Considerations for Choosing a Pet Food
Our recommendations center around foods considered to be Super Premium or Holistic. This means they are 'Meat-based' and meet the highest quality standards in the industry, including ingredients which are more "Human-grade" instead of your typical "by-products" that are common to lower grade manufacturing. Also, you can expect such foods to be devoid of harmful
preservatives, additives, and harsh chemicals. Last but not least, these premium foods are also more likely to incorporate a higher quality 'vitamin and mineral' package designed to be more thoroughly absorbed by your pet's body.
These high-quality 'more natural' pet foods will NOT be found in supermarkets, large corporate pet stores, or discount chains. So, please use our list below and follow the Dealer Locater links to find a source close to you.
In this discussion below, Systemic Yeast Infection is abbreviated - SYI.
KNOW THE INGREDIENTS IN YOUR PET'S FOOD
THE LIST OF VALID REASONS IS LENGTHY:
- Though antibiotics are commonly cited as the most prevalent cause of SYIs, they are not the only contributor. ADDITIVES in pet foods can also be a causative factor; this includes things like preservatives, antibiotics, colorings, dyes, and even pest-prevention agents. Any or all of these can damage the delicate Flora of the gut, and may contribute toxins to the body - worsening the problem.
- Most Big-Brand-Name Supermarket pet foods are grain-based foods - loaded with starch and sugars which Candida yeast feeds and thrives on. Many prominent name foods use ground corn as the primary ingredient which has a very high sugar conversion.
- Wheat Flour or Gluten, or Corn meal, corn starch or corn Gluten along white rice and potatoes are high on glycemic index and should be avoided. (high conversion to sugar). However, sugary foods like peas, carrots or fruit are not a problem if the fall beyond the 7th ingredient.
-
These food sources continue to feed the yeast overgrowth and choke the GI tract of its good bacteria flora. As a result the pets immune system gets weaker and weaker. Its a terrible cycle!
-
Even if you have a truly premium, or better quality food, you still have to avoid the starchy carbohydrates in the first 5-6 ingredients in your food.
Understanding the word MEAL in pet food ingredients:
In producing 'dry kibble' pet foods, water must be extracted from meat; this dried form of the meat is then referred to as meal. This is a highly concentrated form of meat, and contains as much as 11 times more meat protein than the wet meat. When you read real, fresh, de-boned or whole-beef or chicken as the first ingredient, this is a mistated claim! Once the meat is converted to its dry, water-free form, the specified real beef could now, by weight, be moved to the 6th or 7th on the ingredients panel. So, when chicken, beef, or pork are seen listed as first ingredient, the food is still carb based unless the meat is specifically listed as MEAL. The loophole here is that under pet food manufacturing guidelines, the manufacturer is allowed to weigh the contents before they are dehydrated, and the water-weight is removed.

OTHER DIET PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS
ADVISE EVERYONE ABOUT YOUR PETS' RESTRICTED DIET
Make sure that ALL family members, neighbors, utility company employees and Postal workers are aware that your pet is on a RESTRICTED DIET and that it is NOT OK to give treats or any of the problem foods.
USE FILTERED WATER
If possible, use filtered water for your pet. Chlorine used in city water will contribute to the breakdown of the GI tracts natural Flora, making it more difficult to resolve yeast issues. Therefore, we suggest examining options to provide your pet either filtered water or bottled water. Two economical options would be - 1) an inexpensive Brita filter pitcher for your counter; 2) bottled water by the gallon or 2.5 gallons is quite inexpensive and will greatly help to protect your pet from further Flora damage - now and future. Dogs (especially) tend to drink lots of water in warmer months of the year - sometimes drinking for minutes at a time - and if that water is chlorinated, it can reak havoc on digestive Flora. |
