 Raw diet info way off. February 2, 2005
12 out of 20 found this review helpful
I have to admit, I do like the Food Pets Die For book, but this...this has such a high level of misinformation and paranoia surrounding raw diet that I'd give it zero stars if possible.
Raw diet, when fed correctly is NOT dangerous and it's certainly not a 'fad'.
Perhaps for fickle owners it is, but not for owners who actually research and work at it.
Kibbles have only been around and popular for MAYBE 70-100 years tops, and in some parts of the world are still not very popular.
Raw food, and diets based on whole prey, meat scraps, vegetable scraps, and bones have been around for several thousand to million years. If anything is a 'fad', it's kibble.
http://www.rawfed.com/myths/ does an excellent job of dispelling the myths and overhyped fears surrounding raw diet which pretty much means it debunks a good portion of this book.

I found the book to be informative, however, I ask those of you who "poo poo" the idea of raw feeding, and still buy into the designer pet foods and "natural human grade" pet foods available...research, research, research. "Human grade" to start...but what about the quality to finish. Then ask yourself this simple question...what would a dog eat in the wild? What did dogs eat before commercial dog food became availible? I have NEVER fed my dogs "dog food". Dogs before commercial brainwashing were fed scraps. My grandmothers dogs always lived well into their late teens or more on that type of diet. My dogs, I am happy to say, have never had to go to the vet for illness...EVER! My oldest living was 23 long, active, healthy years...yep 23! If your dog is suffering from allergies, arthritus, etc....try raw...or quick stir fry for your dog...and watch the change. You can pre-cook or pre pack individual meals and freeze. It is very easy to do...and your pet will thank you for it. As for bones...they are NOT brittle...unless cooked. Look at wolves, foxes, dingo's, coyotes, hyeanas...wild, yes, but no different...they are all canines. The book is informative, but read on..and try real human grade...something you would put into your own, or your childs mouth without hesitation.

Protect Your Pet: More Shocking Facts by pet care consultant Ann N. Martin is a sobering compendium of things the pet food industry doesn't want people to know. From the tenuous state of pet food regulations to the latest on mad cow disease and pet food, Protect Your Pet offers a severe criticism of what goes into your beloved animal companion's bowl, and what you can do about it. Other chapters address hazards such as over-vaccination, cancer in animals, human cruelty against animals, and other concerns in this first-rate, highly recommended information resource for true pet lovers.

Ann Martin, who pioneered the effort of exposing the commercial kibble industry with her first book, "Food Pets Die For",
has outdone herself with "Protect Your Pet...More Shocking Facts". Ann conducts an impressive investigation, that is honest, clear and non-biased! "Protect Your Pet" is fun, informative and provides fascinating facts without scare tactics. I am impressed that she took on the provocative "barf" diet, and has joined veterinarians across the country in exposing the dangers of this rediculous cult/fad. This is a "must read" item for any pet owner!
