FDA allow Pet Food makers to Break the Law - article
Excerpts from "The Truth about Pet Food" website: "The FDA’s stance on animals – Your Pet – consuming a pet food made from dead, dying, disabled, or diseased animals: ‘We know it’s a risk, we know it’s against the law, but we don’t care; we’ve got to protect industry.’ "   .... "Federal Law states misbranding of a food is when the label provides misleading information; AAFCO and the FDA ignore the law and allow pet foods to make misleading claims.  Every pet food label that has been allowed to make an “unqualified claim, directly or indirectly” is in direct violation of Federal Law."  Please read the whole article and note what she suggests to do to help!

Treatments for pets with diabetes include: natural diet/high-fiber diet/high-protein/low carb, exercise, glandular therapy, chromium, and vanadium.

Natural Diet  
Dietary therapy is useful in both dogs and cats with diabetes. Most diabetic dogs require insulin as they have type I diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes). Many cats may not require insulin, as they have type II diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). These cats are most likely to respond to therapies that may include dietary therapy, nutritional supplementation, and exercise.  Feeding a LOW-carb diet seems to help cats with diabetes according to a cat care book; sometimes even helps avoid the use of insulin! Find out more about what's actually in the food you feed your pets to help them stay healthy. The Raw food diet seems to work wonders too!

"Animal Diseases and their Natural Care -  more on the RAW FOOD DIET HERE.
    A growing number of veterinarians state that processed pet food (kibbles and canned food) is the main cause of illness and premature death in the modern dog and cat. In December 1995, the British Journal of Small Animal Practice published a paper contending that processed pet food supresses the immune system and leads to liver, kidney, heart and other diseases. Dr. Kollath, of the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, headed a study done on animals. When young animals were fed cooked and processed foods they initially appeared to be healthy. However, as the animals reached adulthood, they began to age more quickly than normal and also developed chronic degenerative disease symptoms. A control group of animals raised on raw foods aged less quickly and were free of degenerative disease."

"Feeding Your Dog a Healthy Natural Diet:
It is advisable to feed your dog a healthy and natural diet. Avoid snacks or poor-quality foods rich in starch and sugar. Include fresh vegetables such as broccoli and leafy greens in your dog's diet. Feeding a hard raw vegetable such as a carrot to your dog regularly will also help clean his teeth.
Calcium and phosphorus, together with vitamins C and B complex are also beneficial to fortify your dog's teeth. Brewer's yeast is a good source of calcium and phosphorus."
