Dog Diet

We are what we eat. And the same goes for our dogs...Over the past 20 years, our dogs' lives have come to mimic our own. They are overfed, under-exercised and stressed, and because of this they are increasingly taking on our shape and disease pattern. More than half the dogs in this country are now either overweight or clinically obese.In this book, Kate Bendix presents a brilliantly compelling case for better dog nutrition. Based on the latest science, it includes enough pet food knowledge to enable you not only to get your dog's weight down but to transform her health in general. It will sort out many of the common, niggling health issues (itchy skin, dog breath, dodgy joints) and even prolong her life.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.

A Little Gem
A practical and funny handbook for busy owners with porky pooches, which shows how easily a varied and unprocessed diet can make dogs slim and vibrant.

Kate Bendix worked for many years in television documentaries, before setting up her website, My Itchy Dog. She is an experienced broadcaster and features regularly on radio shows discussing dog health.

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 health 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.
