Pet Food Nation: The Smart, Easy, and Healthy Way to Feed Your Pet Now

Author: Joan Weiskopf

In response to the horrific national pet food recall, and the subsequent death of beloved dogs and cats all over the country due to tainted commercial food, this book will offer expert advice and easy-to-follow instructions on the best way to keep your pet's diet nutritionally sound without relying on mass-produced food.

Joan Weiskopf, a noted expert on pet care and a professional dog breeder, trainer and handler, will teach pet owners the most nutritional way to feed their pets for a long, happy, and healthy life, "without feeding them from out of a bag or a can." Backed by a solid education in the animal sciences, which includes two years at the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, Joan will base this highly prescriptive and easy-to-read book on a solid list of Q&A's from concerned pet owners everywhere. She will address the hazards of feeding your pet commercial foods and offer time-tested, home-kitchen perfected recipes and instructions about how to properly feed your animals based on their breed, ancestry, activity level, age, and state of health. This will be a book of pet wisdom from a nationally-known pet expert who has no professional or financial connections with any commercial or pharmaceutical pet care companies.

Most importantly, the author will explain why commercial pet food can be dangerous to your pet's overall health even when it hasn't been tainted. As Joan says, "Up until twenty years ago, none of our pets were fed out of a bag or a can. They ate healthy table scraps in moderation from our own formerly healthy diets, and they lived to be strong, happy and healthy without the help of mass-market, factory-produced food. Eating from the table is more nutritionally sound for a well-balanced family pet diet."
