Customer Review: Excellent Reference for Pets
I have used the original version of this book for years and love this revision. We do not have natural healthcare available here so it is wonderful to have a book like this as a reference guide.
Customer Review: Natural! The Best Way To Go!!
I am a vegetarian and only eat the best foods available so why would I feed my pets anything but the best as well?!! Commercial pet foods are loaded with preservatives, additives and other things that make me sick just thinking about it!! Dr. Pitcairn's book is loaded with a wealth of information. Starting with chapter 2 "What's really in Pet Food." I think most would be shocked to learn that everything from poultry feathers to fecal waste to leather, YES leather that is used to make belts and shoes!! The pet food industry is not regulated like most people think!! Even euthanized pets are used in some pet foods!! This book is so complete by the time you finish reading it you will know all you need to know on how to raised your pet the right way. The book has wonderful recipes that your pets will love to eat and are good for them too! Each chapter covers it's topic quite thoroughly which include natural diet, special diets, helping your pet make the switch, exercise and rest, grooming, creating a healthier environment, care for sick pets, holistic and alternative therapies and even saying goodbye to your pet and coping. And that's just part of part one! Part two covers diseases, health problems and treatments and much much more! This book is so thorough it's the only one you will ever need and trust me on this!! I have over 30 books on pet care and this is the only one I use now!! I even like the fact that Dr. Pitcairn is not pro vaccinations! There is a chapter on that too. Believe me when I say once you buy this book it will sit out on your kitchen counter! That is how often you will refer to it!! I love this book and have bought several copies as I do with most books that I think are a must have to give to family and friends. Your pets will thank you for getting this book by living a longer healthier life!!
