Dry Cat Food Will Ruin Your Cat's HealthGuidelines and Recipes for Creating Healthy CatsDry Cat Food is a Timebomb for your CatIf your cat has been living on dry cat food, it's only a matter of time before its kidneys start to fail. If your cat is young and healthy, it may be several years before the inevitable effects of poor nutrition and dehydration manifest in your cat. If your cat is middle age, it could be soon. If you doubt that dry cat food is a nutritional disaster, please take a moment to consider the biological facts described below. You will understand why most cat food producers spend so much money on advertising and so little on the ingredients in the food they sell. Imagine the health of a child raised totally on fast food! When your cat starts having kidney problems, you can expect a slow decline in health and vitality, lots of trips to the vet, and various kinds of treatments that can be expensive and offensive to your cat. The decline becomes very distressing to your cat and heart-breaking to the people who love the cat. Unless you euthanize your cat, you will witness the slow death that is unpleasant to all involved. The trips to the vet are stressful and time-consuming. You may see days or weeks of improvement – but the trend is always down. The bottom line is: kidney failure can be prevented and sometimes reversed, but you have to put your cat on a diet that improves vitality and reverses past damage immediately. Background
Cats are Carnivores. They eat Meat. These stunningly obvious statements are not surprising. But what is surprising is that the pet food industry continues to put wheat and rice in dry cat food. Dry cat food is largely non-meat ingredients. Why would they do this? Because it is cheap. Pet food makers are focused on making great profits, not great pet food. They make great profits with cheap ingredients and great advertising. They invest the money in advertising, so you'll forget about the important questions, such as: why is there so little meat in the cat food? With clever commercials on TV and likeable cats stuck in your memory, you'll buy the dry cat food with a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your heart. Ads use descriptions like "organic cat food" and "contains fresh vegetables" to appeal to health-conscious people. You'll likely never hear about the really unpleasant news, like what happens when untested cheap ingredients cause a pet health disaster. For example, in 2007, Menu Foods (who makes most pet food) added melamine to the wheat gluten in pet food to boost the protein level of non-meat ingredients. Unfortunately, the world found out that melamine is poisonous to pets, especially cats, and many thousands died. The cat food recall happened too late for many fine cats. Meat is the only natural cat food. This may offend some people, but it is a biological fact. Cats get most of their moisture from their food. Domestic cats originated in the deserts of Africa. They lived on small prey, especially rodents like mice. This is unpleasant to imagine, but when a cat catches a mouse, the cat is usually eats the whole rodent. In this way, the desert dwelling cat has always gotten moisture from its prey. Cats rarely drink large amounts of water, unlike dogs. Cats depend on their food (prey) for moisture. Why is this little known fact important? Because dry cat food contains almost no moisture. Cats that live on dry food start becoming dehydrated at an early age. This prevents their kidneys from eliminating the waste in their urine. Eventually the cats start showing the signs of kidney disease and kidney failure. Kidney problems are common in cats these days. Now you know why. Vets often recommend dry food for cats. Pet lovers often forget that vets run a business. They have invested much time and money and their education and practice. They want a return on their investment. Selling pet food is a high-profit activity for many veterinary practices. Some vets get one-third of their revenue from selling pet food. Dry pet food has high profit margins. Medical practitioners learned centuries ago that there's a lot more profit in treating diseases than in preventing them. (Cat lovers may want to prevent feline kidney failure in their favorite felines, but on a mass scale, a lot of money is made by treating kidney problems.)
