Endangered Missing
Local Vets Cautious on Pet Food Supply
continued
from Metro
northeast P ortland, spokesman
D avid L y tle said he was surprised
the shelter has not been o v e r
whelmed w ith inquiries.
Instead, he said, the public relies
on retailers to get the bad foods o ff
the shelf.
Healthy Pets Northwest, w hich
has three Portland locations, has
long since dealt w ith higher-end
pet fo o d s, so the q u e stio n o f
“ w hat’ s in m y pet’ s food?” is noth
in g new to fo u n d e r J u lie
Cantonwine.
But C antonw ine’ s partner and
ow ner o f the A lberta Street store,
Laura A m ito n , said the brands re
cently recalled only reflect a small
percentage o f the overall market.
“ There are s till so many compa
nies w ith high standards, in terms
o f what types o f ingredients they
use and where their food is pro
duced,” she said.
A m ito n said Healthy Pets only
sells food that contains protein,
vegetables and/or grain considered
fo r human consumption. But she
warns against buying foods con
taining grain.
“ Pets really don’ t need a lot o f
grain in their diets unless i t ’ s a
whole grain,” she said. “ A nything
outside that tends to be fille r."
So how do consumers know
which foods are healthiest fo r their
pet? A n easy way is to choose
foods w ith simple ingredient lists
that start out w ith whole foods like
chicken or sweet potatoes.
I f there are lots o f chemicals or
the list begins w ith water, by-prod
uct meat o r grain, you know i t ’ s a
bad food, she said.
She says the price o f high-end
and organic foods isn’ t as p ro h ib i
tive as people assume.
“ Yes, you w ill pay a little more
upfront fo r human-grade food, but
they need less volum e o f food per
day,” she said. “ I hear from custom
ers co n siste n tly ‘ thank you so
much, I don’ t have to buy as much
food anymore.” ’
Pet food retailers and medical
experts all agree that i f you decide
to change your pet’ s food, it ’ s best
to go about it slo w ly - over three or
four days - by blending the old and
new foods together.
