Paul, answer my qusetion. So Paul, are you a qualified Nutritionist? Your enthusiasm for selling your product does not make you a nutritionist. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are however a consumate marketeer , using comments from people that support &quot;raw&quot; foods of animal origin  , to make it look like they support your cooked food which contains lots of plant material. No need for those big company budgets when you can play on peoples emotions and bulldust them so well! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;]]></description>

Natural Pet Food. Hi Valerie&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As per my previous comments to Pat and Rudi, if one really applies your mind, use common sense and not interfere with nature, it will become very evident that the only way to feed is naturally. It will a slo be very evident how we have been fooled, by these large multi-nations, with massive marketing campaigns and have clouded our clear sense of thought.]]></description>

Pet Food. Hi Pat&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Similar to my previous comment to Rudi, there are certain principles to health food. As nutritionists, we know that nutritious food is bets derived from natural, wholesome and organic foods. It does not matter whether you are a human, dog, cat, adult or child.&lt;br&gt;I have fantastic testiminials from people that changed diet from processed to natural, Unbelievable results, including curing ailaments like cancer, skin disorders, digestive problem and behaviour.]]></description>

Pet Food. Yes Rudi, all that is required to come to an informed decision, is coomon sense, reading the literature and reading the ingredients on labels. Then all will come to the conclusion that natural food is better than unnatural, that preservative free is better than laden with preservatives and that wholesome food is better than processed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[pet food. Paul talks about not feeding a &quot;processed carbohydrate based food&quot;, but he sells just such a product ?  Most of what he talks about is his own opinion, and not fact based at all. He relies on our human sentiment to sell his food, because if it is cooked in his kitchen , with added garlic it must be good, right ? He is no more a Pet Food Nutritionist than I am an astronaut!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Pet Food. At last someone who agrees with me. I have always thought this dry food idea to be  completely contrary to what animals would consume naturally. Surely they hunted small prey and ate it wet.  Then if they had a digestive problem they would eat grass and then vomit it up.  I love to buy a product called Beefies  which I cook and mix left over vegies into it with some garlic and a little oil. Do you know they were feeding the Cheetahs dog pellets at the Cheetah rescue park near Hartebeespoort dam.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Pet Food. I was born into cat slavery! We have always fed our pets dry &#038; wet food combinations, with dry food or kibble during the day &#038; wet food at night.  We have also, only once, had a pedigreed cat... a siamese who lived until she was 23. All others were moggies, &#038; all of them fed in this way.  The only premature deaths we&#039;ve ever had were when they were killed by abnormal means.  All our cats live until they&#039;re 17 or 18 years old on average with the rare one dying at 14.  So I find myself rather ambivalent about the natural vs pet food debate. Of my 3 ex ferals, only 1 will regularly include raw rat in his diet.  The others may catch them, but refuse to eat them.  I do, on occasion give them tinned tuna (including the liquid) as a treat, but that&#039;s about their sum total of raw food.  Maybe all domestic creatures, including humans, would do better on a completely organic, predominantly raw food, diet.... but in this day &#038; age, I find that to be an unachievable goal. 50 years down the line, I still feed my pets the way we used to... as above. I don&#039;t see any reason to change now.]]></description>
