First you'll need to add water and meat. We recommend USDA beef, chicken or turkey (ground or whole from the grocery store or butcher, or frozen meat patties sold in your local pet store). Always use safe handling methods when dealing with raw meat.

It depends on the size of your pet, but generally speaking, an average sized cat will go through one 4 lb bag of Sojos European-Style in 2 months. As for dogs, typically a 10 lb. bag of Sojos European-Style will last about 5 weeks for a 50 lb. adult dog and an 8 lb. bag of Europa or an 8 lb. bag of Monzie's will last about a month. As a rule of thumb, Sojos European-Style Dog and Cat Food Mixes and Monzie's contain approximately 3.8 cups per pound and Europa contains about 4 cups per pound.

There is no requirement that pet food products have premarket approval by FDA. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act does require that pet foods, like human foods, be pure and wholesome, contain no harmful or deleterious substances, and be truthfully labeled. Information about marketing a pet food product may be found by reading our Information on Marketing a Pet Food Product flyer.

Natura cat and dog foods are not deficient in any nutrient. Our formulas meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the Nutrient Profiles set by AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials, the governing agency for animal feeds). Therefore, supplements are not required for most animals eating a Natura product. If you do wish to supplement, we recommend consulting your veterinarian, who can help you to determine the safest way to do so.

Like so many 'simple' questions, there is no one simple answer. People often tend to look at Paphs as a homogeneous group of plants, but the fact of the matter is they come from a vast range of habitats, and it is difficult to make generalities as to culture.

No, we provide everything necessary to care for your pets including high-quality balanced dry and semi-moist premium foods and all stainless steel food and water bowls. You need to provide the food only if your dog is on a strict veterinarian prescribed diet. For more specific information on bringing your own food, please refer to the "policies" section of this web site under the sub-heading "Food & Special Diets".

PPT supplies a large variety of pet foods for dogs, cats and rabbits. Anyone sending pets with special diet needs or who would prefer to send their own food will need to send it in a zip lock bag with the pets name on it. We have refrigeration on each transport vehicle if needed.

We provide a wonderful all natural Holistic food called Eaglepack. It is made with all human grade ingredients. It comes in a puppy formula, adult, lamb & rice, senior and less active. We would prefer to use our food when we can. However, if your dog requires a special diet, we would be more than happy to accommodate your dogs needs.

The kennel stocks a wide variety of quality dry and canned canine and feline diets. Your pet will be given food that most closely duplicates his home diet (diets on hand are listed below), or you may provide particular diets when required. All pets are fed twice daily unless otherwise requested. When bringing own diet, please package individual meals in Ziploc baggies.

Return the pet food to the store where you purchased it and ask for a refund. Stores generally have a return and refund policy when a company has announced a recall of its products. If you cannot return the pet food immediately, store the food in a secure place where pets and children cannot get to it.

Please call the FDA consumer complaint coordinator for your geographic area. To find your coordinator, visit www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/complain.html. Try to have the following information available before calling: Brand name, lot numbers, and Universal Product Code (UPC) for the pet food fed to your pet when it was ill. A lot number is typically stamped on the bag/pouch or on the can lid. Lot numbers usually consist of a series of letters and numbers.

To report complaints about pet food (and other animal feed), please contact you state FDA's Consumer Complaint Coordinator(s). Contact information can be found at the list of FDA's Consumer Complaint Coordinators. When reporting, please include as much information as possible, including the specific product name, lot numbers, veterinarian's report and diagnosis, etc.

Our food has no fillers, so you feed a lot less than traditional pet food. As a result the price per feeding is actually quite affordable. Check out this article for more info. Also keep in mind that all of our prices include free shipping. You need to make sure the transition is gradual. When you introduce the Sojos diet, feed your pet a meal with mostly the old food and a little bit of the new mixture (Sojos mix, meat, and water – preferably soaked overnight).

In colder conditions, add the Flow Control® to your mixture once you have combined your Rapid Set® material and mix water.

Reactions to foods come in different shapes and sizes. The stronger reactions are easy to spot. Pain and swelling usually flood back within a couple of hours after ingestion. More subtle are reactions that bring on headaches, mental fog, anxiety, intestinal distress, sleepiness or fatigue. Symptoms from hyper-acute reactions can be lessened by taking one tablet of alka-seltzer (the gold box version) in a large glass of water. This can be repeated every 4 hours if needed.

To ensure the accuracy of the list, as much as possible, we verify everything with the pet food companies before we add it to the list. If we are unable to obtain information from a company we will not list them.

We do not recommend mixing but some people have reported doing so without problems in their pets. Raw food and dry food digest at different rates. Raw food takes about 4-6 hours to move through your pet's system while dry food takes 10-12 hours. Each animal is an individual. Some will experience gastric upset from mixing raw and cooked foods.

Veterinarians who have case files and post-mortem results in cases where renal failure is involved and the clients were feeding recalled food are encouraged to contact FDA through the complaint coordinator in their state. To find your coordinator, visit www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/complain.html.

FDA regulates pet food similar to the way it regulates other animal feeds. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires that pet foods, like human foods, be safe to eat, produced under sanitary conditions, contain no harmful substances, and be truthfully labeled. In addition, canned pet foods must be processed in conformance with low-acid canned food regulations to ensure safety from harmful bacteria or their toxins.

It appears that melamine was introduced through wheat gluten from a specific supplier from China. The FDA announced, during their press conference of March 30, 2007, that their investigation had not identified any violations at either of the Emporia, Kansas or the Pennsauken, New Jersey facilities of Menu Foods. The FDA also announced that they did not find melamine in any of non-recall impacted samples of finished product or raw materials.

If your pet shows any signs of illness, including loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, changes in water consumption or changes in urination, please consult your veterinarian IMMEDIATELY. If you are unable to reach your veterinarian and suspect your pet is gravely ill, you may call the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 for emergency advice (a $60 fee applies).

It is possible to get such testing done by a diagnostic laboratory in your area. Please consult your veterinarian, who will be able to guide you on this. According to the FDA, food testing trials were conducted by the manufacturer, not any of the pet food companies who sold final formulations made by the manufacturer. The FDA is conducting an investigation into how this testing was done. The ASPCA was not aware of this element of testing until the FDA mentioned the fact on its Web site.

This comes up more than you would expect, pets fight infections too, like viral based diseases like feline leukemia and feline AIDS. Thanks to the work of pet psychic Amelia Kincade and the experimenting of pet owners everywhere we have many customers adding olive leaf powder and/or liquid extract to pet food and olive leaf powder to pet wash topically.

No. Manufacturers add preservatives to pet foods to maintain the freshness of their product so it will last long enough to reach the consumer and the consumer's pet. Preservatives are listed in the ingredient list usually in parenthesis behind a fat source, and can be divided into two categories: chemical and natural.
