Cats and Dogs are People Too!
Sharon Gannon
“I love my cats,” writes Sharon Gannon in this important book that promotes health and wellness for your companion animals. Yet, she says, “years after mad cow disease was linked to the cannabilistic feeding of cows to cows, rendered animals are still routinely used in some pet food and commercial feed. Cows, pigs, chickens, dogs and cats are innocently eating each other.”
Cats and Dogs Are People Too! sheds light on the commercial pet food industry and offers healthy alternatives. It explores how you can keep your animals healthy and eating nutritiously balanced food through diet and supplements without being alarmist or emptying your wallet.
Sharon also explores the complex emotional lives of our cats and dogs and argues that the love they show to us needs to be met with equal responsibility on our part.
