Despite their promise of a complete and balanced meal, most commercial pet foods are chock-full of dangerous by-products, indigestible fillers, and chemical preservatives. It's no wonder that owners spends thousands of dollars every year treating their pets' digestive disorders, tumors, joint and back problems, skin irritations, allergies, and heart, liver, and kidney disease. In THE WHOLE PET DIET, Andi Brown combines simple home cooking with natural supplements, dedicated playtime, exercise, and good old-fashioned pampering to help regulate pets' weight and tap into their natural healing powers.

BEWARE. This book is an infomercial in print.:
This book is an informercial. The author clearly has the intention of selling her less-than-ideal pet foods and treats to the reader. The fact that this author thinks it's appropriate to feed dogs grains including pasta is shocking. The author's diets are quite unhealthy by any standard. "Pea Protein" is a leading ingredientin her dog foods. This shouts "WARNING!" at anyone who knows about nutrition. Adding this processed ingredient is a sneaky way to reduce the amount of meat needed to meet minimum protein... more info
Written by director of Halo-claims to cure cancer and blindness with Halo pet food:
This book does have some relevant information. However, it is written by the director of Halo pet food and basically sells their products throughout the pages. Also, on page 18 the author claims to have cured a dog's cancer and blindness with a specific pet food Halo sells. Unbelievable!! There are more informative books out there that aren't telling you to buy a specific product the author is selling.
Sales Pitch:
The entire time I was reading this book I felt as though the author was giving me a sales pitch for Halo products. In fact, I started searching my receipts because I didn't know if a vendor had given me this book or if I bought it myself. The information is pretty good, and I will try some of the recipes. I suppose I'm biased against the tone of this book.
Very good book:
I really like this book. What is probably the best part is the recipes. All the good stories are nice too. But she now has an internet company called Halo where she sells all the stuff that she gives you the recipe for in the book. Who else would do that! The recipes are very easy to follow but it is nice to know there is another option when i would get busy. I bought the dream coat which is the EFA oil blend. It would take me longer and the same price to find all those different oils and blend them... more info
