What are Some Alternatives to Commercial Pet Food for Cats and Dogs?
Some pet owners are concerned about the safety and quality of commercially manufactured pet food. It is easy for pet food to become contaminated, because it is usually made from animal and plant material that is not considered to be “food grade,” meaning that it is not suitable for human consumption. For this reason, some pet owners like to make pet food at home, as an alternative to conventional pet food, or to purchase specially prepared alternative pet foods which are made from high quality ingredients. Before you consider changing your pet’s diet, always consult a veterinarian. All pets have unique nutritional needs which should be addressed before making drastic dietary changes. A veterinarian can help you make the right choices for your pet.
