This book clearly indicates that the massive recall of more than 1,000 different varieties of cat and dog food is but the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Beneath the radar of inadequate government oversight, there are serious problems about pet food manufacturers’ claims and assurances of product safety and quality. This book’s disturbing findings conclude that too many veterinarians are uninformed of the dangers of mixing some pet food with prescribed medication and antibiotics which may exacerbate the pet’s condition. Not just an exposé, Not Fit for a Dog! authors explore what is best to feed one’s pet for their ultimate health and happiness.

This review is from: Not Fit for a Dog!: The Truth About Manufactured Dog and Cat Food (Hardcover)
This book provides an easy to read overview of pet food industry practices, problems, and the possibly devastating impact of packaged foods upon the health of your dog or cat. Dr. Fox (and Co.) provide background information for the toxic pet food recalls a couple years ago, and explain how lack of oversight and profit margins, along with common veterinary decisions could lead chronic or fatal health problems. How is pet food produced? What is in the food, and how does it affect your animal? Equally important, this book informs pet owners of humane and practical solutions to common health problems which are CAUSED BY PET FOODS: allergies, urinary tract infections, diabetes, obesity, etc.
Very important differences between canine and feline physiology and nutritional requirements are discussed, and a few alternative easy home-made recipes for dog/cat food and treats are also provided. Good information about pet vaccinations and nutritional tables are included in the appendices. If your pet is sick, listless, fat, or allergic... You should read this book! The food you provide your animal could be making things worse, not better. THIS BOOK IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL PET OWNERS.

This review is from: Not Fit for a Dog!: The Truth About Manufactured Dog and Cat Food (Hardcover)
What an eye opener! I didn't realize until I read this book how truly out for profit the big pet food companies are. They brainwash us in veterinary school with free food and "education" about their products. What they don't tell us is that many of these same products may actually be what is making many of our patients sick! I commend Dr. Fox, et al for having the courage to write this book. I would really like to see him do an interview tour to get it more publicized. Anyway, I definitely recommend this book for all pet loving people and anyone involved in breeding or animal care.

This review is from: Not Fit for a Dog!: The Truth About Manufactured Dog and Cat Food (Hardcover)
I was in a phase where I had just bought myself a kitten and as usual I always overload on research to make sure I am doing everything right. I stumbled across some pet food recalls on the internet but wanted to know more detail about pet foods. This book sure did it for me. It has tons of information some of it disturbing at the least. If you own a cat or a dog I suggest you pick this book up and give it a read. Even if you choose not to believe it I think it is still an interesting read. There is so much in this book that you cannot find on the internet. I even went and bought other books similar to this one by other authors and for a month I could not stop reading about the "truth about manufactured dog and cat food".
