Food Pets Die for : Shocking Facts about Pet Food (3RD)

An investigative reporter updates her 2003 and 1997 editions with a report on the 2007 pet food recall (the biggest in U.S. history) due to melamine contamination. Following an eye-opening/ stomach-churning expoš of the pet food industry, its weak regulation, links to animal experimentation, and what is allowed in even "premium" pet foods, Martin presents lists of recommended natural pet food producers and human foods that are toxic to pets, and recipes for healthy homemade alternatives for cats and dogs.
