"Many pet foods contain rendered byproducts, added growth hormones and antibiotics," says Dr. Andrew Weil M.D., a pioneer of preventative health and nutrition practices. "Even some products claiming to be natural can still contain animal byproducts."

Rendered byproducts are often listed on the ingredient labels as "chicken meal," "meat or bone meal," "beef byproducts," or "poultry meal," which can include fats and meat derived from sources not allowed for human consumption.

A new line of pet food called Pet Promise does not contain any animal byproducts, added growth hormones or antibiotics, rendered or recycled meats and fats, brain or spinal tissue, or any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. The food is also backed with a purity guarantee. All the meat and poultry used in Pet Promise is strictly sourced from natural producers, and is the No. 1 ingredient listed in the food.

Weil says there is a growing trend towards natural meat and poultry in pet foods like that used in the Pet Promise brand, giving owners convenient and healthy nutrition options for their pets.

Pet Promise is available in natural health food stores nationwide ( prices vary but range between $7.99-$10.99 for dry food; $1.19-$1.69 for wet food ). You can find a store close to you at http://www.petpromiseinc.com.

Each purchase of Pet Promise also directly supports American family farmers and ranchers who adhere to sustainable ranching practices by keeping added hormones and antibiotics out of meat and poultry.

Should Your Pet Go Organic?

Expert says beware, you might be spending more money for a bag full of bread.

"To achieve an organic classification most of these pet foods are heavy on grains, making them very light on actual protein," says Dave Carter who served as the past chair of the USDA National Organic Standards Board. "Dogs and cats need a diet rich in protein and currently the supply of organic meat in this country is limited."

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
