, beaks, feathers, euthanized cattle, pigs, cats and dogs, etc...are allowed to be in pet foods ( that also includes their collars, metal ID tags and any medications the animal had in his or her system at time of death).

These types of pet foods contribute to poor health conditions like obesity, dental problems and skin and coat issues, just to name a few. When you feed your dog premium pet food, holistic foods, home cooking, or a raw diet your pet's overall health will improve, including food allergies and skin conditions--some experts believe the risk of certain cancers can even decrease with premium food and vitamin supplements.

Below is a list of foods that, to our knowledge, are holistic and/or free of pesticides, chemicals, by-products, and artificial preservatives, like BHA, BHT, and Ethoxyquin which are linked to cancers!
