Media Contact: January, 2005 Westminster, Colo. – You may be watching what you eat down to carbs, calories and fat grams, but are you watching what your pets eat? “Many pet foods contain rendered byproducts, added growth hormones and antibiotics,” says Dr. Andrew Weil M.D., a pioneer of preventative health and nutrition practices. “Even some products claiming to be natural can still contain animal byproducts.” Rendered byproducts are often listed on the ingredient labels as “chicken meal,” “meat or bone meal,” “beef byproducts,” or “poultry meal,” which can include fats and meat derived from sources not allowed for human consumption. A new line of pet food called Pet Promise does not contain any animal byproducts, added growth hormones or antibiotics, rendered or recycled meats and fats, brain or spinal tissue, or any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. The food is also backed with a purity guarantee. All the meat and poultry used in Pet Promise is strictly sourced from natural producers, and is the No. 1 ingredient listed in the food. Weil says there is a growing trend towards natural meat and poultry in pet foods like that used in the Pet Promise brand, giving owners convenient and healthy nutrition options for their pets. Pet Promise is available in natural health food stores nationwide (prices vary but range between $7.99-$10.99 for dry food; $1.19-$1.69 for wet food). You can find a store close to you at http://www.petpromiseinc.com. Each purchase of Pet Promise also directly supports American family farmers and ranchers who adhere to sustainable ranching practices by keeping added hormones and antibiotics out of meat and poultry.
