See Spot Live Longer

by Steve Brown and Beth Taylor

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Steve Brown, creator of Charlee Bear Treats for dogs and Steve’s Real Food, describes how a fresh food diet can benefit dogs.

Although this book has many footnotes, it does not come off as a scientific book. The first third of the book consists of anecdotes from holistic vets about how some diseased dog came in and got better once it was put on a fresh food diet. The rest of the book talks about why fresh food is better than kibble, with no mention of canned food, but remains surprisingly vague about the specifics of what balance of food would work well for dogs. Granted, there aren’t many studies on this, but I was expecting something a little more comprehensive, like along the lines of Dr. Pitcairn’s Guide to Natural Health.

This book made me more determined to eventually move my dogs over to a fresh diet, but it didn’t really instruct me on how to do it.
