What To Eat

As some of you know, I have been a vegetarian for over 25 years. My latest nutrition guru is author, Michael Pollan, who has written numerous best selling books on the subject of food--- my favorite of Pollan's is In Defense of Food. I encourage everyone to read it. Pollan basically suggests that we should eat real food instead of edible food-like substances (i.e. anything that comes in a package).

As I try to convert my diet to nearly all food, I have been pondering the question of what to feed my cats. Shouldn't I be feeding them "real" food instead of something that comes in a bag or a can? Nearly all commercial pet food is very highly processed, particularly dry food. Now I love my cats dearly but I'm not sure I'm ready to start preparing meat dishes for them every day. So while I continue to ponder this I will let you know, as I am asked frequently, what I feed my cats and what I feel is the best pet food on the market. (Drum roll, please.) While there are a number of high quality pet foods to choose from, I believe the best one is...

WERUVA Weruva is all human grade, minimally processed and comes in BPA-free cans. They only make canned food for both dogs and cats. They also have incredibly high safety standards. My girls love the Paw Lickin' Chicken (it looks just like chicken) and the Asian Fusion. It also costs more than most pet foods but I think it's worth it. They are a most impressive company. Please visit the Weruva website. And by the way, the company was named after the owners' three rescued cats, Webster, Rudy and Vanessa. You gotta love it!
