Is there any scientific research data showing that natural/organic foods ensure a longer and healthier life?
The availability of organic pet foods is so new that studies have not been undertaken to demonstrate the benefits associated with feeding these diets to dogs and cats. However, the absence of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, growth hormones, antibiotics and bioengineering in the organic ingredients is viewed as being a true health benefit to dogs and cats. Similarly, the absence of chemicals and chemically synthesized ingredients in natural pet foods is considered a health benefit with studies available tying certain chemicals to the emergence of more cases of, for example, cancer.
