Is Discounteasydeals dog food or cat food grain free?
Some Purina pet food brands offer grain-free formulas, to give pet owners more nutritional choices. These brands include Beneful, Beyond, Cat Chow, Purina ONE and Pro Plan. Just like all Purina foods, every ingredient in our grain-free formulas has a purpose, and is selected for nutrition to help pets live their best life possible. You can learn more about ingredients in our grain-free dog foods and grain-free cat foods on the Purina website.
Why does Discounteasydealsa use corn in dog and cat food? Is corn a filler?
“Filler” may be defined as feed ingredients for pet food with little or no nutritional value. Every ingredient in our formulas has a valuable function and plays a part in providing an excellent source of nutrition to your pet. When properly cooked, corn provides a highly digestible source of carbohydrates, essential fatty acids and protein, and thus, is not considered filler. Corn also has one of the highest levels of natural antioxidants of any grain. Purina only uses the same grades of corn traditionally used in human food products. Learn more about our ingredients.
My dog is a mess! Do you have any tips on at-home grooming?
While we know the grown-out look may not be the prettiest, keep in mind that dogs don’t care how they look! Daily brushing will help decrease shedding and prevent matting, and regular bathing will help dogs stay clean and fresh smelling. Don’t forget about dental health too! Now is a great time to get in the habit of brushing your dog’s teeth every day or two, and daily dental treats can also be helpful. Read our article on how to groom a dog at home for more tips. If you have specific concerns about grooming, your veterinarian may have some other suggestions for your pet.
Do I need to bathe my pets more during pandemic?
While there’s no reason to believe that pets in the US might be a source or can transmit Covid19, we recommend regular bathing as needed. Your veterinarian may be able to guide you a bit more on the recommended frequency for your dog. To help keep your dog clean in between baths, wiping his muzzle, feet, and belly with a soft damp cloth is a great way to tidy up after outdoor play.
What are the benefits of bringing pets to work?
At Purina, we’ve noticed many benefits. For example, bringing a dog to work helps us get outside and take more walks, and bringing a cat gives us another excuse to play. Beyond that, employees find that bringing a pet to work helps them maintain a healthy work-life balance. On our end, Purina has found it is a nice perk for our staff, which helps with retention. Studies have indicated that employees who bring pets to work show fewer signs of stress. That could be because pets help us relax and take time to meet new people.
What is complete and balanced nutrition in dog and cat food?
Pet food makes up the entirety of a pet’s diet, so it must deliver all the nutrients they need. That’s why pet foods so often use the phrase “complete and balanced.” Every pet food needs to meet federal (FDA) and state regulatory standards before it gets near your dog’s or cat’s bowl. For more information, read our philosophy on nutrition. Finally, we’ve noticed benefits for pets as well. They get to socialize with new people and play with other pets while enjoying more daily activity and more time with the owner they love.
