It’s estimated that there are between 74-90 million pet cats in the United States. One common issue that many cat owners have is that their pet is finicky or picky when it comes to food, almost to the point that they would rather not eat at all. The good news is there are some things people can do to help get their furry feline to overcome being a finicky eater.

“Cats are kind of like kids when it comes time to eat,” explains Will Post, founder and CEO, Hound & Gatos Pet Foods Corporation. “There are things they will eat and things they won’t, and they are not shy about letting you know either way. Many people find it difficult to find a food their cat will actually eat on a regular basis, but it doesn’t have to be like that.”

There are reasons why some pets may be more finicky than others, but a lot of it has to do with what they are being offered, and how it’s being offered to them. Here are some tips for helping a finicky cat start loving their food:

According to PetMD, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one of the most common causes of vomiting and chronic diarrhea in dogs and cats. If your beloved pet is suffering from IBD, the best medicine is a healthy diet aimed to be gentle on your pet’s stomach. Hound & Gatos Pet Foods Company provides a unique trout-flavored dog and cat food, which is the number one protein choice, specially designed to help pets with allergies and stomach issues, such as IBD.

“Many dogs and cats suffer from stomach issues, whether genetically inherited or a direct result of a poor dog food laced with artificial flavoring and unhealthy corn or wheat products,” affirms Will Post, president of Hound and Gatos Pet Foods Company. “Our trout-flavored dog and cat food is aimed at helping dogs and cats that suffer from a delicate stomach or food allergies.”

When choosing your pet food, think about this---trout-flavored pet food comes with a host of advantages, including:

In America, we tend to think of man as dog’s best friend. In fact, it’s estimated that there are over 70 million of them kept as pets throughout the country. But on the other side of the world in South Korea, it’s a whole other tragic story. There, dog meat is considered a delicacy and it’s estimated that over 2.5 million dogs per year are served up in the meat trade, amounting to around 100,000 tons being consumed per year. The estimated value of their meat trade is around $2 billion, but it’s not stopping an American animal rescue group from stepping up to help make positive changes.

“It’s a tragic story for our best friends over in South Korea,” explains Robert Misseri, president of Guardians of Rescue, an animal rescue organization. “They are suffering from mass slaughter and being served up in over 20,000 restaurants in that country. We plan to do what we can to help the dogs.”
