Information regarding the health of your dogs, cats and ferrets:
In recent history, household pets such as dogs, cats and ferrets, have become a victim of a variety of pet skin problems, failing livers and kidneys, and even early death. Although the natural life expectancy of a majority of dogs and cats is 20 years, trends have indicated that these animals are living much shorter lives. In part, shorter life spans of house canines and felines can be attributed to a lack of balanced dietary intake. Essentially, most pets today do not receive the proper nutrition from commercial pet food.
What commercial pet food currently contains is quite surprising. Many chemicals are added to pet food including additives used to improve taste and appearance. However, additives add no nutritional value. Not all additives are harmful to pets. In fact additives can be specifically approved, or they can be considered generally recognized as safe.
How did it come to be that commercial pet food began adding less than nutritional ingredients to their products? At the end of WWII there was an overabundance of grains left in storage in the U.S. The business owners of the grains could not afford to just discard the grains, so they decided to create a commercial pet food, thus getting some return on their investment in the grain. This started the commercial pet food industry as it continues today.
Buying dog food, cat food and ferret food at the store is much easier for consumers than cooking and creating it themselves. But what consumers need to understand is cats, ferrets and dogs are carnivores. Their systems were not made to eat highly processed grains and pets cannot obtain the necessary nutrients from those grains for good health.
Because pets’ diets contain an overabundance of grain, serious health issues have cropped up. Animals often are diagnosed with skin problems like hot spots or itchy skin. Usually, the prescribed remedy for these problems should be considered a “quick relief.” Steroids, acting as an anti-inflammatory, eliminate the skin problem, but only for a little while.
Steroids may alleviate skin irritations, but they simultaneously cause long-term internal damage to pets. Pet diets heavy in grain promote insulin production and may lead to diabetes. If it doesn’t, it may in the future if not given Essential Needs food supplement. Additional problems steroids can cause are as follows:
Increased blood pressure
Decreased wound healing
Immune suppression
Weight gain
Increased thirst and urination
Depression, lethargy, weakness
Increased levels of parathyroid hormone
Inhibition of platelet aggregation
Increased secretion of gastric acid, decreased mucus production
Decreased absorption of iron and calcium from the diet
Increased deposition of fat in liver cells
Increased levels of cholesterol
Thinning of skin and hair, skin atopy
Appearance of dull, dry hair coat
Secondary disorders, including: pancreatitis, Addison’s disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal ulceration, epidemia, vicious behavior, viral and bacterial infection
