The commercial pet food industry has a secret to hide -- and Ann Martin wants to make sure you know it. Her research reveals some startling facts: that the pet food industry conducts animal testing in order to improve their product, and includes euthanized cats and dogs in the mix to heighten protein content. In this revised and updated edition, Martin continues to explore the shocking processes by which commercial pet foods are produced. She offers alternative recipes for feeding pets, nutritional advice, and an exploration of "Pet Peeves," in which she explores several scams aimed at pet owners. This groundbreaking book gives us a glimpse into exactly what we are doing when we buy pet food.

Wow! Scary, sad, moving reading.
Although this is primarily concerned with the U.S. market it is thought-provoking for NZ as well.
It has proven to be an insight into a field of our lives that we probably don't often consider.
It is well written and paced, doesn't overload with masses of technical jargon but keeps it accessible as well as being grounded in scientific research.
An highly recommended read.
