The Whole Pet Diet: Eight Weeks to Great Health for Dogs and Cats

by Andi Brown, Richard Pitcairn (Foreword by)

Overview

One in four pets is obese, and every year owners spends thousands of dollars treating allergies, joint problems, digestive disorders, and serious diseases that could improve dramatically with a nutritious diet. Yet despite promises of complete and balanced meals, most commercial pet foods contain chemical preservatives, indigestible fillers, and dangerous by-products.

If your pets are overweight, ailing, or aging‚ or you just want them to be as healthy as possible‚ THE WHOLE PET DIET offers a straightforward plan to achieve lifelong health and well-being. Featuring twenty-five easy recipes for homemade meals and treats, a guide to natural supplements, and practical tips for no-stress grooming and play, this holistic approach to pet care creates optimal health for dogs and cats‚ and it just might change the way you eat, too.

Editorial Reviews

Whole Pet Diet addresses health concerns in dogs and cats from the preventative nutrition angle. Believing that our pets are what they eat, author Brown maps out an entire program that any pet owner can understand and follow. She assesses your pet's condition; provides weekly food and exercise tracking charts and a weekly "checkup" guide; discusses vitamins and supplements; and shares many recipes and helpful tips. She concludes with suggestions for further reading and an index. Both authors are knowledgeable in their respective fields and include the usual precautions and disclaimers about following the advice of your veterinarian to ensure that the health and welfare of your pet is not compromised. Both titles are recommended, especially where interest in pets is high. Edell M. Schaefer, Brookfield P.L., WI Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
