If you believe those wonderful people who bring us corn flakes, bleached flour and cigarettes do better by our pets than they do by us, don’t bet on it! In fact, advertising claims notwithstanding, no commercial pet food available is a “complete” diet.  It is a “by-product” business and a highly profitable one.

 Junk Food

What’s wrong with those well-advertised commercial pet foods? Primarily, it is the low quality of the ingredients from which they are made. The food and drug administration has no ingredient standards for pet foods. Consequently, most of the meat, poultry and by-products used are rejects that do not meet the wholesomeness standards of the United States Department of Agriculture for human consumption. These rejects include dead, dying, diseased and disabled animals, as well as lungs, spleens, gullets, intestines, bruised or emaciated muscle tissue.

The majority of canned products are 78% moisture. That's water and your are paying a high price for it.  The dry products consist primarily of a low cost, low quality grain protein.  While the quantity of protein may be adequate, the quality of protein is definitely not.  The result? A pet that is overfed and undernourished – like too many of his two-legged friends!

Commercial pet foods are deficient in many of the most essential amino acids (proteins). Further, the animal fat most often used for the fat content is beef tallow, a highly saturated fat which is difficult for your pet to digest and which must be preserved by a chemical antioxidant to prevent it from going rancid.  But, after all, it’s very cheap and who cares?

Your Pet is Worse Off Than You

You have a varied diet and a lot of choices.  You get fresh vegetables, meat and fruit.  The pet food you give your pet is his breakfast, lunch and dinner and is 100% processed. Even if you supplement with table scraps, that’s people food and does not take into account the special nutritional needs of the animal.

People, dogs and cats

People, dogs and cats all require a regular dietary supply of vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids to stay healthy or even to survive, for that matter.  However, species by species, the amount and importance of specific essential nutrients varied considerably.  For years, Lewis Laboratories has made complete, balanced nutritional supplements for people.  Staminex and RDA are just two of them and they are, without question, leaders in the nutritional field.  However, dogs and cats are just as different from each other as they are from people. That is why Lewis Laboratories has made two totally different products – Dog Formula and Cat Formula. Each product is scientifically formulated to provide the specific nutritional requirements of the separate species. These two products are powders and a small amount added to your pet’s daily ration makes up for any nutritional deficiencies there might be in needed vitamins, minerals, protein, fat or any other essentials.

The first important fact to note about nutrition for cats is they require, pound for pound, a much higher level of almost all known essential nutrients than any other animal, including man.  

For example, the level of vitamins required by a cat is much higher than for a dog or human.  A cat requires eleven essential amino acids versus eight for man.  One of these, taurine, is not required by any other species and is not adequately supplied in most cat foods.  

Cats have a great many other nutritional peculiarities, which are too numerous to list here.  Suffice it to say, Cat Formula has taken all these nutritional requirements into account in its balanced formula and provided them all – vitamins, minerals, proteins and trace elements.  Another important factor of Cat Formula is cats love the taste!  A one half pound can provides a complete supplement to your cat’s rations for 45 days.

DIRECTIONS:  For an adult cat, add one rounded teaspoon of cat formula to its normal daily ration.  For small cats or extra large cats, decrease or increase the amount slightly.  If dry ration is used, mix with a little warm water and pour over food.  For kittens over six weeks, 1/2 teaspoon.
