Pensaba que sería un libro que me ayudara a entender una visión más natural de la medicina veterinaria, pero que digas que le tengo que poner 40-60% de arroz a mi perro que es un carnívoro pues...
Creo que se ha quedado algo obsoleto, hay afirmaciones totalmente desmentidas hoy en día

This book is a wonderful solution to the growing problem of how can we feed our companions without killing other animals to do so. Ms. Allegretti's carefully researched and practiced vegan diets are my hope for the future. Also a wonderful guide to caring for our dogs with home remedies and gentle nursing care suggestions that speak to the heart of our relationship with our animals. Reading this book will make you a better person, and your dog happier, too!
