The Little Big Cat Bookstore: What Cats Should Eat   -   $9.95

You love your cat, and you want to keep her healthy for as long as possible. The one thing you can do that will make the most difference in your cat's health is to feed a good diet. But with hundreds of brands and flavors of cat food on the shelves of grocery and pet supply stores, how do you know which one is right for your cat? To help you understand your cat's nutritional needs and how best to satisfy them, here's some essential information from my 16-page special report, "What Cats Should Eat."

Cats are true carnivores, requiring a meat-based diet for optimal health. Their natural diet is, of course, prey such as rodents, insects, and birds. These prey consist primarily of water, protein and fat, with only about 10% carbohydrate (starch, sugar and fiber) content. Cats are exquisitely adapted to utilize fat and protein for energy, as opposed to omnivores like dogs and people, who mainly use carbohydrates for energy.

When feeding our companion cats, the most logical strategy is to feed the diet that most closely mimics the natural prey diet. The best way to do this is with a homemade diet; however, not everyone is ready for this step. Feeding more (or only) canned food is another alternative. Canned foods are higher in fat and protein, and lower in carbs, than dry foods. Their high water content increases the cat's overall fluid intake, which keeps the kidneys and bladder healthy, and is more filling.

Recent research has shown that high-carbohydrate diets, such as dry and semi-moist foods, are to blame in most cases of feline diabetes. It is likely that many overweight cats are carbohydrate-intolerant, and should be fed low-carb diets (think "Atkins diet" for cats!). More information on the link between diet and diabetes is contained in the full report, "What Cats Should Eat."

Nutrition-Related Diseases

In fact, not only diabetes but many serious health problems in cats have a dietary component. Some are actually caused by diet, and all are affected by it. Diet-related diseases include:

• Obesity
• Chronic Vomiting
• Hepatic Lipidosis
• Pancreatitis
• Arthritis
• Heart Disease
• Asthma
• Allergies
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease
• Chronic Renal Failure
• Lower Urinary Tract Disease
• Hyperthyroidism
• Viral Conjunctivitis
• Skin and Coat Problems

Food allergies and inflammatory bowel disease are becoming epidemic among our feline companions. That is why I recommend feeding our cats a variety of foods, instead of just a single diet all the time. Variety keeps cats from becoming finicky and food-addicted, lessens the chance of dietary excess or deficiency of any single nutrient, and may even prevent the development of food intolerances, allergies, and inflammatory bowel disease.

In addition, the full 25-page special report will tell you:

• How to understand a cat food label. Find out which ingredients to look for, which ones to avoid, and how certain unappetizing animal 'parts' can be disguised in cat food.
• The facts about dry, canned, semi-moist, homemade, and raw foods. There are advantages and disadvantages to every diet; some are safe and some are not! Find out which of these is best for your cat!
• How to get even the most finicky cat to switch to a better food. There are plenty of sneaky ways to get your cat to try--and like--something new!
  
• The complete list of "Dr. Jean's Approved Brands". You don't have to spend hours reading labels; I've done it for you! Get the benefits of my research and find out, once and for all, which brands pass my strict standards, and where to buy them!
• How to know if your cat food is safe.  The recent recall of dozens of brands of canned cat and dog food, and the death of pets eating them, has shocked us all.  However, none of the recalled foods were on Dr. Jean's Approved list, and what you learn in this report will help you know why--and keep you away from similar foods in the future!
  

Commercial cat foods are certainly convenient. However, in spite of their claiming to be "complete and balanced," many cat foods are really not very good for cats! Commercial cat foods are designed to look good to you and taste good to your cat. Pet food manufacturers use many unappetizing body parts from slaughtered livestock, and cover them with all sorts of flavorings and additives to get cats to eat something that they otherwise would never touch.

As the author of this special report, I have spent hundreds of hours in medical libraries and online, independently researching every aspect of pet food and cats' unique nutritional needs. My background includes writing articles for Animal Wellness, Cats, The Whole Cat Journal, DogWorld, The Whole Dog Journal, and many other publications. I am the current president of the Rocky Mountain Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, and former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association. I have been interviewed on radio and television from California to Colorado to England on pet nutrition, supplements, and the commercial pet food industry. I've even taught seminars on pet food to the veterinary students at Colorado State University and the University of California at Davis.

Some of the information in this special report has been published and copied in many places, but never before has all this information been gathered together in one place. And the complete list of Dr. Jean's Approved Brands included in this report has never been published anywhere else!
