Thoughts of the natural pet food brand "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter"

The correct answer for diet and health care is

Not necessarily one

In 2004, it was published in Science magazine as "A cat buried with a person was found in a grave 9600 years ago on Cyprus Island."

At the Sannai-Maruyama site in Aomori prefecture, which overturned the image of the Jomon period, it was discovered that dogs were buried in the same way as humans.

There are various theories about the time when the ancestors of domesticated dogs and cats, called domestic cats and domestic dogs, appeared 15,000 years ago or 40,000 years ago. In any case, there is no doubt that we have been spending a long and daunting time together .

Is it "pet food"? Is it "homemade food"?

Whenever I hear this discussion, I always think of "a long time spent with dogs and cats."

From the conclusion, which one is "absolutely correct" cannot be answered.

It was only 4 to 50 years ago that what is called pet food came out. There is also an opinion that "If you do not keep it only with pet food and water, you will get sick." Certainly pet food is calculated and made up to vitamins and minerals.

But until 15,000 to 50 years ago, when it didn't exist, neither dogs nor cats became extinct.

It is because we are with "humans" at the top of the food chain, and we have eaten some of human food and leftovers as a reward for hunting help and grain sokoban.

A meal only for the energy bar?

No matter how good the medicine is, if it is used or used incorrectly, it will be harmful.

No matter how good the food is, it will not work as expected if the amount and eating environment (hot / cold / dry / humid, etc.) are different.

Energy bars (= pet food) are very convenient, but I can't imagine eating them for the rest of my life.

For example, vitamins and minerals have been added to the food stocks for disaster prevention, and the number of seemingly well-balanced foods has increased.

However, after three days, I suffer from stomatitis and want to eat things like fruits and salads.

I wonder why? The nutritional value should be perfect ...

I think there is a secret of "food power" here

That said, I don't mean to say that "homemade food" is better.

While spending busy days in various situations, humans often eat out, have lunch at convenience stores, and when they don't have more time, eat at an energy bar.

Pet food is just such an existence, and it is indispensable for busy modern people.

The moisture content of dry food is 10% or less.

But the water content of our diet is 80%.

To be honest, our foods are oiled, soaked in water, and take a lot of work unlike other foods. However, in the long run, I think it will be a big point to maintain good health.

Lack of water can be detrimental to your health in many ways.

A diet with such low water content has never been seen in domestic dogs and cats.

"I'm drinking water, so it's okay"?

Moisture is not just for quenching thirst.

Have healthy people and pets every day!

Nowadays, you can find simple homemade food recipes in books and online, but I think it will be easier to use if you think of "spring, summer, autumn and winter" as the base of homemade food .

And when you have a special day or time, it may be fun to try authentic homemade food.

We don't make anything special for dogs and cats, we just take some of our dishes (unseasoned meat, boiled vegetables, etc.) and chop them into small pieces.

If possible, use local seasonal ingredients!

Two birds with one stone, which also gave us an opportunity to review our diet.

To keep them healthy, we must first be healthy!
