We are strong believers in the fact that dogs and cats have absolutely no biological requirement for grains - those "filler grains" found in almost all mass-marketed national brand foods.  Wheat and corn (and soy) are dominant ingredients in many pet foods in use today. However, these are poorly digestible and are little better than inexpensive fillers. In addition, wheat can become moldy before it is diverted from human consumption into "pet-grade" use. Modern corn may be genetically "enhanced". Both ingredients contain gluten, a hard-to-digest protein that may produce health problems in some animals.

Soggy Paws features a variety of retail products for both dogs and cats. We do not believe that you have to sacrifice quality for affordability. All of the foods we carry use high-quality, human-grade meats as one of the first ingredients and use no refined sugars, artificial flavors or chemical preservatives.
