Easy Green PetsJust like people, green pets are healthier and happier with a natural and non toxic lifestyle. From the chemicals that are present in their food to the pesticides that we put in or on their body, cats and dogs suffer grave consequences of an unatural life which also takes its toll on the environment. The number one most important thing that you can do for your cat or dog is feed them a species appropriate, natural and organic diet. Once you do this, you should no longer have a need for chemicals such as parasiticides for fleas, heartworm, tapeworms, etc., which will lead to a reduction in medical expenses. Although a good quality food will be more expensive short term, you will save a lot of money over time and not have to worry about how safe pet related chemicals actually are. In addition a healthy diet will obviously improve the well being of your pet and significantly extend his or her natural lifespan. As carnivores, dogs and cats thrive on food whose main ingredient is meat. Most brands of cat and dog food list vegetable proteins as the main ingredient which results in ill-health, parasites and skin or fur problems. To respond, we must buy additional, sometimes hazardous, products to combat the consequences of a poor diet.
