If you’ve ever done a little research about how to live your best life, you’ve probably come across the phrase “holistic living.” Lifestyle gurus everywhere consider it the key to living well, for good reason. But what does it actually mean?
In a word: balance.
Living holistically means finding balance across all aspects of our lives, including our health, relationships, career, finances, and spirituality. It’s an acknowledgement that the choices we make in any one of these categories will affect the rest of them, for better or for worse.
Holistic living for pets starts with the right pet food
When it comes to diet, we all know that choosing whole, natural foods instead of processed food with lots of fats and sugars will help us stay healthy and able to enjoy all the other parts of our lives. This applies to pets too! Being able to make the most of the things they enjoy—playtime, exploring their environment, hunting spiders for us—starts with a healthy diet.
However, not all pet food is created equal.
Processed pet food, like kibble and canned food, can be a health risk for pets
Most of us wouldn’t let our pets snack on chips and candy all day. But often, even the most conscientious pet owners don’t realize how unhealthy some pet food brands can be—even the ones that have “premium” labeling.
A lot of the pet food brands you can find at the grocery store are packed with grain fillers, salt, cellulose and preservatives—not to mention poorly distributed amounts of vitamin and mineral supplements. And just like eating junk food every day slowly chips away at our health, cheap pet food can take years off our pets’ lives.
Conditions like canine liver failure, heart disease, joint problems, obesity, diabetes, and kidney disease have all been linked to processed pet food. And these health issues can bring chronic pain and fatigue that prevents pets from being able to fully enjoy their environment, their playtime, and even the attention they get from us. On the flip side, fresh and nutritious food can give pets the building blocks they need to maintain their health and boost their immune system, and help them stay happy and active well into their golden years.
But how do we make sure our pets are getting the right combination of proteins, fats, sugars, vitamins and minerals?
Fortunately for our pets, it’s as easy as choosing the right brand of food.
