Animal Diet - For cats and dogs
Animals have adapted to
their normal diets over thousands of years; consequently
Holistic Therapists are inclined to recommend a natural diet to
help keep your pet in the best of health.
I suggest the following
diet for Cats and Dogs. This is based on availability in New
Zealand so may not necessarily be available in other countries,
or may be available under a different name.

meat -horse, rabbit, venison, kangaroo or buffalo etc.
A good variety of
vegetables including greens.

Pasta or brown rice

|
|

Organic Yogurt -
