Pet Food? Check for this!

When you are shopping for pet food, a good guideline to follow when reading the ingredients label. The first four ingredients speak to the quantity, so one should steer clear of any pet food that lists corn, wheat, common grains or meal as the first four ingredients. While these can be fillers, in larger quantity they can cause digestion and allergy problems for your pet. Vegetables and protein are far better according to noted vets and pet nutrition experts.

Pet Jokes, Our Health and Celebrating Our Pets

Ongoing studies bring us more news about the positive affect pets can have on us at every age and for all walks of life. From the calming influence of a Guide Dog for autistic children and their family to the happiness-factor blood-pressure-reducing effect of visiting pet programs for the shut-ins in hospitals, retirement villas and nursing homes, the perceived and real value of our pets continues to increase.

One of our goals in this pet blog and on our main website at www.MillionDollarPetPix.com is to celebrate pets with pet lovers and pet owners around the world. To share stories, photos and information that celebrates the wonder of pets and that promotes responsible pet ownership in a fun and positive way.
