Dog and Cat Food
The pet food industry has done such an amazing job of convincing us processed cat and dog food is right for the health of our animal friends that few dog and cat lovers even consider fresh food for their beloved animals. Their animal friends are so loved. The owners will go to any lengths, and yet…
Recently I saw part of a real estate show called Flipping Out. Jeff, a real estate developer, takes on a lot of responsibility. He is superbly original and caring. His staff (and the producers of the show) consider him compulsive and difficult to work with. I don’t see him that way. I see him as a man who is doing a magnificent job with people who aren’t up to his speed. You have to really be on your toes to keep up with him. I see him as taking care of so many people and doing things right.
If the people who work for him and the producers were as sharp as he is, they would have their own business. If he left everything to his staff’s wisdom, he might not have a business. That’s what I think, but that is beside the point. My point is about feeding our beloved animal friends fresh food.
Here is this dear man who loves his cat and dogs with all his heart. He would do anything for them.
Recently his cat wasn’t eating his canned cat food. The cat wasn’t eating it because, not only had the label on the cat food been changed, but Jeff and the cat were sure that the food itself had been altered and cheapened. Jason asked his house assistant to go back to the store etc. and do everything to get the original cat food back.
It never occurred to this wonderful man that he could give his beloved cat real food.
Of course, fresh raw food is the best for cats. Fish, organ meat, ground beef, ground turkey — anything and everything. Add a little olive oil and some fresh parsley, and all cats will thrive.
Of course, fresh raw meat is the best for dogs as well. Add chopped parsley and carrot, and dogs have a diet fit for a king.
How would you like the same processed food day after day? No one would want to continually eat the same thing day after day, and why would anyone consider that balanced?
Here is Jeff, this amazing wonderful man who is brilliant and dedicated and clearly devoted to his animals’ welfare, and it hasn’t once occurred to him that he doesn’t have to feed his cat and dog from a can or a package.
And what about the blessing of the consciousness of the person who prepares the food for his best friends? What about the joy of fixing a meal for these darlings who depend on us? If the positions were reversed, they wouldn’t feed us the same old food day after day.
Okay, now I will get off my soap box.
