But don't wait until you get a book to start giving your pets real food! As Dr. Ihor Basko D.V.M. says, "Home cooking beats anything in a can or bag."

See Spot Live Longer by Beth Taylor and Steve Brown

The authors spell out the message loud and clear: cancer is the number one disease killer of dogs. They tell that manufactured dry dog foods do not provide the nutrients our dogs need and thus cause malnutrition; commercial foods also contain toxins that are overburdening their bodies and compromising their immune systems so they fall prey to disease. Dry dog and cat food is highly processed, grain-based and lacks live, whole nutrients. Throughout this book, you will learn truth behind much of the so-called conventional wisdom regarding dogs. For instance, if we follow the advice, "Never feed 'people food' or table scraps to your animals," our dogs and cats would never have an opportunity to eat any of those whole foods we know to be critical for fighting cancer and promoting a healthy immune system: vegetables and fruits in their original forms.

He defines the major diet-induced diseases and explains why our pets are allergic and intolerant to pet foods. He includes many recipes for the dietary management of diseases.

Straight From The Horse's Mouth by Amelia Kinkade

This great animal psychic teaches you how to actually communicate with your pets. She says, "Cats and dogs tell me the biggest culprit in destroying their health and happiness is commercial pet food.
