Yeah I have that book. There's another great one too, I forget the name but it's white with pictures of dogs and cats on it (i'm hoping that's enough for you to recognise it since it's kind of famous or "infamous" for the truths it exposes).

The bottom line is dried food has a grain base and canines and felines don't have the multi-tasking stomachs of cows and horseys to digest it properly. It's not natural. Does that mean they vomit it up? No, but it isn't intended for them to eat "grass" all day since their teeth are all curved and sharp, designed for meat. Over time, animals develop all kinds of problems we now accept as the norm. This is another facet of the alternative vs. conventional medicine argument we hear about for humans; it remains a big secret because the pharmacutical companies would lose trillions (in this case vets and animal product manufacturers).

Digestive, skin and cardiovascular problems are not really normal for an otherwise healthy animal yet these are commonplace in the life on a dog or cat-owner. Hearing and sigh problems too. Never before have I seen or heard of so many dogs with heart trouble and issues than I do these days. Animals now have disorders like epilepsy for gods sake. When have you ever seen a wild animal in it's natural state with so many conditions?
