Dog Diet

Spoilt your dog rotten? We are what we eat. And the same goes for our dogs...Millions of them are overweight. Their lives have come to mimic our own. And now, over fed, under exercised and stressed, they have begun to take on our shape and disease pattern. Over the past twenty years the rise in obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and skin problems in our dogs has rocketed. It's not all our fault, far from it. We have grown up feeding our dogs processed cans and kibble because we believed the hype: 'stick to one food, don't deviate'. This is fine if it's the good stuff (and that does not necessarily mean the most expensive), but actually much of what's on offer is rubbish, and anyway variety is best: would you want to eat the same thing, day in day out, for the rest of your life? In this book, Kate Bendix and vet Nick Thompson offer enough pet food knowledge to enable you to get your dog's weight down to a healthy level and keep it that way. Follow their advice and you will have a slimmer, happier dog - a gleaming, sleek Greek god of a hound who snoozes when he should, doesn't moult as if fur just went out of fashion, and runs like the wind. Just because he can! The catch? There isn't one. The Dog Diet is easy, it won't cost you a fortune or eat into your precious downtime; and, wait for it...your dog will actually enjoy it. Let's learn from ourselves and help our dogs back to health.
