Consider this - Domestic animals suffer from a plethora of illnesses and diseases that are virtually absent in wild canine/feline populations. Obesity, dental deterioration, cancer, organ disease, arthritis, autoimmunities, diabetes, and heart and vascular diseases are virtually absent in the wild. But pets with these conditions fill veterinary offices.
The cause, therefore, must be something unique to modernity. It must be something that we force upon pets that is not normal to their natural living circumstance.
The starkest contrast between wild and domestic animals is primarily in the foods consumed.
Wild canines/felines subsist on a number of food sources in their raw unadulterated state. Domestic canines/felines are made to consume heat degraded processed pet foods meal after meal. These foods bear little resemblance to the foods they are genetically designed to consume.
These foods may have the imprimatur of regulators and are called "complete and balanced," but clearly they are not the best pet foods.
You can change that starting today by selecting processed foods that are as close to nature as possible, rotating the diet, and supplementing with raw meats, bones, organs and other whole fresh foods.
Video: Snow Leopard hunting in the wild
Enjoy this video of the magnificent snow leopard. Note its beauty, strength, and athleticism. It can only survive in this harsh environment and catch difficult prey by being in supreme health. Its only food is natural food in its whole raw state. That should tell us all we need to know about nutrition.
Thought for the day: "I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained, I stand and look at them long and long." – Walt Whitman
