    About this audiobook

    Whether online or in the local pet store, there are a bewildering variety of pet healthcare products and services to choose from. Diets and supplements, ancient herbs and folk remedies, and even high-tech treatments like hyperbaric oxygen tanks and laser therapy. Everything promises to give your pet better health and a longer life, and isn't that what every pet owner wants?

    But how do you know if all of these products do what they claim? Are they safe? If they really are miraculous cures, why are so many offered only on the internet or by a few veterinarians specializing in "alternative medicine?"

    Brennen McKenzie, a vet with twenty years of experience and the former president of the Evidence-based Veterinary Medicine Association, helps pet owners and veterinary professionals understand the claims and the evidence, allowing them to make better choices for their companions and patients.

      This book is a giant pile of garbage written with an extreme bias, blatant disregard for the science that supports what the author refers to as "dangerous herbal medicine". He believes there is no difference between GMO and non-gmo feed, even though thousands of studies have proven otherwise. I retrain thoroughbreds and as soon as they are taken off gmo grain and put on non-gmo grain they immediately change and calm down - especially the mares.

      The whole book seems to be built on an extreme hatred for alternative medicine (which by the way has thousands of years of support). The author clearly has no first-hand experience with natural therapies and many times says things that are have been debunked.

      If you're considering reading this just understand it is NOT based on sciencebut rather a biased authors ignorant views of science he doesn't like.
