There is nothing more confusing to pet owners than the nutrition labels on pet food, the conflicting information you see in TV advertisements, the information you get from sales people at the big box pet food stores, and the opinions and recommendations from their own Veterinarians.   And yet, the most important decision a pet owner makes each and every day is what food to put in their beloved pets bowl.  Our pets depend on us to make a good choice for them. We at Natural Pet Pantry have solved this problem by getting back to basics.  We believe that humans are not really capable of “creating” food that is anywhere close to the healthy, fresh, and nutrient-rich food that is found in nature.  We believe we are what we eat, and that is true for our pets too. Our meals for dogs and cats are made from fresh, human edible, high quality whole foods in their natural form. We know that raw food is the most biologically appropriate option for our dog and cat companions, and for families that are unable to feed raw, gently cooked is the next best option. It is a FACT that dogs and cats evolved over tens of thousands of years to consume whole prey.  The last 50 years of human-created processed dry kibble and canned food is a blip in their ancestral history, and while it’s probably good enough for your pet to survive, it’s not what your pet needs to thrive.  There is so much lost during the high heat, high pressure cooking used to create processed kibble and canned options. The benefits from the whole food nutrients in raw food as well as the active enzymes that help with digestion and other metabolic functions is visible, tangible, and real.  Once people make the switch to raw food most report numerous improvements in their animal’s health including shinier coat, better breath, weight loss or improvement of muscle tone, more energy, and the disappearance or improvement of many chronic health issues.
