Natural Awakenings South Central Pennsylvania

Addressing Pet Obesity with Organic Raw Food

Feb 28, 2021 09:21PM ● By Dianne Wagman
It is easy to give our pets a quick snack for cute tricks, to deliver medications, or during training sessions. But just like our fellow humans, weight gain can create issues in the nervous system, digestive system, compromise the cardio muscle (the heart) and create aches and pains known as arthritis in the joints and bone structure. Feeding a higher quality of organic foods, raw foods and exercise can help alleviate these issues.

 

At Hounds N Herbs, LLC., we offer a wide range of organic and raw foods and treats.  Raw foods are nature’s most perfect form of food for dogs and cats since it is biologically appropriate.  Freeze-dried turkey or duck heart, freeze-dried liver, lamb or beef lung chips, freeze-dried chicken and turkey breast can be great supplements to a nutrient-deficient diet and be great treats to use for tricks or training sessions. These treats are nutrient dense and help support all vital organ function and naturally maintain a healthy weight.

We also offer an open Raw Bar for keeping your pet occupied with chews that help with keeping a pet’s teeth clean and pearly white while exercising the jaw muscles to alleviate stress and boredom.

Our knowledgeable staff can assist pet owners with what their pets’ healthy weight should be and point them in a direction for an all-around healthy balanced diet specific to the breed of dog or cat.
