How Safe Is Your Pet’s Food?

March 13, 2010

By: Darlene Sawyer, Owner Aunt Darlene’s Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Service since Fall 2003 and Aunt Darlene’s Bed & BarkFest added in Fall 2007.

You may have seen the question “How Safe Is Your Pet’s Food?” asked online already. My next question is, do you know the answer to the question? Just reading the question without getting the facts, the honest to goodness, no B.S. Truth about what goes into most commercial grade pet foods including dog food and cat food too isn’t enough. The commercial companies don’t want you to know because if you did know, and you do have any love for your pet at all, you would throw most toxic, contaminated, life shortening pet food in the trash and cook dinner for your dog, or cat every day. It’s just that disgusting.

Most of the meat used in most commercial grade pet foods is the cheapest possible meat that money can buy. There’s a saying in the pet food industry for this kind of food. It’s called the 4 D’s. The 4 D’s are;
1. Decaying – Meat that’s been waiting until enough accumulates to have it hauled away.
2. Diseased – Near death, not fit for human consumption. Ours is human grade 100%
3. Dying – On its way out for whatever reason, Flu, TB, Abuse?

4. Dead – Throw the dead ones in, it’s only dog food. Makes me ill!

The first time I heard this I was sick to my stomach and had to change food for both my new dog Pebbles whom I got in October 2003, and my cat Boo Boo Kitty that my Dad who’s retired, was feeding every day for 2 weeks. He talked me into just going down to see her, Un-Huh, the old “just come see her trick”. That did it I was in love and brought my Hubby Tom toe see her the next day and Mr. didn’t like cats picked her up fleas and all and held her in his arms in our SUV all the way to the Vet. We both just fell in love with her at first sight.

Anyway back to the food. We did a lot of research into pet foods and found a pet food company that not only has a great product, it has a 30 day money back guarantee and weekly customer conference calls with Product Formulator Dr. Jane Bicks, DVM. Since the early 1980′s Dr. Jane has authored three national books promoting the responsible care and treatment of pets. Her books include Revolution in Cat Nutrition (Rawson Associates, New York, 1986), Dr. Jane’s Thirty Days to a Healthier, Happier Cat (Berkley Publishing, New York, 1997), and Dr. Jane’s Guide to a Healthier Happier Dog (Berkley Publishing, New York, 1999). She is currently writing another pet book. She has been the dog columnist, cat columnist and for the last 7 years natural product columnist for the highly recognized magazine “Pet Business”.

After 2.5 hours on the phone with Life’s Abundance Distributor, John Albrecht I was not only convinced that this was the food my pets would eat for the rest of their lives. It was a great decision because of the exceptional results we had. I would like to share my personal experiences with everyone because the results are worth sharing and you may have the same issues, or know someone who’s dog does have these problems. As pet owners these are things that you need to know if you care what your feed your pet, and if you want your dog to live a longer, healthier and ultimately a much happier life. And remember premium healthy food for your pets is much cheaper than vet bills to keep them from suffering, so you do pay one way or the other. The ONLY pet food we use and recommend is Life’s Abundance from Heathypetnet.com. The product and the company speaks for themselves.

When I first became a distributor my step-daughter owned a Chinese-Sharpei that was 8 years old and had suffered her entire life with sores between her wrinkles, hot spots and she chewed her feet a lot. She told me she never got out of the vets office for under $500 and that not a single cream, ointment, or injection helped her dog. The vet even had her on a prescription diet that contained wheat, which was ultimately the real problem. I gave her a 40 Lb bag of our food and she told me that before her first bag was gone all of her dog’s ailments had cleared up and she was much more playful and like a puppy again. She also told me that that Winter she had the nicest, thickest Winter coat of her life. She was so impressed that she started buying the vitamins too.

We had a pet sitting customer that had a 6 month old Boxer who was losing her hair on her back. She had been diagnosed with canine alopecia and the owner thought she had a special needs dog who was going to lose her beautiful brindle coat. We took one look at her and said she as a WHEAT allergy. We told the owner to order a large bag of food and if she didn’t like it she could get her money back within 30 days. She ordered the food and 6 weeks later when we pet sat her again her hair had almost completely grown back in. JUST AMAZING! We teared up from joy at knowing that we save Bella from a life of hairlessness, suffering and painful allergy symptoms. Nothing deserves that.

Our cat became and has stayed much, much friendlier since we changed her food in 2003, 7 years ago. She is a different cat. That’s because we no longer feed her food filled with contaminants, mold, toxins, the 4 D’s, etc.

We recently went to the vet and commented on how Amazing our Dog Pebble skin was and asked what we feed her. She looked it up and said she was very impressed. You owe it to your pet to watch the 5 minute video that explains in detail what I’ve tried to convey here. Please for your pets sake take the 5 minutes to listen

New Customers Brinks (Cow Dog)

March 10, 2010

We just had a new puppy (Brinks) stay with us for a week.   He’s a mix of English and French Bulldogs.   Holy cow is he cute and as strong as a bull and he actually kind of looks like a little cow.  My husband Tom, nicknamed Brinks Cow-Dog.
If you have kids, or don’t, and remember a cartoon named CatDog, than you probably somewhat remember the CatDog Theme Song.  
My husband who loves cartoons (What man doesn’t) and was a fan of CatDog, kept singing the theme song to cat dog every time he would see Brinks, but instead of calling him CatDog, it was Cow-Dog.   He make up his own lyrics.   He’s a very funny guy, which is one of the reasons I married him.   He keeps me laughing most of the time.    Anyway below is what I had to listen to for the entire time Brinks stayed with us.  Tom always sings to the dogs and they love it.  You can tell because they come running to him and get all frisky and roll over on their backs for belly rubs.  He’s self admittedly not much of a singer, but he says the audience doesn’t care so he doesn’t either.
We’d love to hear from you about anything pet related.

Nickelodeon’s Original Version Of Cat-Dog.
One fine day with a woof and a purr
a baby was born and it caused a little stir
no blue buggy, no three-eyed dog
just a feline kanine little catdog

catdog ,catdog
alone in the world was a little catdog
out on the road or back in town
all the little critters put catdog down
trying to be brothers , trying to get along
trying to walk together, trying to sing this song
catdog, catdog
alone in the world was a little catdog
catdog,  catdog
alone in the world was a little catdog
alone in the world was a little catdog

Tom’s Version Cow-Dog
One fine day with a Woof and a Moo
a baby was born didn’t know what to do
not a little heifer , doesn’t look like a Hog
just a Bovine, Canine little Cow-Dog

Cow-Dog, Cow-Dog
Alone in the world was a little Cow-Dog
Out on the road or back in town
all the little critters puttin Cow-Dog down
trying to be the Alpha, trying just to get along
trying to walk together, trying to sing this song
Cow-Dog, Cow-Dog alone in the world was a little Cow-Dog
Cow-Dog, Cow-Dog
alone in the world was a little Cow-Dog
alone in the world was a little Cow-Dog

New Puppy

March 3, 2010

I just met the most adorable Boxer puppy named Roscoe last night on a consult.   I will be walking him and teaching him how to be a well behaved, house broken doggie.  I don’t have any pictures of him yet, but I will put one on my dog pictures page when I get one, he’s so cute.  I only have a fraction of he dogs I have had as clients on my website.  It’s just too hard to keep up with all of them.  You can see my pets and some of the pets I care for at my Doggie Pictures page.

I love being a pet sitter and dog walker!

Hello Pet Lovers!

March 2, 2010

Welcome to WeSitPets.com. This is my first post and I just wanted to say thank you for stopping by.  I am very fortunate to be able to do what I love and make a living at it.  If you are thinking about starting your own pet sitting, dog walking or in-home boarding services, I would love to hear from you and provided you’re not my local competition, I’d even like to help get you started  making money very quickly.  I have seen a lot of pet sitters come and go since I started back in 2003 and they all seemed to be lacking some things.  This is a very busy time of year for me and I would love to be able to stop by and blog every day.  Unfortunately I am unable since I already work from 7:00 AM to about 11:00 PM 7 days a week, so I am going to add a page to my website at WeSitPets.com that you can get tips on how to make more money without going broke advertising.  I expect to have the page online by the end of March 2010 so check back and thanks for reading my first entry
