Healthier Pets Start with Food

At Pet Planet, we believe that a happier life starts with healthier pets. And healthier pets start with food.

Food is the foundation for health and longevity. A strong immune system will fight disease, and the food our pets eat can contribute significantly to a strong immunity. Many health issues can be well-managed with the right diet plan. The right diet plan includes high-quality, nutrient-dense food, healthy treats, and purposeful vitamins. All three matter.

Kibble

Made of meats, grains, vegetables, and other ingredients, kibble is the most popular type of food for pets.

Canned

Food is “wet”; it offers more moisture and is often more palatable for pets – especially cats. Canned food typically contains more protein than dry foods.

Raw

Raw foods consist of muscle meat, bone, organ meats, vegetables, and fruits. There are many different raw options that make feeding a raw diet easy and safe for both you and your pet.

Almost Raw

Dehydrated foods have had the moisture removed, leaving the food free of artificial preservatives and with nutrients and enzymes intact.

Freeze-dried foods are placed in a vacuum chamber that lowers the temperature to below freezing, then the moisture is drawn out as the temperature is slowly raised.

Toppers and Mixers

Often packaged in pouches, these food “sauces” or “gravies” add flavour, vitamin boosts, and/or probiotics, and can be served on top of your pet’s current diet.

Has Anyone Ever Explained the Differences in Pet Food to You?

This is a question our Ambassadors ask in our stores. Safety, ingredients, manufacturing processes, recall history, and price are all factors that we take very seriously when defining which products fit our trust profile.

Making Mealtime Fun

Rotational feeding means feeding our pets a variety of foods rather than the same food all the time.

By varying our pet’s diet, they get to enjoy a wide range of essential nutrients which may help to reduce the chance of developing food related allergies and sensitivities.

How Do I Start a Rotational Diet?

There are two ways you can try a rotational diet:

The first is to consider the different food “types” in your pet’s feeding routine. 

Try adding raw or almost raw to your pet’s kibble! Remember to balance the amount of food, so your pet isn’t getting more calories than they should be.

The second is to try switching up the protein of your pet’s food.

Switch up the protein within the brand you feed, regardless of the food type.

Let Us Help You Find Quality Foods

What to look for when looking at the ingredient panel on a bag of pet food.

Remember, ingredients are listed in order, by weight.

Meat. Meat. More meat. NAMED meat. Look for ingredients like “lamb meal”. These should be the top ingredients listed.

Look for purposeful carbs like sweet potatoes, lentils, and peas. But not before the main meat inclusions!

Whole, low GI grains like oats or barley at lower inclusion rates.
