Abstract:
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.
