As a friendly reminder for pet parents that proper nutrition can extend the life of your dog or cat, March is officially designated Pet Nutrition Month. More and more options for proper pet nutrition are found in the store aisles, but they may not be best for your pet. Add the constant fear of pet food recalls, and no wonder many consumers are skeptical about the safety of the leading brands. Now one pet food company puts the power back in the pet owner’s hands.

RedMoon Custom PetFood allows pet parents to custom design the optimal diet for their dog or cat and have it delivered right to their door. They can select from several base kibble recipes, right down to the kibble size. Then they can pick and choose the right supplements, from Immune Booster to Joint Reviver, for their pet’s specific needs. The concept of an online, customized pet food manufacturing and delivery service is a pet industry first.

Jason Bailey, founder and president of RedMoon PetFood Fresh, Inc., believes that custom fortified pet food is a concept whose time has come. He cites a recent survey by the American Pet Product Association (APPA) reporting that the number of dog owners who feed their dog food fortified with vitamins and minerals is on the rise.

“Pet owners are becoming more and more concerned about the nutrition of their pets,” commented Bailey. “They’re spending more and more money on food plus expensive vitamins and supplements.” In contrast, RedMoon takes a high quality dog and cat food and gives the consumer the power to specialize their pet’s nutrition with a selection of supplements based on current health, age, breed and nutritional requirements. According to Bailey, an educated pet owner is his best customer.

The natural ingredients used in RedMoon products are the finest available – including regionally sourced antibiotic and hormone-free meats, raw, whole fruits and vegetables, highly nutritious liver and low glycemic carbohydrate sources such as yellow peas, plus all-natural, chelated vitamins and minerals. Each base kibble recipe is slow cooked in small batches to preserve more of the essential nutrients pets need to thrive. Additionally, all RedMoon products are gluten, grain, soy, wheat, rice and corn-free. This is especially important for pet owners experiencing allergy problems with their pets. RedMoon formulas have been developed and tested by a Natural Pet Nutritionist along with a team of PhDs in Animal Science. Plus, every bag of RedMoon is traceable because it’s imprinted with a unique manufacturing batch code and date.

About RedMoon PetFood Fresh, Inc.

RedMoon gets its name from the two full autumn moons that show a red color – the Harvest Moon and the Blood Moon (aka Hunter’s Moon). The significance of these moons is that when they are present in the fall, there is about an extra 30 minutes of light for farmers to finish their harvesting and for predators to track their prey. The two moons exemplify RedMoon’s philosophy of using harvest fresh ingredients and fresh meats to produce the best possible nutrition for our customers – dogs and cats.

RedMoon is the world’s only pet food producer that invites pet owners to participate in the process of creating food specific to their pet’s needs, and having each custom blended bag delivered directly to their door. To uphold their commitment to using locally sourced ingredients, RedMoon operates two processing facilities, one in Brainerd, Minnesota and the other in Crossfield, Alberta, Canada. Every bag of RedMoon is traceable with a manufacturing batch code and date.

RedMoon Custom PetFood prides itself on being socially responsible, ethical, and high quality.

March is Adopt A Guinea Pig month. Is a guinea pig the right pet for your family? Pigs (cavvies) are social creatures, usually happiest in pairs or where they can see and talk to other pigs, but they can also live happily by themselves if you show them lots of affection!
