The vast majority of people today believe that commercial pet food provides a safe and healthy diet for their dogs and cats.Veterinarians, who generally receive minimal instruction in nutrition, also recommend feeding only commercial animal food. CJ Puotinen disputes this advice in her latest book, Natural Remedies for Dogs and Cats.She's interviewed dozens of holistic pet care experts and studied all the available research on pet care.Time and time again, the evidence points to commercial pet foods as the source of chronic health problems in animals.
If left to themselves, dogs and cats eat raw prey that they have caught.This gives them a variety of food and nutrients.Even if prepared foods could imitate the variety, which they don't, the processing they undergo destroys the nutrients.Additionally, commercial pet foods contain a host of unhealthy products.
Puotinen describes the best diets for dogs and cats, and then explains how to achieve that.She even includes some recipes.
The second section of the book is devoted to natural remedies for ailing animals.She describes the basic nutrients needed by all animals--our pets need vitamins and minerals, just as we do--and how to best include them in a healthy diet.She then explains how various herbs are used in achieving and maintaining pet health.This section also includes recipes, such as one for a natural flea powder.
Puotinen provides an extensive resource section, including e-mail and web addresses.
She says her purpose "is to define, explain, and demonstrate herbal and nutritional techniques that many pet owners have used with good results," adding that "an informed owner is a pet's best medical insurance." Readers will find that she has provided all the information and resources they need in Natural Remedies for Dogs and Cats to help them help their pets have long and healthy lives.
