What is the best food to feed my pet?
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as the perfect food for your pet. Nutritional needs vary
by species, breed, age, health, and activity level. However, we can work with you to choose
an appropriate diet for your pet. Most premium pet foods that we carry meet the following
exacting quality standards:

• Human grade ingredients, from whole food sources
• Free of common allergens or cheap fillers
  (no corn, no wheat, no soy)
• No artificial fiber sources
  (fiber should come from human grade whole foods)
• No preservatives (U.S. controlled meat)
• Fixed formula (same ingredients used every time

Thinking about feeding raw?
The raw diet has many advantages, but not all pets are ideal candidates Here are some useful
tips to remember when considering the raw diet

• Has your pet been de-wormed?
• Is your pet ’s immune system compromised?
• Is your pet adjusted to its new environment?
• Does your pet have a sensitive stomach?
• Is your pet on chemotherapy?
• Is the pet new to your family?
• If the pet is new, what was it eating before you got them?
• Is your pet’s general stress level high?
• Do you intend to feed kibble as well as raw?

Our goal is to find the diet that works best for you and your pets. If you answered yes to
any of these questions, we strongly encourage you to talk to a Bend Pet Express employee
and your veterinarian before trying the raw diet.
