Well written and fairly concise, this book is a real eye-opener regarding how pet food is processed and how the pet food industry is regulated in North America. I'm often a bit of a sceptic, but Martin does a fantastic job of citing her sources and providing very detailed information to back up her book. I suggest anyone even remotely interested in what they are feeding their pets read this book.
