Dogs and cats are exposed to toxins and chemicals on a daily basis which can lead to concerns about pet health.
Every pet has a considerable amount of chemicals in their body, because they walk through them, breath them in, eat and drink them. Unfortunately toxins and chemicals can be ingested and absorbed by our pets from unfiltered tap water and the everyday chemicals we use in our homes, gardens, in animal shampoos and creams, worm, flea and tick preventatives and the toys we provide for their entertainment.
One well recognised chemical toxin is BPA (Bisphenol A) This is used to make plastics and resins and is found in plastic water bottles, canned foods (pets and humans), food packaging and it leaches into foods and water. BPA is linked to cancers and obesity. It mimics oestrogen in the body and has hormone disrupting effects that not only affect our health but our pet’s health too.
As pet owners, we need to ensure a wholesome, toxin-free approach to diet and the environment around our animals and indeed ourselves in order to promote wellness.
At Healthful Pets, we have endeavoured to choose foods, supplements and treats which are low in chemical additives and feeding utensils that are BPA free. Our pet toys have also been carefully selected to ensure they are made from natural products such as rice husk, natural rubber, jute, natural hemp, non-toxic plastic or organic cotton.
The ingredients that our toys contain are clearly described on our website. So your dog can enjoy healthy play-time knowing that they won’t be ingesting harmful chemicals and toxins from their toys.
