With Earth Day rapidly approaching — April 22nd to be exact — we at BestBullySticks thought this would be a great opportunity to share ideas about making the most of this important holiday. After all, a clean and healthy environment will benefit both humans and their pets across the globe. First things first, though. Let’s take a step back take a look at the origins of this great holiday.

Earth Day

Originally conceived by John McConnell, an advocate of peace, religion, science and the common good, the idea of Earth Day was first presented in 1969 at a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) summit in San Francisco.

What was to follow was entirely grassroots in nature. Earth Day began as a peaceful cross-country demonstration celebrated by over twenty million Americans on April 22nd, 1970. With such widespread support, lawmakers were quick to take notice of just how interested people were in environmental awareness, and more importantly, reform.

Following the events of April 22nd, 1970, momentum for the movement steadily grew and by 1990 the initiative was taken internationally. Now organized by the Earth Day Network, Earth Day is celebrated in 141 nations across the globe! Read more

The next time you take a stroll down the pet aisle at your local grocery store to pick up dog food take a closer look at your store's offerings. Far too many brands, even the big names touting naturality, are only selling to you and not your dog's dietary needs. Loaded with grain-based fillers, these products are simply ill-suited for your dog. Don't worry, BestBullySticks has you covered!

From a biological standpoint, all dogs are scavenging carnivores. There's no refuting it! From the smallest Yorkie to the biggest Great Dane, your
loved ones need a diet high in protein and low in carbohydrates. Luckily, our friends over at Orijen have come up with a fantastic dry dog food formulated with only the freshest all-natural regional ingredients. Read more

The majority of dog food on the market does not reflect a dog’s natural diet. Instead they are full of chemicals and fillers and are nothing like what a dog would eat in the wild. As carnivores, dogs and cats cannot convert vegetation into nutrients within their own stomach as this is not what they’re naturally meant to eat. Most organic dog food tries to re-introduce Mother Nature to the dog food world and feed them what nature intended for them.

There are many positive reasons why organic dog food is much better for you pet than regular poor quality dog food. If your dog has allergies these could be caused by the artificial colours, flavourings and preservatives in regular dog food, so cutting them out the equation could stop your dog’s skin irritations and other allergies. Organic dog food is naturally more nutritious and it can therefore give your dog more energy. This energy is particularly more important if your pet is overweight because this will help them to move about more and go down to a more healthy weight particularly with diseases like diabetes being a potential risk. Another point is that organic food does not contain bulk-fillers, so your dog would only consume what is needed to maintain healthy energy levels and life functions. Bulk fillers put in regular dog food make it more difficult to dogs to digest, due to organic dog food not containing these fillers; dogs can therefore digest it easier. Finally, with more nutritious food going into your dog, they will feel, look and act better, improving their quality of life and also extending their life expectancy.

Best Bully Sticks supplies many brands of both dry and wet organic dog food. Firstly, an example of a dry dog food supplied by Best Bully Sticks is K9 Natural. They come in Beef and Lamb flavours, contain no antibiotics or hormones and are suitable for all breeds of dog. They are made from 85% top quality meat and 15 % fruit and vegetables and do not cook any ingredients, due to the loss of nutrition when cooking. Another example of dry organic dog food supplied by Best Bully Sticks is Orijen dog food. This is grain free, is 20% vegetables and 80% meat and mirrors the diet of dogs in the wild. Their ingredients are delivered fresh each day so they contain no preservatives and are never frozen.
Secondly, Best Bully sticks supplies an organic dog food called Tripett. It is based on tripe and as dogs cannot receive nutrients from grains and grasses, this wet food is based on partly digested food and from this they gain many nutrients and vitamins. Tripett is 100% natural and contains no additives, preservatives, fillers or artificial ingredients. Tripett is available in a range of many different flavours.

To feed your dog with food that is filled with natural nutrients and vitamins that is more reflective of their natural diet, grab some organic dog food from Best Bully Sticks. You’re guaranteed to notice the difference in your dog.

The average dry pet food is grain based, however dogs and cats evolved and developed to have a diet containing a large amount of meat, a carnivorous diet. This return to the natural diet is what makes Orijen Dog Food uniquely distinguishable from other pet food producers.

The current pet food market is flooded with grain based foods lacking in the nutrients your pets could largely benefit from. Instead, these dry pet foods contain high levels of carbohydrates and low levels of meat and protein. Many ingredients feature in these products as more of an attraction to draw in consumers rather than benefitting the nourishment of dogs and cats.

Dogs and cats have many biological features which define them as carnivores and reiterate that their diet should be full of animal protein and fat. Their teeth are sharp for the grabbing, ripping, tearing and shredding of meat, they have strong jaw and neck muscles that are perfect for chewing meat and their stomachs are designed to hold large quantities of meat. Just because it is possible for dogs and cats to solely live off of plant based foods does not mean this is the best diet for them or that they will be healthy.

This necessity for a more natural approach to the diet of your pets is met by Oriijen Dog Food, it is biologically appropriate, high in protein, low in carbohydrates and finally, grain-free. It contains the highest quantities and qualities of meat whilst also eliminating ingredients such as cereal grains and vegetable proteins, which are not features of a dog’s natural diet. The ingredients used by Orijen provided by local suppliers who are trusted by Canadian households and meet the highest food safety standards.
Orijen Dog Food contains a suitable range of hormone and additive- free meat from free-run poultry to free-range red meats to fish, all of which are provided regionally so they are fresh each day and never frozen. The meat is also slow cooked on the day of arrival to ensure the level of nutrients is at the highest possible level, unlike those meats which have been previously frozen. The dog food is made up of a hefty 80% meat and 20% fruit and vegetables, a much more realistic reflection on the diet nature intended for your pets.
Best Bully Sticks supply three types of dry dog food, Orijen Adult 80/20 Formula, Orijen Regional Red Meat Formula and Orijen 6 Fresh Fish with Sea Vegetables, all of which replicate the natural diet. Each product contains a different selection of meat, fruit and vegetables as well as phytonutrients, B-vitamins and trace minerals. Those containing wild-caught fish also contain omega-3 , which is known to improve and enhance the quality of your pets coat, making it shiny and well conditioned.
Orijen’s restoration of the food dogs and cats were naturally developed to consume means a return of the nutrients and nourishment your pets need to live a healthy and happy lifestyle so you know you are giving your pet the very best chance in life and feeding them the way nature intended them to be fed.

Nourish As Nature Intended With Orijen Dog Food !

Dogs and cats evolved as hunters — the structure of their teeth, jaws and digestive system scientifically classifies them as carnivores, adapted to a meat-based diet that’s rich in animal protein and fat.

Yet witness the current trend of ‘holistic’ pet foods that are largely grain-based, contain little meat or protein, exceed 40% carbohydrates, and feature fashionable ingredients — more often for their consumer appeal than for any nutritional benefit to dogs or cats.

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE ORIJEN IS UNIQUELY DIFFERENT FROM TODAY’S CONVENTIONAL DRY DOG AND CAT FOODS

Protein-rich, carbohydrate-limited and grain-free, ORIJEN features the highest fresh meat inclusions of any dry dog or cat food, at the same time excluding many conventional pet food ingredients — such as inappropriate high-glycemic cereal grains and vegetable proteins that simply are not present in the natural diet.

To mirror the natural diet, ORIJEN also features a diversity of meats including fresh, free-run chicken and turkey, fresh whole eggs, fresh free-range red meats and fresh saltwater and freshwater fish — all in a Biologically Appropriate ratio of 80 percent meat, 20 percent fruits and vegetables, and zero grain (80.20.0).

By mirroring the foods that dogs and cats evolved to eat, Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN nourishes as Mother Nature intended, resulting in the peak health and happiness of your cherished dog or cat, as well as your peace of mind.
