Not Fit for a Dog highlights the dangers of modern pet food—how it is unbalanced, creates addiction, and often contains ingredients that can literally poison your
pet. It destroys the myths propounded by pet food companies that human food is “bad”
for pets, and that natural food diets are unsafe.

In this revolutionary book, three veterinarians share their expertise to provide an
in-depth appraisal of the pet food industry and what people are feeding to their cats
and dogs. The first insurance for an animal’s health and happiness is good nutrition and
pet owners, veterinarians, and other professional animal care-providers will find this
book to be an invaluable and inspiring guide and resource.

In it the reader will learn:

• How to read pet food labels and what you need to avoid for pet’s sake.
• How to save on vet bills by preventing your animal from developing one or
more diet related diseases.
• Why your vet may not have much to say about pet foods.
• What diet-related diseases your animal may already have, and how a change in
diet can help.
• How our health and our pets’ health are interconnected.
• Why we should all support organic farming practices and suppliers.
This book is a massive indictment of the pet food industry, but also of our entire
approach to growing and processing food—for us humans as well as for our pets.
