For hundreds of years, carnivores like dogs and cats got a good dose of healthy antioxidants that we usually associate with vegetables and fruits. While they weren't necessarily avid broccoli-eaters, much of the meat they ate came from grazing animals - wild or domesticated. And the antioxidants these prey animals got from their food kept showing up farther up the food chain.

However, today, most of the meat in pet food comes from grain-fed animals. And pet food manufacturers do little to make up for the absence of vitamins critical for your pet's health.

For this reason adding a power-packed, antioxidant and chlorophyll-rich food like the algae, chlorella, can make a huge difference in your pet's energy and wellbeing

Along with grass-fed meats, our pets' ancestors varied diet included organ meats, eggs and fish. And again, this wide spectrum of food sources gave them nutrition that today's pet foods can't match.

The phospholipid, lecithin, is one of these important nutrients. A critical component of every cell membrane, lecithin plays a fundamental role in good health. In particular it supports brain and nerve health and makes a big difference in your pet's glossy coat.

As holistic pet veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker explains, in the wild, our pets' ancestors used to not only eat the tender cuts of meat, but the ligaments and fur. Even some of the partially-digested stomach content would end up as part of dinner. These special parts of their diet served a very important role in their digestion. It's how our animal friends got enough fiber. ^[3]

Fiber helps your pet's body move food through the colon, helps them clean out toxins and supports healthy intestinal bacteria.

Of course, your pets don't get much of this out of a can of pet food. But they can get it from supplemental nutrition like chlorella. Chlorella's fiber is particularly helpful in both cleaning out toxins. And boosting healthy intestinal bacteria growth.
