A must read for every pet owner

I loved Tainted, so when Phyllis produced Toxic, I knew I had to listen. The author’s knowledge of pet food safety is amazing and at times a bit scary. Even some of the healthiest pet food on the market hasn’t escaped contamination. The bacteria found in some of these products is a silent killer, but in this book the author brings awareness of some of the worst cases and what to look for when feeding your own pet. I greatly appreciate the final chapter. You won’t regret picking up this book.

You will never look at pet food the same way again!

Phyllis Entis, scientist, animal lover and mystery writer, has taken time out from writing her excellent novels to give us a stunning and useful book: TOXIC (From Factory to Food Bowl, Pet Food is a Risky Business).

You may be shocked, as I was, to learn how pet food can cause illness, coma, and death in your dog or cat. I'm talking about reputable pet foods, whether cheap or expensive. Almost every brand name has had products recalled.

TOXIC is well-researched and documented. The author specifies names, dates and places where pets have sickened or died, and what actions regulators and manufacturers took in response to pet owners' complaints.

The audiobook version of TOXIC is excellent. The author's reading is clear and well-modulated; performed with the skill of the scientist and the passion of the writer and animal-lover.

However, you'll want to get a hard copy of TOXIC, From Factory to Food Bowl, Pet Food is a Risky Business, so that you can refer to some sections again and again.

The book also includes a bibliography of reference books recommended for pet owners, as well as a section explaining home-made pet food, both raw and cooked. The author shares proven recipes for preparing a healthy, safe diet for your dog.

This review is my own voluntary, personal assessment of the book; I was in no way compensated or rewarded for the review by anyone.
