 Why should I pay extra money to buy natural pet foods when I can get a 50 lb. bag of "Good Enough" at the grocery store? |
| I tried natural food on my dog once before because he had such terrible skin problems. Fido did fine for about two weeks, and then his "itches" came back worse than ever, so I took him off the new food and put him back on his old food. What happened? |

 Natural pet foods cost more because they are made from human grade ingredients. They do not contain by-products and a laundry list of chemicals. You pay a little more because you are paying for quality.You will find that because natural foods are more dense, you will feed your pet lesser amounts, and will spend less time and money at your vet's office because your pet will be healthier from eating a better quality, more nutritious food. |
Sounds like your dog was going through a 'healing crisis' or detoxification. When you initiate a change of food, you have to allow time for your pet's body to purge itself of the chemicals and poor quality food he was fed over the years. When a pet or person begins eating high quality foods after having eaten the equivalent of fast food for many years, it is a fact they feel worse before they begin to feel better. So don't give up. Allow the body to clean house.
But remember, when in doubt, seek the advice of your veterinarian, who will be able to determine what is happening. Detox is a difficult -- but very worthwhile -- process.
You will notice in the days before a healing crisis that your pet has tons of energy, feels better than he has in years and then one then one day is lethargic. The hot spots, skin allergies or whatever ailed him in years past may come back for a short time, but eventually, after the body has had a chance to rebuild itself, these symptoms will go away and the body will emerge from the detox stronger than ever! |
