In addition to their thorough discussion of the above, Richard Pitcairn, D.V.M., and his wife, Susan Hubble Pitcairn, M.S., offer a comprehensive "quick reference" section on animal illnesses, organized alphabetically and including a brief description of each illness, preventative measures that may be taken, and holistic and natural treatment options for both dogs and cats - treatments that should always be discussed with one's vet before being used. Occasional line drawings, informative graphs, and the Pitcairns' intelligent prose make this guide a must-have for pet owners interested in a natural lifestyle for their pets.	Richard H. Pitcairn, Susan Hubble Pitcairn
Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts about Pet Food "As the publisher of Ann N. Martin's book, Food Pets Die For, I am most impressed with the thorough and meticulous investigation the author undertook for seven years. Her findings and facts are verified and footnoted throughout the book, revealing a shocking but truthful inside look at what is legally allowed in pet food. Martin has taken tremendous risks to uncover information that has never been published before. Her book is the first to look at this issue in depth. Hopefully, more voices will follow, and speak out on this issue." - Maureen R. Michelson Publisher, NewSage Press Read hard-hitting Chapter 4 right here at Homevet	Ann M. Martin, Michael W. Fox
