Organic cat food sales were up about sixty percent over the last year, and it’s growing faster than the rate of organic food sales for humans!

Organic pet foods are still just a fraction of a percent of overall organic food sales, but it’s obviously a growing business. Natural human food sellers are busily placing organic cat food on their shelves, and it’s taking off.

Organic cat food can cost up to twice as much per bag as traditional cat food, but many cat people feel that the extra nutrition and lack of added chemicals is worth the cost. Small companies have sprung up, and word of “mouth” on the internet allows owners to buy organic foods online with free shipping, if you order enough.

People who eat organic foods often want their pets to have the same type of nutrition. And retailers have found that the type of people who purchase organic cat food aren’t the type who shop at Walmart or Costco. They’re usually of a higher social stature as far as employment is concerned.

Experts say there is no proof that organic foods can extend the life of your cat. But you can still feel better, knowing that you’re giving your cat the best that you can.
