The Whole Pet Diet: Eight Weeks to Great Health for Dogs and Cats

Despite their promise of a complete and balanced meal, most commercial pet foods are chock-full of dangerous by-products, indigestible fillers, and chemical preservatives. It’s no wonder that owners spends thousands of dollars every year treating their pets’ digestive disorders, tumors, joint and back problems, skin irritations, allergies, and heart, liver, and kidney disease. In THE WHOLE PET DIET, Andi Brown combines simple home cooking with natural supplements, dedicated playtime, exercise, and good old-fashioned pampering to help regulate pets’ weight and tap into their natural healing powers.

5The Whole Pet Diet Makes A Whole Lot of Sense  May 24, 2010
The Whole Pet Diet: Eight Weeks to Great Health for Dogs and Cats

I don't know Andi Brown's medical training but from an animal care perspective, her rationale makes sense.

She suggests that your pet's health is directly related to their diet; it either kills or cures them.

Beyond diet, she puts forth a whole step by step 8 week care plan that includes supplements of vitamins and herbs and EFAs as well as exercise, quality play time and even massage. She includes a form for you to record detailed indicators of your pet's health at the start and several times during the 8 week treatment plan.

Ms Brown's writing style is easy to digest without being too simplistic. She doesn't point fingers just makes the case for removing toxins and BHT, meat bi-products and grains from your cats' and dogs' diets and instead offering real meats and PH-balanced supplements, homemade or otherwise. She also suggests stopping dangerous flea and tick removal treatments and trying natural options such as garlic in one form or another. The book must be read and followed carefully as many suggestions come with specific instructions.

Whether her included miracle stories are benchmarks for your own pet's improvements or just anecdotal,
the thinking behind her plan seems to be based on the holistic animal care traditions of Dr. Pitcairn and others.

Andi Brown owns Halo Pet Foods with Ellen Degeneres.

2Written by director of Halo-claims to cure cancer and blindness with Halo pet food  Jan 10, 2010
This book does have some relevant information. However, it is written by the director of Halo pet food and basically sells their products throughout the pages. Also, on page 18 the author claims to have cured a dog's cancer and blindness with a specific pet food Halo sells. Unbelievable!! There are more informative books out there that aren't telling you to buy a specific product the author is selling.

3Sales Pitch  Dec 31, 2009
The entire time I was reading this book I felt as though the author was giving me a sales pitch for Halo products. In fact, I started searching my receipts because I didn't know if a vendor had given me this book or if I bought it myself.

The information is pretty good, and I will try some of the recipes. I suppose I'm biased against the tone of this book.

4Very good book  Sep 13, 2009
I really like this book. What is probably the best part is the recipes. All the good stories are nice too. But she now has an internet company called Halo where she sells all the stuff that she gives you the recipe for in the book. Who else would do that! The recipes are very easy to follow but it is nice to know there is another option when i would get busy. I bought the dream coat which is the EFA oil blend. It would take me longer and the same price to find all those different oils and blend them together. Check out this book if your cats (or dogs) are having health issues like my oldest is... or if you just want to improve the health and well-being of companion animal. Like she says in the book you always think you are giving your animals the best... but look at the label!
May you and your pet be filled with happiness.

5Spot's Stew  Jun 20, 2009
I highly recommend this book to dog owners. If you try nothing else in the book make the Spot's Stew. My Shihsu had a lot of problems with diahhrrea and vomiting eventhough I fed him vet recommended dog food. The recipe for the stew was in a magazine I get so I tried it. It worked like a charm. No stomach upsets or bowel problems. It also solved his problem with the anal gland evacuation. I was so successful with the stew that I ordered the book and intend to try the mineral mix in addition to several other homemade recipes. While it takes a little time to prepare your own food, in the long run it saves on vet bills.
