Product Description
The commercial pet food industry has a secret to hide — and Ann Martin wants to make sure you know it. Her research reveals some startling facts: that the pet food industry conducts animal testing in order to improve their product, and includes euthanized cats and dogs in the mix to heighten protein content. In this revised and updated edition, Martin continues to explore the shocking processes by which commercial pet foods are produced. She offers alternative recipes for feeding pets, nutritional advice, and an exploration of "Pet Peeves," in which she explores several scams aimed at pet owners. This groundbreaking book gives us a glimpse into exactly what we are doing when we buy pet food.

5 out of 5 stars not new news to me   November 2, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

When my 4 year old Border collie began having seizures I took her to a holistic as well as a homeopathic vet. The first thing out of both of their mouths was, what do you feed her. Thank goodness I had been making her food for a few years by that time. I had to tweek her diet and add more supplements, we treated her with homeopathy and gave her massive amounts of anti oxidents. She had three more seizures after that and then they stopped and has never had another one since. In the meantime I read everything I could get my hands on pertaintig to healthy changes for my girl. She is now 10 years old and looks and acts like a puppy. Even the vet comments on how healthy she is. This is one of the many books I read and let me tell you, It opened my eyes, WIDE OPEN. I have several friends whos dogs have cancer and they refuse to believe that changing their diets will have any effect on healing their pets. It makes me so sad. I also have a 14 yr old Border Collie who has had several health issues and I cook for her. She is doing well and looks great. Everyone we meet cannot believe she will be 15 in five months. It is worth reading and making that change.

My husband saw first hand the inside of a rendering plant located less than one mile from us...he saw dead animals of all kinds, dogs and cats and road kill...he was sick for days after that...This dog/cat food debacle ties in very closely with a USDA program called NAIS...NAIS(national animal identification system) was made to benefit corporate ag so they could sell their meat products on a global level but while they get one lot number per groups of factory farmed animals, the private horse/livestock owner will have to register their premises with the govt, microchip and file reports on all births, deaths and off-property movements and if disease is suspected, a 6 mile radius of animals can be depopulated. Cats and dogs are not included, YET! In a nutshell, NAIS is like a world traveler having a disease but forcing YOU to take/pay for the meds, then he goes a declares he is cured, and continues to travel the world. Makes absolutely no sense, benefits no one, but that is how NAIS will work. NAIS will affect everyone who eats, and not in a good way. see nonais dot org for more info.


4 out of 5 stars Interesting and informative!   August 14, 2008

This book raised and answered a lot of questions about what, exactly, is in the food I give my dogs. It also includes great advice on how to read pet food labels, and how to decipher the pet food "lingo" on the packages. I recommend this book for any dog or cat owner, to help them make good choices about the food they give their pets.


5 out of 5 stars No wonder dog food ingredients are difficult to decipher!   August 10, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is difficult for me to read because I thought that I have always fed my dogs wholesome food when I was actually poisoning them because I bought into the lies of the pet food industry.

I found the layout of the book to be very helpful in identifing what the "real" ingredients in pet food were, and most times, they are shocking; meat and bone meal = road kill and euthanized companion animals, among other things. The book shares what should and shouldn't be on the ingredient label. The author presents information on why the food industry is the way it is, and the newest revised addition explains the details pet food recall of 2007.

The suggestions the author makes are very user friendly. She does not assert that animal caretakers must stick to one type of diet, but expains the pros and cons of all diets (commercial, home cooked and raw foods like BARF) in a relatively unbiased way.

This book is an extremely important resource to have for those of us who love our animal companions and want to ensure we provide them the best life possible.

I am a veterinary student and read this book for a project. I could not believe the inaccuracies that this author presents in her book. She bases all of her "facts" on emails and assumptions. First, there are no antibiotics in your meat! There is a little thing called the "withdrawal period" for all drugs used in food animals. Cows cannot go to slaughter until the antibiotics are out of their systems. This is a law. The withdrawal periods are established when drugs are created and approved by the FDA. Second, the amount of hormones that are put into cattle are so minimal that they cannot do you or your pets any harm! One 3 oz piece of steak contains approx. 1.9 ng (that is .0000000019 g) of estrogen. A 3 oz portion of cabbage contains 2000 ng of estrogen. The average man produces 136,000 ng of estrogen everyday! So what is 1.9 ng going to do to you, really. Third, yes, pet food companies use rendered meat in their foods. However, they also cook the meat at extremely high temperatures and pressures to kill the bacteria, spores, and parasites. I would like to see fresh meat used in pet food, but until consumers are are willing to pay twice as much for dog food, that is not going to happen. And finally, homemade diets are a bad idea. Raw meat contains deadly bacteria, parasites, and more. Plus the bones are an intestinal obstruction just waiting to happen. There are many many other problems with this book that I could go on about, but my review is long enough. So you may read this book for fun, but realize that the majority of it is just fiction and should be dismissed.
