The special relationship that exists between dogs and their owners goes far beyond the sharing of a home together. Our happy-go-lucky, tail-wagging friends also provide us with constant unconditional love, devotion, friendship and something else that might not be at the forefront of most people's minds--health benefits. It’s easy to understand why dogs are considered man’s best friend. To fully appreciate the role dogs play in America’s culture, let’s consider the following information: of the approximate 68 million dogs owned in the United States, it is estimated that four in 10 (or 40 million) households own at least one dog. If you are one of these households, you need to also consider these facts: Cancer is the number one disease killer of dogs One in three dogs will die from cancer 50 percent of dogs over the age of 10 will succumb to cancer Our beloved canine companions are suffering and dying young in ever increasing numbers. It’s obvious that something is very wrong. See Spot Live Longer provides us with substantiated research as to why we are losing our best friends too soon, and more importantly, many simple things you can do to help your dog live longer. Much of the advice in this book can help your cat too! Based on philosophies that mirror my own regarding the importance of nutrition, authors Beth Taylor and Steve Brown present evidence that good diets are just as important for dogs as they are for humans. In this book, the authors (both are pet health and nutrition experts) provide a convincing thesis for feeding your dog a naturally balanced raw meat, bone and vegetable-based diet that provides much higher quality nutrition than any dry or canned dog or cat food. Dry pet food manufacturers claim everything our animals need is inside that attractive bag with their beautiful pictures of meats, vegetables and fruits labeled "natural!" This would be great, but it's impossible to make such claims. No matter how good the ingredients are in a bag of dog or cat food, it is still a highly processed, grain-based food, lacking in live, whole nutrients. See Spot Live Longer breaks through the deception propagated by decades of advertisements by the giant pet food companies, and provides the caring pet owner with all the information and background science needed to feed dogs healthfully. When dogs were fed a proper raw diet appropriate for their body, hundreds of people, including veterinarians, have witnessed vast health improvements including: Maintenance of proper weight Cleaner teeth More active and less achy Fewer allergy symptoms Reduced flea problems Happier dispositions … and much more! The authors spell out the message loud and clear: manufactured dry dog foods do not provide the nutrients our dogs need and thus cause malnutrition; commercial foods also contain toxins that are over-burdening their bodies and compromising their immune systems so they fall prey to disease. Throughout this book, you will learn truth behind much of the so-called conventional wisdom regarding dogs. For instance, if we follow the advice, "Never feed 'people food' or table scraps to your animals," our dogs and cats would never have an opportunity to eat any of those whole foods we know to be critical for fighting cancer and promoting a healthy immune system: vegetables and fruits in their original forms. By following this advice, we do direct harm to our dogs. Think about it. We would never feed our children only dry food in a bag. Dogs, like us, have the same needs for fresh food. As an example, for almost no cost and little effort, you can improve the odds that your dog will live a long life with food you might throw away. Combining the most recent nutritional science with practical advice on how to help dogs live longer, See Spot Live Longer is delivered in four very informative and easy-to-follow sections: Part One: Food Makes a Difference Part Two: An Examination and Comparison of the Ancestral and Modern Diets of Dogs Part Three: Carcinogens and Allergens in Pet Foods Part Four: Improving the Odds is Easy Part One is loaded with testimonials of the many dogs and cats the authors have known whose lives have been transformed by fresh-food diets. This section alone is so inspiring that it will compel you to read the rest of the book. Part Two takes a close look at the ancestral diet of dogs. For over 99.997 percent of the history of dogs, they ate a variety of raw foods teeming with germs. This section examines how dogs can thrive on bacteria-laden food that can potentially kill humans. In Part Three, Taylor and Brown further discuss the inevitable toxins and allergens in dry dog foods. They describe how most commercial manufacturers select the ingredients to prepare dry food and how the usual extrusion process destroys the vital quality of nutrients. Part Four shows the reader how easy it is to immediately help dogs live longer. The main emphasis is on how to improve the dog's diet. Brown and Taylor recognize the need for convenience and containing the costs of dog food, while offering us some sound solutions to feeding better. Even the appendices of this book are filled with useful information. Here you’ll find detailed information about dry dog food recipes and costs, advice on how to select dry food, answers to the question of missing hybrid vigor, and possible origins of serious growing health problems like canine hip dysplaysia.
