Excerpt from Dr. Martin Goldstein, D.V.M.

“When I tell an owner that a change of diet can affect her pet’s health in a matter of days, the first reaction is usually delight, sometimes even exhilaration. Toss out the prepackaged food, I say.

Soon, symptoms you’ve grown all too accustomed to — and tried in in vain to dispel with antibiotics — may improve dramatically. Everything from skin irritations and dull matted fur to bad breath and digestive problems to lethargy and lack of appetite can be alleviated.

All you have to do is start preparing your pet’s meals yourself.”

Dr. Martin Goldstein, D.V.M.

Excerpt from Jill Elliot, D.V.M

“All the junk in commercial food will eventually take its toll on your dog’s body, leading to a decline in health. He’ll also have more offensive body odor and doggy breath when fed a kibble based diet.”

Jill Elliot, D.V.M.

Excerpt from Mary L. Brennan, D.V.M.

“The government standards actually allow by-products to include diseased chicken, beef, or pork; tankage from cooked or condemned carcasses; indigestible parts of carcasses such as ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, and parts of the animal you probably wouldn’t consider as food at all, such as feathers, beaks, and hooves.”

  • Why Dogs Bite:

      Yelling at me for barking.
      I'M A DOG! IT'S WHAT WE DO.

      Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out.
      Exactly whose walk is this anyway?

      Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose.
      Would you eat something that someone had put on your nose?
      Then, making me wait for it; that’s just pure torture.

      Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons.
      Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.

      That stupid fake throw when playing fetch.
      So you fooled a dog! How clever are you?

      Taking me to the vet for "the big snip" then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back!
      And this is surprising because?

      Getting upset when I sniff at your guests.
      Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

      Dog sweaters.
      Hello??? Haven't you noticed the fur?
