Library Journal

Whole Pet Diet addresses health concerns in dogs and cats from the preventative nutrition angle. Believing that our pets are what they eat, author Brown maps out an entire program that any pet owner can understand and follow. She assesses your pet's condition; provides weekly food and exercise tracking charts and a weekly "checkup" guide; discusses vitamins and supplements; and shares many recipes and helpful tips. She concludes with suggestions for further reading and an index. Both authors are knowledgeable in their respective fields and include the usual precautions and disclaimers about following the advice of your veterinarian to ensure that the health and welfare of your pet is not compromised. Both titles are recommended, especially where interest in pets is high. Edell M. Schaefer, Brookfield P.L., WI Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
