What a Healthy Pet Diet Looks Like

Fur parents across the globe are more invested in their pets’ health than ever, but the hunt for affordable, healthy pet food has become unnecessarily complicated. During the pandemic, pet ownership rates boomed. This explosion in adoption rates has led to massive growth in the pet product and services market, enabling new players to replace ineffective offerings with innovative alternatives.  

But as the industry has evolved, pet owners, veterinarians, and suppliers are increasingly following buzzwords with little thought. These claims are usually unsubstantiated, cause consumers to have a warped idea of an ideal pet diet, and cause health issues for their four-legged friends. 

Pets Global, Inc., an independently owned pet wellness nutrition company at the forefront of the industry, advises owners, veterinarians, and retailers to be more conscious of what products and services they support. This trendsetter has cut through the noise with a family of brands boasting non-starchy carbohydrates, wholesome fiber sources, and a meat-first limited ingredient list.

Besides setting a new standard of excellence for pet diets globally, Pets Global is facilitating a future where quality drives owner and pet satisfaction; a world where pets have longer, more enjoyable lives. 

Just like humans, animals need nutritional meals to give them energy and maintain their physical health. What foods are best for this has been debated for several decades as the research following pet diets has developed substantially. Amid these changes, pet owners have become more conscious about what their furry companions are consuming. Their interest in creating cleaner diets reflects a broader trend in health-conscious purchasing, but this well-meaning shift may result in a nutritionally imbalanced diet. 

Pets Global has been monitoring this phenomenon heavily, recognizing that most consumers find food labels hard to read, and increasingly rely on non-expert sources for insight. Misinformation and fad diets now dominate the online discourse, encouraging owners to invest in raw diets, use various supplements, and buy pet food they themselves would eat.  

In the realm of pet health, a holistic approach is best for avoiding the risks associated with generalized behaviors that aren’t supported by scientific evidence. This principle is paramount for Pets Global, which consistently goes above testing standards to create enhanced feeding trials and other data that demonstrate product efficacy. 

Staying informed about the dos and don’ts of pet health is hard, but Pets Global recommends a few simple ways owners can make the right decisions. 

Ingredient lists have historically been packed with byproducts and fillers. Owners can steer clear of foods with poor nutritional value by selecting brands with meat as the first ingredient and avoiding high-glycemic binders such as potatoes and corn. With more research, they can focus on the basics of what their pet needs, avoiding buzzwords and marketing ploys after careful consideration.  

“Taking the extra time to learn what our beloved pets should be eating saves us money at the vet and gives our pets a happier life free from uncomfortable allergies and intolerances,” says Aina Kanahele, Senior Projects Manager. “While emerging trends may hold some value, choosing data-backed products is safer long-term for our pets and the connection we’re building with them.” 

Pets Global puts this ethos into action, offering Zignature, Fussie Cat, Inception, and Essence—pet foods for dog and cat owners. Since its founding by pet industry veterans in 2010, the wellness company has been uncompromising in its mission to raise the bar for pet food worldwide. Now operating across several international markets with its headquarters in Southern California, Pets Global is the go-to choice for dog and cat lovers seeking products with low-glycemic binders, novel proteins, and an unshakeable emphasis on comprehensive nutrition. 

The company has also demonstrated its passion for nurturing healthy, happy pets in underserved communities, donating almost half a million pounds of food to pet pantries and similar organizations.  

As owners, industry experts, and retailers advance their understanding of pet health, the landscape will undoubtedly uncover more knowledge about dietary needs, preferences, and risk profiles across various breeds. These breakthroughs will be ushered in by companies like Pets Global, who represent a new wave of pioneers enhancing furry friends’ longevity through accessible and delectable data-backed products. 

“Our team of pet lovers strives to provide endless options for pets of all ages and conditions. With proteins ranging from fish, duck, or kangaroo, and mouth-watering additions like goat milk and supergrains, Pets Global does more than empower owners to give their best friends healthy meals. It inspires them to treat their pets with respect and consideration, choosing brands that honor their body’s unique needs,” says Aina.
