One of the big issues with prescription diets is your kittah just might not like it and then what? It’s not like there are endless competing companies you can turn to in hopes you might find the right yummy fit. I won’t name any names, but I have personally seen high quality brands no longer producing the high quality foods they’ve used to. With that said, I believe there is always a market for new products to make improvements on these specific diets.

Medicus offers a Metabolic Diet, Bladder health Diet, as well as a Kidney Support Diet and after you read my dissertation – you’re going to see why Medicus reigns supreme. One of the things you’ll see with Medicus is they use whole, unadulterated ingredients that have been minimally processed or refined and are free from artificial substances.

It’s the difference between an apple, and apple pomace, the leftover 25-30 % after an apple is milled and pressed, or the difference between whole meat proteins and rendered meat meals. The distinction is crucial when choosing the right nutritional framework for your pet.

Medicus names the names on their website and compares their ingredients to top brands like Hills, Purina, and Blue Buffalo for every single product they make. Just for the sake of a quick comparison, Hills uses 44 ingredients in their Kidney Support product (many look suspect) and Medicus uses 22 wholesome ingredients. I encourage you to take a look at the ingredient comparison yourself, it’s really astounding.

The importance of whole foods can be broken down into smaller divisions, known as sub-ingredients. A pea can be broken into pea protein, pea flour, pea fiber, or pea starch and be labeled as entirely separate ingredients on pet food ingredient decks. It’s important to understand that the most benefits of food come from them as a whole. 

The nutritional differences between the grass-fed beef they use in our recipes vs the beef meal used by other pet brands is quite alarming. The approach Medicus takes following the science is above and beyond the call of duty and is changing the world of our pets, it really is a revolution.

Medicus is flooded with antioxidants like polyphenols (blueberries), carotenoids and zeaxanthin (spinach), and astaxanthin (krill). They only use high-quality, digestible animal proteins, and wholesome cuts of meats from healthy USDA-Inspected animals being used for human consumption.

Meeting the same standards as human meat production…

• No antibiotic use prior to slaughter
• A healthy animal
• No chemicals or medicines administered prior to slaughter
• Humanely slaughtered
• Processed according to USDA standards
• Stored according to USDA standards

…every Medicus formula, whether from Omega 3 fatty acid rich, grass-fed meats, anchovies, or krill, achieves that optimal ratio – some even being a  <1: 1 Omega 6:3 ratio, ensuring your pet benefits from all of the whole food Omega 3 fatty acids.

Medicus has created the first ever therapeutic, freeze-dried whole food diets for sick pets. Their recipes were formulated and reviewed by veterinarians, Independent Veterinary Specialists, and Independent Nutrition Consultants.  Above that, each diet went through rigorous comprehensive 3rd party testing. Several rounds of AAFCO Nutrient Profile testing ensured that both macro and micronutrient levels are tending to your pet’s specific nutritional needs.

TL;DR

The science behind Medicus Veterinary Diet is so comprehensive that I whole-heartedly encourage you to take a deep dive into their website because this could easily turn into The Great Wall of Text. I think it’s time we all start feeding our babies the best quality food we can and Medicus Veterinary Diet is by far…the gold standard.

Dr. Susan Lauten, Ph.D is a pet nutritional consultant and the driving force behind the development of Smalls Cat Food. Whether you choose fresh or freeze-dried raw recipes, all of them are nutritionally complete and balanced according to AAFCO guidelines.

All recipes are standardized as human-grade, which means they are made in a human food facility from USDA-certified ingredients fit for human consumption. These ingredients are carefully sourced from the United States as well as Canada.

Small’s fresh food formulas are prepared in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey and every batch is thoroughly tested for food-borne pathogens. The company also performs regular spot checks to make sure the nutritional content of the food is up to their high standards.

Each recipe features a single source of animal protein with minimal carbohydrate and plenty of hydrating moisture. Other brands that indicate which protein source is in their product aren’t exactly telling the whole truth. There are other parts from different species that make up the difference resulting in more strain on your kittahs digestion and longevity.

• Single-protein formula
• Contains over 48% dry matter protein
• Easily digestible for most cats
• Rich in hydrating moisture

Many veterinarians agree that moisture-rich diets are best for cats, since they naturally get most of their hydration from food rather than a water bowl. Moisture rich and fresh foods; such as Smalls, provide the moisture cats need to support kidney, urinary, and gut health our babies need. When you order on their website, you go through a series of questions as to which Smalls product is right for your kittah. All of their meals are shipped fresh and chilled to ensure the best possible quality possible. Every order comes with some of their kittah nip, free of charge!

My name is Mark and I have been a student at Avada Dance for one year. I work as a lawyer and I have a very stressful and busy life. I always wanted to learn how to dance, but I never had the time or the courage to do it.

One day, I saw an advertisement for Avada Dance and I decided to give it a try. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. The instructors were very professional and friendly, and they taught me how to dance with grace and ease.

They also helped me relax and have fun. I learned different styles of dance, such as ballet, tap, and salsa. I felt like I was escaping from my worries and problems for a while. I also met many nice people who shared my interest in dance and made me laugh.

Thanks to Avada Dance, I have found a new balance in my life. I have reduced my stress and improved my health.

I have also discovered a new hobby and a new way of expressing myself. Dancing has made me happier and more fulfilled, and I can’t thank Avada Dance enough for that.
