Publisher's Synopsis
CHINA KILLED THOUSANDS OF PETS! Owners trusted industrial pet food, but 400 brands used the same grain poisoned with melamine (fake protein-plastic-think cookware, Formica, insulation) from China. This resulted in the biggest voluntary recall in history.
The government didn't order the recall-the manufacturers did...in a full-blown panic. There was zero government oversight then in 2007, and there is zero oversight now.
This book tells the truth about feeding your dog or cat:
- The terms organic, human-grade, premium, high-pro, senior, and natural have no legal meaning. Thanks, marketing.
- "I thought he was getting old." No, he suffers from a lifetime of eating prisoner-of-war food.
- Ingredients are often processed with heat, solvents, and chemicals four to six times before the pet food company runs them through multiple processes again.
- The pet food industry convinced us that feeding our pets is too difficult to manage. Well, it would be if we used what they use.
- Manufacturers can say anything they want-thanks again marketing. It may be made of crankcase oil, shoe leather, charcoal, and crushed limestone, but they can boast that it is "fully balanced and complete."
- A roach or mouse accidentally processed in pet food may actually add quality to some commercial pet foods.
- You have to be a scientist to cook for a pet food company, but you don't have to be a scientist to cook for your pet.
- Find out how easy it can be. (CAT RECIPE SEVEN: Open a can of chicken, and put it on a plate.) It's so easy, even a caveman can do it. Wait a minute...
Learn about poisonous pet foods, nutritional labels, definitions of ingredients, the truth about supplements, the truth about pet obesity, myths about feeding pets, and so much more.
