Times change. However, our pets' nutritional needs remain the same as their wild ancestors millennia ago. Cats, dogs and ferrets need raw meaty bones to stay strong, healthy and happy. This timeless truth, however, has been lost to pet owners, with disastrous consequences. In Raw Meaty Bones: Promote Health , 'whistleblower vet' Dr Tom Lonsdale draws upon decades of research to explain how industrial diets devastate pets' health, with tartar-encrusted teeth, sore gums and stinky breath signalling the downward spiral of sickness, suffering and endless trips to the vet. He shows why dogs and cats crave the ripping, tearing and crunching of raw meaty bones - nature's miracle treatment and preventative. As well as providing the right nutrition, the tough, chewy texture has medicinal benefits: keeping their teeth clean, gums healthy and breath sweet. This, in turn, benefits their immune system, heart, liver, lungs and kidneys. First published in 2001, and still as relevant today, Raw Meaty Bones makes no apology, exposing a veterinary profession lost without a moral compass, beholden to multinational 'junk pet food' companies. The pet health revolution starts here, protecting your pets, your wallet, and the natural environment. ☆☆☆☆☆ " Raw Meaty Bones: Promote Health , by Dr. Tom Lonsdale, is an eye-opening exploration into the world of pet nutrition.
