Carbohydrates And Cats |
Cats are carnivores, which means they have evolved to eat meat. They have claws and sharp teeth for hunting and catching their prey. However, this is not to say that a complete cat food should not have carbohydrates included.
Cats were originally domesticated in Egypt where they were used in granaries for vermin control. The stomach of their prey (mice and rats) would contain partially digested grains. Cooking grains at a high temperature mimics the action of the stomach, therefore an extruded cat food should contain easily digested carbohydrates.

Alligators Do Not Make Good Pets |
When I was about eight years old, a neighbor of ours, about sixteen years of age had a pet alligator. We lived in Providence, Kentucky a small coal mining town in the western side of the state. This neighbor was known for doing and owning exotic things. I remember being impressed by that small alligator chasing our hands as we moved them quickly along the edge of the old bathtub where he was kept. I do not think that he kept him very long as he was growing very fast and was getting harder to handle.

Dog Photo Calendars - Keep Your Pet With You At All Times |
Making a dog photo calendar is a fun thing to do. You go through all the pictures you have of your little friend and choose one for each month of the year. Sounds easy, but as you go through the photos, you will see that you like too many photos of your pet, making the choice harder. You can also go the other way: take pictures of your dog exclusively for the photo calendar. This is also lots of fun because you can dress your dog representing each month; so you’ll have a Halloween dog, a Christmas dog, April’s Fool dog, and so on!

Home Made Dog Food Recipes Improve Your Dogs Health |
The recent pet food recalls have made many pet owners seriously consider creating their own home made dog food recipes. Cooking your own dog food can be as easy as cooking for your human household if you have the right recipes. By preparing your dog’s meals yourself, you can add variety to his diet while optimizing the nutritional value.
Home made recipes are much healthier for your pet than commercial products. Commercially prepared pet foods use low quality meats and are often packed full of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. As you know, diet greatly influences health in humans. It is the same for your pets - their quality of life is improved by the quality of food that they eat. If you don’t eat anything full of artificial ingredients, why should your dog?
