Hound & Gatos Explains Pet Food Complete Meals vs. Toppers

According to the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty of Animals (ASPCA), it is estimated that 70-80 million dogs and 74-96 million cats are owned in the United States. Most pet owners want the best for their pets and it starts with the best pet food on the market. Will Post, president of Hound & Gatos Pet Foods, explains the difference between meal toppers and complete meals for your pet.

“I’m always surprised when a consumer calls into our office and mentions that they have been paying 50 – 99 cents higher for just a treat vs. a complete meal,” says Will Post, President of Hound & Gatos Pet Foods. “Hound & Gatos offers Complete Meals For All Life Stages with all the necessary ingredients for a healthy pet.”

Dry kibbles are formulated using high carbohydrate ingredients like potatoes, tapioca, grains and fractioned starches. With dogs and cats needing substantially fewer carbohydrates than humans, it’s important to focus their nutrition on things that they efficiently process and metabolize like the fresh meats used to make Hound & Gatos canned foods, with 100% of the protein and fat coming from animal sources.

When shopping for the best pet food for your pet, look out for these three things:

· Note that canned pet food is not always the complete meal. Carefully read the label to make sure you aren’t buying a topper, which is not designed to be a full meal.

· Be aware that canned pet food should be made with supplements and fortified with vitamins and minerals. Buying the topper canned pet food is throwing away your money on food that doesn’t give your pet a complete nutritious meal.

· Canned pet foods are much healthier than dry kibble. If you do purchase dry kibble, it is critical to add canned meat to the products purchased.

Hound & Gatos was awarded the “Most Trusted Pet Foods” by Truthaboutpetfood.com and USA Made, offering 100 percent meat products.

“Complete meals and toppers look similar when you’re shopping in the store. It’s important to make sure you read the label carefully so you can buy your pet the best product out there,” says Post. “Hound & Gatos aims to be the best pet food on the market and provides the necessary nutrients for a healthy, happy pet.”
