Choosing Natural and Organic Pet Foods

And Getting a Whole Lot More

Diving headfirst into natural and organic pet foods opened the floodgates for us into the world of natural pet products and the businesses behind them. And what surfaced were not only products that better benefit the health of our pets, but also companies contributing mightily to a more sustainable economy that better supports people and our planet too.

Simply reading labels and tracing the sources of ingredients and materials used in our pets' products turned into an interest in the the people and the businesses behind the things we give our pets, starting first and foremost with their food!

We can invest now in better food and better health for our pets while also investing in better businesses attuned to the social and environmental responsibilities that create a more sustainable economy for all of us. Check out favorites below and share your own too!

The What, Why, How & Wow of Natural & Organic Pet Foods

Our Top Picks: Natural & Organic Pet Foods

Mavenjoy
Featured Pick

Dr. Harvey's Healthy Formulations
The What: Dr. Harvey brings uber-natural, -healthy and -quality status to foods for dogs, cats, birds and horses -- "companion animals" as he calls them. He brings this same level of excellence and care to pet treats, supplements, and grooming products as well.
The Why: To quote the good doctor directly, his products were "born out of necessity...of frustration... (and) out of a vision of creating something new and special." That was 30 years ago when he set out to provide an alternative to the unhealthy food people were forced to feed their pets, and in our humble opinion it surpasses anything and everything out there.
The How: Never compromising on a single ingredient and never cutting corners for profit or efficiency, Dr. Harvey's foods follow principles of fresh, organic, holistic, natural and top quality nutrition with no added chemicals, preservatives or synthetic additives. As a nutritionist, Dr. Harvey recognizes that "health begins in the kitchen" for us and our pets.
The Wow: Customer service and then some...or more accurately, customer comfort! As you've probably surmised, Dr. Harvey is a real person and he's available and more than willing to talk to you LIVE and PERSONALLY. Whether it's a question about what protein to add for your dog or to bounce off your latest veterinary report with -- his no-nonsense, get to the heart of the matter (your pet's health) authenticity is a wealth of real wisdom and care that is absolutely priceless. He's a real hoot and half too!
Mavenjoy Tips: Remember Dr. Harvey offers a 100% Money Back Guarantee on all products -- so try them out, your "companions" will be forever grateful and you'll be amazed at their response! You can also find great prices on Dr. Harvey's products here.

• Newman's Own Organics Premium Pet Food
  We couldn't help but jump on the Newman's Own bandwagon after reading In Pursuit of the Common Good by Paul Newman and his business partner A.E. Hotchner. It showcases all the good that can come from creating products of the highest quality and in building businesses with an integrated bottom line for social good too. So when Newman's Own Organics came out with a line of premium pet products, we got excited. And sure enough more great things from this great company, but now for our four-legged friends too. Their dry and canned organic pet foods for dogs and cats contain certified organic vegetables and grains and no antibiotics, hormones, chemical ingredients or artificial preservatives, colors, or additives. And in keeping with the company's commitment to contribute all after-tax profits from the royalties from Newman's Own and Newman's Own Organics to educational and charitable organizations, Newman's has chosen to donate all of the charity money generated by the sale of their pet food to organizations that support animals' well-being.

Share Your Favorite Natural or Organic Pet Food...

So Dr. Harvey's and Newman's Own Organics have become our tried and true favorites for organic pet food, but they didn't come easy. We searched high and low with much trial and error for quality food made by people who care about the nutritional health of pets and about what kind of company they grow. Because different animals require different foods or a rotation of different foods (would you want to eat the same thing every day?), we are always on the lookout for more best picks for natural and organic pet foods. So please share your favorites with the rest of us.
