Many popular dog food companies are owned by parent companies that use wastes from thier other products to make your dog's food more tasty, but not really better for them. (Source: API food report: whats really in pet food.)

Why Feed Scraps?
What are the benefits of feeding a quality food?
By feeding your pet a quality food you will see several positive improvements such as a healthy and shiny coat, increased vitality, overall improved health, less backyard waste and more. Scraps carries only the best quality dog and cat food to ensure the health and happiness of your beloved pet.

Does your dog have a sensitive stomach? Do they scratch, lick or chew on themselves?
Another benefit of feeding a high quality food is the reduced risk of, or control of, allergies. Chewing, licking, and scratching are all common signs of a food allergy, or an inadequate diet. Scraps offers several lines of foods made specifically for dogs with allergies or sensitive stomachs. These diets utilize unique, limited, ingredients. By limiting the ingredients this makes the food more digestable and less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
What is the difference between high and low quality food?
Federal law requires dog food makers to list the ingredients on thier food in decreasing order of the weight of the ingredients before proccessing. To determine the difference between a high or low quality food, simply read the ingredients label. Keep in mind the digestibility of the ingredients like fats, protiens and carbohydrates.

What about raw diets?
Dogs and cats' digestive systems are well equipped to eat and digest raw food, including bones. Raw food contains valuable vitamins and minerals that can be destroyed when cooked. Raw food also preserves natural enzymes and probiotics which aid in digestion.
Some benefits of a raw diet are:
-minerals better assimilated
-vitamins more bioavailable
-beneficial antioxidants present
-amino acids more bioavailable
-natural digestive enzymes still present
-probiotics spared

What about supplements?
Sometimes our pets need a little hlep, and that is why Scraps supplies several health supplements for your pet. Some of our supplements include glucosamine chondroitin for the joints, probiotics, and natural enzymes for teeth cleaning and digestive aids. We also offer skin and coat supplements.
