Expanded Description:

In this new and updated 3rd edition of Food Pets Die For, first published in 1997, Martin once again goes behind the scenes of the commercial pet food industry. She uncovers the unsavory ingredients that can legally be used by commercial pet food companies, including euthanized cats and dogs, diseased and contaminated meat, moldy grains, and rancid fat. She also documents the ongoing animal experimentation funded by many major pet food companies in the name of nutritious pet food.

Ann Martin arms consumers with crucial information on how to read labels on pet food, and discern for themselves whether or not they want to feed their pets commercial food. Martin offers healthy alternatives for feeding animal companions with nutritious and easy-to-prepare recipes. For people who don’t have the time to cook, Martin provides information on several pet food companies that produce healthy, human-grade pet food. Martin builds a strong case for why our pets will live longer, healthier lives without commercial pet food.

Do YOU know what's in your pet's food?, June 19, 2003
Reviewer: Terri Mallett
Gross, shocking, and unbelievable expose on what is allowed to be used for food for our pets. Sawdust, shredded paper, roadkill and much worse, are considered acceptable sources of fiber & protein by the pet food industry. Companies spend millions on pretty pictures and advertising to convince us that they actually care about our animals welfare...this book discloses what a huge lie it is we've fallen for. You'll never buy a bag of dog or cat food again, without first reading the label!
