Wet Food can be Important to Your Pet’s Health!

Looking for a safe and wholesome canned food for your pet? At Diamond™ Pet Foods, we offer 3 flavor varieties of canned dog food and 2 varieties of canned cat food. Many people choose canned foods as a treat for their pets, to give medication, or as a supplement to regular dry foods.

Some medical conditions in cats may respond well to a wet diet – notably diabetes and feline urinary tract disease. Diamond™ Pet Foods our products have always been and continue to be made with your pet’s health in mind. Many people fail to realize that when a cat is on a dry food diet they tend to produce a more concentrated urine. Cats with more dilute urine will be less likely to have large numbers of crystals in the urine that can lead to blockage or irritation in the urinary tract. A wet food diet can help your cat maintain the hydration levels that he or she needs, leading to better kidney and urinary tract health.

Adult cats that are overweight are more likely to develop diabetes. Managing the diabetes is much easier when the diet being fed is low in carbohydrates. Wet foods are much lower in carbohydrates than any dry product available and may help manage or even eliminate diabetes.

WARNING: RAISINS AND GRAPES CAN BE TOXIC TO YOUR DOG!

At Diamond™ Pet Foods we love our pets, and we are always on the lookout for things that could potentially cause harm to our friends. There are many rumors about foods that are perfectly fine for people, but that can cause illness or even death for dogs.

Grapes and their dried version, raisins, have been known to cause renal failure and death in some dogs. While it is not yet known exactly what the toxin in grapes and raisins is, there have been several cases in which dogs have been rushed to emergency centers to no avail.

Since we all love our pets, it is very important to stay informed about the things that can harm them. Below please find a list of websites recommended by the ASPCA on specific pet health care problems.

Diamond™ Pet Foods encourages you to protect your kitty’s health with proper preventive care.

Findings of a recent survey of U.S. households with both pet dogs and cats show that these households spend more time with their dogs than their cats, regard dogs as more fun than cats, view dogs as members of the family more than cats, and see dogs as better fits in their families. However, cats outnumber dogs by 90 million to 62 million in American households.

Veterinary groups are focusing efforts are increasing wellness care for cats, just like for dogs. Cats benefit from two health checks every year and most veterinarians are now recommending this frequency of care for both species.

Our pet cats are living longer and longer, thanks to great nutrition provided by foods like
Diamond Naturals brand Indoor Cat Formula and Active Cat Formula and better veterinary care than ever before.

Our adult and senior cats are more likely to have medical conditions specific to their age, like hyperthyroidism. Read more about hyperthyroidism and an effective topical treatment in our newest Vet Notes.

Diamond Pet Foods encourages you to protect your pups from spring time hazards!

As the weather warms, your pup is likely to want to run and explore even more than usual! The trouble is flea and tick season is also starting – and that can be dangerous to you and your pet!

Fleas and ticks carry diseases and their bites can cause scratching and infected wounds. These critters can be harmful to you as well – so prevention is paramount for all concerned. Luckily there are a number of options available for you to apply on a monthly basis. Imagine if bug spray was a monthly event for everyone rather than having to put it on every time you go out at dusk! These products are available through your vet and a regular schedule of applications will be in everyone’s best interests!

In addition to prevention Diamond Pet Foods suggests maintaining a healthy & well-balanced diet. They offer an extensive line of Dry Dog food Formulas available near you!
