We are all about saving trees, but if you’d like to spread the good-n-green word by posting an Ideal Bite tip in a public place, we encourage you do so on recycled paper. Thanks and Happy Biting!

If 10,000 SF Biters each feed one pet a better diet, in a year we'll avert enough mystery meat to fill the Richmond District's Rossi Pool 3.5 times.

After accidentally spraying his cat with water while trying to bathe his parrot, a Canadian man lost a pint of blood when the cat attacked him.

Primal Urge

The Bite:

It's scary enough that kitty takes out a rodent every now and then, but what if she turns those claws...on you? (Dun dunnn...) Keep her happy by feeding her as well as you feed yourself. Started by animal lovers looking to keep their own pets healthy, Primal Foods uses only human-grade raw meats and organic produce in its dog and cat foods - never animal by-products, which can actually include roadkill. (Seriously.) From pheasant patties to beef and salmon nuggets, each formula is mixed with produce and vitamin supplements so your mouser stays healthy. They may cost a little more than dry food, but isn't it worth it to keep your hide intact?

Wanna Try?

Primal Foods, available at Jeffrey's Natural Pet Foods, 3809 18th St. at Church St. (415-864-1414). Feline Raw Frozen Formula, $4.50-$6/lb.
