Did you know???
- Studies estimate anywhere from 1 in 4 to 1 in 2 cats in America
are obese?
- Veterinary schools generally offer only two courses in animal
nutrition,
one of which focuses on "food animals" such as cows,
pigs, and chickens -
the other which is a mere one credit hour and covers "companion
animals"
(dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, etc.?)
- Seminars in nutrition are usually taught by pet food companies,
promoting
their own products?
- Research indicates most of the long-thought recommendations
for feeding
felines with health issues are at best, inconclusive, and at
worst
incorrect?
- Cats have long been treated as "small dogs" - in
fact, cat food was
originally just dog food made in smaller pieces?
- Feline diabetes, kidney disease, and intestinal disorders
are all on the
rise?
- More than two-thirds of cats have dental disease by the age
of three?
- Many popular cat foods predispose our feline friends to diabetes,
obesity,
kidney disease, urinary crystals, intestinal disorders, and
a myriad of
other problems?
