"If you love your dog, you will read this book!"
- Dr. Joseph Mercola
Our beloved canine companions are suffering and dying young in ever increasing numbers. It’s obvious that something is VERY wrong. See Spot Live Longer provides us with substantiated research as to why we are losing our best friends too soon, and more importantly, many simple things you can do to help your dog live longer. Much of the advice in this book can help your cat too!
Based on philosophies regarding the importance of nutrition, authors Beth Taylor and Steve Brown present evidence that good diets are just as important for dogs as they are for humans. In this book, the authors (both are pet health and nutrition experts) provide a convincing thesis for feeding your dog a naturally balanced raw meat, bone and vegetable-based diet that provides much higher quality nutrition than any dry or canned dog or cat food.
Dry pet food manufacturers claim everything our animals need is inside that attractive bag with their beautiful pictures of meats, vegetables and fruits labeled "natural!" This would be great, but it's impossible to make such claims. No matter how good the ingredients are in a bag of dog or cat food, it is still a highly processed, grain-based food, lacking in live, whole nutrients.
See Spot Live Longer breaks through the deception propagated by decades of advertisements by the giant pet food companies, and provides the caring pet owner with all the information and background science needed to feed dogs healthfully.
When dogs were fed a proper raw diet, hundreds of people, including veterinarians, have witnessed vast health improvements including:
* Maintenance of proper weight
* Cleaner and whiter teeth
* More active and less achy
* Fewer or eliminated allergy symptoms
* Reduced or eliminated flea problems
* Happier dispositions … and much more!
The authors of See Spot Live Longer spell out the message loud and clear: manufactured dry dog foods do not provide the nutrients our dogs need and thus cause malnutrition; commercial foods also contain toxins that are over-burdening their bodies and compromising their immune systems so they fall prey to disease.
Throughout See Spot Live Longer, you will learn truth behind much of the so-called conventional wisdom regarding dogs. For instance, if we follow the advice, "Never feed 'people food' or table scraps to your animals," our dogs and cats would never have an opportunity to eat any of those whole foods we know to be critical for fighting cancer and promoting a healthy immune system: vegetables and fruits in their original forms.
By following this advice, we do direct harm to our dogs. Think about it. We would never feed our children only dry food in a bag. Dogs, like us, have the same needs for fresh food. By combining the most recent nutritional science with practical advice on how to help dogs live longer, See Spot Live Longer delivers the information you need to make the necessary changes in your pet’s life!
Contents of the Book
Part One
Introduces the reader to a few of the many dogs and cats the authors have known whose lives have been transformed by fresh food diets.
Part Two
Compares the radical difference between the natural diet of dogs, which includes a variety of high-protein raw foods, and the modern diet, which usually includes only high-carbohydrate, highly processed dry food. Part 2 contains a detailed examination of the macro and micronutrient content of both the natural diet of dogs and a diet of commercial, grain based foods.
Part Three
Discusses the inevitable toxins and allergens in dry foods, especially those that use low quality grains, and how these substances may be major factors in the cancer and allergy epidemic in dogs.
Part Four
Shows the reader how easy it is to immediately help dogs live longer. The main emphasis is on how to improve the dog's diet, even using foods that would normally be thrown away. We also discuss how to avoid toxins, especially those close to the ground toxins that humans often don't see; the importance of proper exercise; and keeping dogs lean.

Veterinary Review
"This comprehensive, thoughtful book is essential reading for all guardians who care about their dog’s health. The authors clearly show why diet is the key to optimal health...Best of all, this book suggests many easy ways to improve on a commercial diet, from simply adding supplements, to (going all out for a totally) home made diet.”
- Jena Hofve, DVM, nationally recognized expert on pet nutrition,
Scientific Editor of the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Association
