Organic Products for Pets?

Organic Products for Pets?
By Teresa Bennett, www.simplypetorganics.com
There is no way around it, pets consume food, play with toys, and are groomed on a recurring basis. Pet owners want to know they are presenting the safest products for their furry family members. Americans spend over 13 billion dollars annually on pet products, making the market sizeable and complex.
Between 2006 and 2008, more than 23000 tons of pet foods were involved in a nationwide recall. It was from more than 100 different brands. Melamine-contaminated food caused severe, oftentimes, fatal kidney failure in cats and dogs. Ultimately, pet owners and veterinarians were left feeling insecure about the safety of pet food products. Since the incident in 2007, the Food and Drug Administration has implemented some Amendment Acts, however, safety still is a concern since there has been multiple recalls after the act was applied.
Moreover, in 2009, a Washington Toxic Coalition tested over 400 pet products to find, what if any, toxic chemicals were in them. The results were disturbing, finding 25 percent of chew toys and pet collars tested contained significant levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic. While in 28 of the products the toxicity levels showed levels higher than 300 ppm, which is the standard lead levels in children's products, set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Again, our pet's health and safety is put at risk for illness and disease.
In addition, The Natural Defense Council indicates the chemicals, organophosphates and carbamates found in pet shampoos and conditioners interfere with the transmission of nerve signals in the body. There is probable evidence rendering long-term health inflictions on children when exposed to these products early in life, including cancer, Parkinson's Disease, and a possible autism link. What are these chemicals doing to our pets then?
In order to avoid dangerous pet products pet owners do have options. Organic is a great option because these pet products carry a higher quality standard than those that are not organic. Additionally, organic pet products aid in better nutrition, help the ease of digestion, pets have fewer allergies, which in return lowers health care bills for your furry loved one.
Hence, our pets are our best friends and family members. We all want the best health for our pets to supply them with the longevity they deserve. The bottom line is you decide which is best for your pet's health. Furthermore, if your pet displays any unusual behavior, loss of appetite, lethargy, or vomiting, consult with your veterinarian immediately.
