Why Natural Ingredients Are So Important for Cats

Cats are our best friends. They are with us through good times and bad. They love us unconditionally. Naturally, we want to take care of them the best way possible. This means giving them quality food and grooming products. Quality food and grooming products start with natural ingredients. The natural products help keep our cats healthy and happy. They help us do the right thing for the planet we live on.

Harmful Chemicals in Food and Shampoo

We naturally shy away from harmful ingredients in our food and in our personal grooming products. We know that these chemicals can provide lasting damage to our bodies. We avoid them and look for alternatives. The same should apply to how we look at cat products.

The Quality of Typical Cat Food

Many commercial cat foods are merely a mixture of ingredients designed to meet a minimum standard. Natural ingredients cost too much for the bean counters at these large manufacturers. Food is made with an analysis checklist to make the cheapest food possible. Cat food manufacturers pay scant concern to how they meet the minimum nutritional requirements.

Cat Food Scare of 2007

The pet food scare of 2007 highlighted this general lack of concern about quality ingredients. Melamine and cyanuric acid were mixed with wheat and rice proteins to artificially increase their protein level. Manufacturers were only concerned that specific numbers were maintained, not on potential health issues with using these harmful chemicals. This focus on the numbers caused the death and suffering of at least 8500 pets in the US alone, according to the FDA.

Natural Cat Food is Different

Natural cat food concentrates on all natural ingredients. The food ingredients closely mimic a dog or cat’s natural diet. Natural food chefs selectively choose quality ingredients that not only meet but exceed the nutrition requirements of the family cat. Foods with excessive pesticides or other reside are avoided. The natural cat food is made with a holistic approach that focuses on not only meeting survival nutritional needs but also the nutrition requirements to help your cat. thrive.

We know that our diet is better when we consume natural products. We knows that chemical food residues are unhealthy and that substandard ingredients cause long term health problems. Feeding our cats junk commercial cat food is analogous is eating McDonald’s 3 times a day.

Pet Shampoo Chemicals

Pet shampoos contain ingredients like sodium laureth sulfate, cocamide DEA, formaldehyde, propylene glycol, and methylchloroisothiazolinone. They are carcinogens, skin irritants and poisons. You probably wouldn’t have them in your own shampoo. Why buy a pet shampoo that relies on these harmful chemicals? Bathing pets in this brew could make them physically worse than before you gave them a bath.

Natural Shampoo Alternatives

Natural shampoos clean your cat in all natural way so they have a healthy clean. They contain the ingredients that help bring out their coat’s natural shine. They contain natural ingredients to fight fleas and ticks. They leave your cat smelling fresh and clean without chemical odors. In fact, the best smelling dog shampoo is an all natural shampoo.

Protect the Environment

All natural cat foods and cat shampoos not only help keep your cats happier and healthier, they are also good for the environment. Companies release harmful chemicals to the environment when they produce these products. We release harmful chemicals to the environment when we use these products. This results in lasting environmental impacts. It’s unsustainable, it affects our health, and it affects the health all the creatures living in our ecosystem.

Natural ingredients are so important to our cats and their health. Harmful ingredients can rob our cats of their vitality. They rob our best friends of their full potential. Using cat products made with all natural ingredients show how much we love our cats and are concerned for their well-being.
