A vegan diet for dogs?! But aren't dogs carnivores? Can dogs really get all the nutrients they need, even protein, without eating meat? Would switching my dog to a plant-based diet be too expensive to sustain? In her newest book, The Plant-Powered Dog, Canine Nutritionist Diana Laverdure-Dunetz, MS, along with W. Jean Dodds, DVM reference the most up-to-date scientific research to explain the detailed nutritional needs of our canine companions and explore the many benefits of switching to a plant-based diet, including increasing longevity and preventing chronic disease. It's no coincidence that staggering numbers of modern companion dogs suffer from one or more chronic inflammatory diseases. Our canine companions have fallen victim to the same lifestyle-related conditions that are skyrocketing among people living in developed societies. As a culture, we and our companion animals are overfed and undernourished, and we are all traveling down the same dangerous inflammatory path. Fortunately, we have control over dietary choices that affect health! The more research that is done in the field of epigenetics, the more we learn that a plant-based diet is superior for promoting optimum gene expression, disease prevention and longevity. The best part is that you don't have to choose between your dog's health and compassion for all animals and our planet. This book will give you a solid foundation for understanding how epigenetic factors such as the foods you put in your dog's bowl (and on your own plate) regulate gene expression to help promote either optimum health or chronic disease. The Plant-Powered Dog is in-depth guide that provides: - Action Steps to Ensure Success - Individual Chapters Offering Plant-Based Solutions for Chronic Diseases (including Cancer and Diabetes) - Nutrient Comparison Charts - Blank Recipe Creation Charts - Sample Recipes (with photos) - Extensive Resources and Cited Works There is just no denying it: Plant-based nutrition is not a fad, for ourselves or our canine companions. It is the healthy, sustainable diet of the future.
