Easy Tips for Healthy Pets
Executive Summary about Healthy Pets by George Graham

Do you want a long and healthy life for your pets?
There are things in our pets’ environments that can rob them of precious health and long life. I’m
not talking about cars accidents and mean kids in the neighborhood.
1) Food
Food is meant to be good tasting and good for you. The same applies to our pets. Unfortunately, both people food and pet food are full of stuff. And most of this stuff isn’t found growing naturally.
Manufacturers have taken the place of growers and cooks. To make foods last forever on the store shelf, things are added. On TV we see reports about how additives, preservatives and stuff are making our children unhealthy. The same thing applies to our pets’ food.
Preservatives keep food fresh by altering the DNA of the creatures living on the food. What do these preservatives do to the DNA of the child or pet eating them?
Altered hormones, cell mutations (cancer), sickness !!!
The only way to minimize this stuff in our pet’s food is to make the food ourselves. Most people don’t have the time to make their pet’s food and treats.
2) Chemicals in the home
What do you use to clean your counter tops? Where do you store it? A large number of children and pets are poisoned each year because household products are very attractive to inquisitive minds. We had one 6 month old child find and swallow a cleanser.
3) Mold in the home
Most people consider mold in the home an unattractive nuisance. But it can cause allergic reactions in children AND pets.
One house we investigated had two sick, allergic, asthmatic kids. Does your pet sleep in the laundry room?
Mold can cause:
* Allergies,
* sinus problems,
* itching,
* stomach problems,
* hyperactivity,
* skin and hair problems.
This list applies both to kids and pets. Bleach doesn’t kill mold but does burn sensitive lungs.
Don’t use any product that your store owner or pest control person won’t drink in front of you.
