Fresh Pet Meals
Fresh pet meals have gained popularity as an alternative to traditional dog food, offering a diet that closely resembles human food in terms of ingredient quality and preparation. Here's a comparison between fresh pet meals and traditional dog food,
Nutritional Content
Digestibility
Skin and Coat Health
Allergy Risk
Cost
Storage and Handling
In conclusion, while fresh pet meals offer substantial wellness benefits over traditional kibble dog food, including higher nutrient content and improved digestibility, It's always essential for pet owners to weigh these factors and consult with a veterinarian to determine the best diet for their dog's individual needs and health status.

As someone who has dedicated their life to caring for animals, I want to bring hope to American companion animal families.My passion for animal welfare began when I was just five years old and received my first rescued dog, Lady. Today, millions of America's companion animals are going hungry and being euthanized because families cannot feed them.
The price of pet food has surged, with a 45.5% increase on average compared to 2020 prices. Factors such as rising ingredient costs and inflation contribute to this alarming trend. While corporate profits soar, millions of Americans grapple with food insecurity and reside in food deserts.
As of 2023, over 66% of U.S. households, totaling 86.9 million homes, have cherished pets. In 2022, Americans spent a staggering $136.8 billion on their pets, demonstrating the profound bond and responsibility we hold toward our animal companions.
Today, America faces a multitude of challenges and opportunities. To reaffirm our greatness as a nation, we must unite with a shared intent and determination, transcending wealth, age, gender, politics, color, or race. We are one nation, indivisible, and our collective greatness hinges on our collective commitment to our values.
I stand before you as one individual, representing the countless voices that cannot speak for themselves but deeply love humanity. Our message is simple: compassion, empathy, and ethical treatment of all sentient beings are paramount. We must recognize the interconnectedness of all living creatures and assume the responsibility to care not only for their well-being but also for the entire natural world.
The position of this petition, and the thousands of Americans is clear: ending the suffering and hunger experienced by families and their beloved companion animals who lack access to food and shelter. While it may seem insignificant to some, the struggle is real for many who are going to bed hungry and homeless, both humans and their loyal animal companions.It is imperative that government programs addressing food insecurity and food deserts extend their reach to the 66% of American households with companion animals. This is not a trivial matter; it is a humanitarian imperative. .
Companion animal hunger and euthanization is why we launched this Petition, demanding Congress, the Senate, and the USDA to address this growing issue of food insecurity and food deserts. We must extend our compassion and humanity to all sentient beings, and this includes the two-thirds of American households with companion animals. As Albert Schweitzer once said, "Until mankind extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, he will not himself find peace." We must act now to end the suffering and hunger experienced by families and their beloved companions who lack access to food and shelter.
Please sign and share our petition to bring hope to America's starving pets. Together, we can make a change happen. https://chng.it/WvmnZjXNML

The Animal Welfare Act (AWA) is the only U.S. Federal law that regulates the treatment of animals in research, teaching, testing, exhibition, transport, and by dealers. It was signed into law on August 24, 1966, and has been amended numerous times since its original passage.
The Act is enforced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Animal Care. The AWA requires that minimum standards of care and treatment be provided for animals used in research, teaching, testing, transported commercially, or exhibited to the public.
It also gives the USDA authority to make regulations to implement and enforce the law by issuing detailed guidance and standards. The full text of the Animal Welfare Act can be found on the Gov.Info website and the USDA website. AWA ANIMAL ACT & FARM ANIMAL RESEARCH LEGISLATION
