At Wishbone Pet Care, we're passionate about pet nutrition. Let's debunk some common myths to help you make informed decisions about your pet's diet.  

   

Myth 1: "All pet food is essentially the same"

Reality: Pet food quality varies greatly. At Wishbone Pet Care, we carefully select high-quality brands like Northwest Natural, Smallbatch, Fromm, Nulo, Dr. Marty, and Badland Ranch. These brands prioritize nutritional balance and quality ingredients.  

For example, Fromm offers formulas tailored to different life stages and health conditions, while Nulo is known for high meat content and low carbohydrate formulas. The right food can significantly impact your pet's health, energy levels, and lifespan.  

   

Myth 2: "Expensive pet food is always better"

Reality: Quality doesn't always mean the highest price tag. We offer excellent nutrition at various price points. For instance, our freeze-dried and raw options from Northwest Natural and Smallbatch provide high-quality, nutrient-dense meals that can be surprisingly cost-effective.  

Northwest Natural offers raw frozen and freeze-dried options made with human-grade ingredients. Smallbatch provides a range of raw and gently cooked pet foods using organic, sustainably-sourced ingredients.  

The key is finding food that meets your pet's nutritional needs, regardless of price. Our nutritional counseling services can help you balance quality and affordability perfectly.  

   

Myth 3: "Pets should eat the same food every day"

Reality: While consistency is important, some variety can be beneficial. Rotating between high-quality foods can provide a wider range of nutrients and prevent food boredom.  

We offer options that allow for safe and healthy food rotation. Brands like Northwest Natural and Smallbatch offer different protein sources and formulations that can be rotated to provide diverse nutrition.  

However, it's crucial to introduce new foods gradually. Our team can guide you on how to safely incorporate variety into your pet's diet without causing digestive upset.
