Everyday we are faced with choices that affect the wellbeing of our lives. Our minds and our bodies are constantly working to provide only the best for our family. The choices that we make carry consequences, good or bad. This is simply a fact of human life. For pet lovers like us, we understand that pets are family, and our choices affect them too.
So, one of the most important decisions that we can make is regarding what our pets eat. Our society is overwhelmed with options. Take a quick walk down the pet aisle of any store and you have an extensive blur of choices laid out in front of you. Each brand explaining with shiny labels, why they are the best food for your pet. The fact remains, that the pet food industry is just that, an industry, and sometimes this industry does not think of the well-being of you or your family.

Pet Wants Edmond is purposely transparent and provides, in great detail, the fresh ingredients they use in each of their homemade recipes. They also map out the recommended amount per serving based on your pet’s weight. No one, not even your pup with a vacuum of a stomach, want’s to eat what they don’t know. Especially if what they are eating is a chemical concoction that can harm them.
Elements found in most main brands like carcinogens, preservatives, and in some cases even heavy metals are extremely toxic to your pet. But, don’t expect the label to highlight any of this. Research is key in finding the right food, just like it is in discovering what we should eat ourselves. Basically, the less processed the better. BHA or Butylated Hydroxyanisole is a type of carcinogen that has been found in some brands, this element is known to cause kidney and liver failure within animals.
The growing statistic of animals harmed by what they are eating is devastating and unneeded. The answer can only be found in the quality of our choices as a pet owner. If the fresher, the better, is what we enjoy, why can’t our pets enjoy that too?
