How to Pick the Best Pet Food with The Natural Pet Doctor

Have you ever stood in the middle of the pet food aisle wondering how to pick the best food for your dog and cat?

There are hundreds of brands and options for your dog and cat. The bags have beautiful pictures of whole, real food and happy pets, but you’re just not sure if that food will help your pet.

You turn the bag around and look at the ingredient list and like that meat is the first ingredient. However, did you know that there are many little tricks that pet food companies will use to engage with the consumer and make their pet foods look extra appealing, but in reality that food may be seriously lacking.

We are here today to empower you as a pet parent to know what to look for when you are looking at the labels and assessing the different foods on the market.

In this video, we cover 8 main areas to assess when looking at pet food:
– Why your pet’s age, lifestyle and breed matter
– Concurrent diseases
– Knowing the buzz words
– How to read ingredients
– What does grain-free mean
– Home-made diets
– What is an AAFCO statement
– Pet food recalls

Looking for more help with figuring out how to utilize nutrition, supplements and herbal medicine into your pet’s life to optimize health?

ABOUT Dr. Katie Woodley – The Natural Pet Doctor
=====

I am a small animal veterinarian who developed a passion for natural medicine while I was living in New Zealand. My vet career was lucky enough to begin in the beautiful country of New Zealand. I was able to see how living off the land by growing our own vegetables and raising our own animals was the way to live the healthiest versions of ourselves. My pets were lucky to have lots of open space to run around in, and we were always at the beach or the river.

When we moved back to the States five years ago, my husband unfortunately developed an autoimmune disease. As we researched natural medicine options for him to avoid the horrible side effects of the treatment options his doctors were providing him, I realized that I was doing a disservice to my animal patients by not offering these holistic options to them. I began down the integrative medicine route, and I have never been happier. Through nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, essential oils, and supplements, every animal can achieve optimal health or feel their best even when they have a chronic illness or disease like cancer. I currently have my certification in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and I am continuously learning about the other natural modalities and growing my knowledge base every day!

I started this business to provide pet owners with more resources for natural medicine advice and care, because we need to increase awareness of how amazing natural medicine truly is! My mission is to ensure that all pet parents have access to herbal medicine, supplementation and nutritional advice throughout their pet’s lifetime. One of my greatest joys is the opportunity to collaborate with both pet parents and other veterinary professionals to ensure access to all available integrative options for pet health care.
