Food is one of the most powerful tools we have to support vitality, resilience, and long-term health. Most of us think carefully about what we put in our pets’ bowls, and those decisions truly make a difference.
A recent study looking at commercial dog and cat foods found that nearly 77% of those they tested contained detectable levels of mycotoxins or pesticide residues. Dry foods had the highest levels, likely because grain ingredients are more prone to mold growth and glyphosate exposure during storage and processing.
