Fresh Food & Ancient Wisdom

Discover How to Feed Your Dog, Create Great Health, & Spend Less in Vet Bills!

Does This Story Sound Familiar to You?

Once upon a time, a happy dog named Miki was adopted off of Craigslist(™) and found herself in a young, busy family. This family adored her, and went to the finest pet store in the area to buy her a premium brand of dog food. Being that her owners were smart and savvy shoppers, they read the labels of all the foods and settled on a brand that claimed to have natural ingredients, vitamins, and real meats.

However as the months passed, Miki developed rashes on her legs, smelly ears, and could not stop licking her paws or chewing on her itchy spots. Like many dogs, Miki had developed food allergies. Her owners had no choice but to put the plastic “cone of shame” on her head so she wouldn’t lick her rashes into open wounds!

Poor Miki was a miserable, itchy dog. Her owners went to their local veterinarian who prescribed steroids and antibiotics, which cleared the rashes for a little while, until the cycle began again. In frustration, Miki’s owners tried a number of other commercial diets for allergies with no luck.

If you can relate to this story, rest assured, you’re not alone. Many of the modern day health problems in dogs stem from improper nutrition in most commercial diets.

Commercial pet foods have long contained questionable ingredients (including toxic chemicals) because there are limited regulations and inspections in place to test these products. Yet, many veterinarians and most dog owners continue to be in the dark about these harmful additives and feed their beloved dogs these troublesome foods. Poor nutrition leads to more health complications, leading many dogs to spend the majority of their lives in some state of disease or pain.

What if There Was a Better Way?

Indeed there is! Dr. Basko’s dog nutrition book Fresh Food and Ancient Wisdom is a simple guide to improving your dog’s health and happiness through balanced home-cooked diets filled with natural, organic, and fresh ingredients. With an emphasis on principles of Eastern food therapy, Dr. Basko will show you how to heal disease and maintain optimal health through the power of fresh food and balanced nutrition. This book will help you understand how to help your dog in times of illness and stress, and how to strengthen your dog’s immune system throughout his life. Bonus: If you can’t cook, this book will guide you to make delicious meals that you can eat too!

A Wonderful Transformation

Remember that young couple with Miki? Well, with the help of Dr. Basko’s book, they discovered a new way to feed Miki – using fresh ingredients (real vegetables and meats!) and leftovers from the fridge. After just a few months on this new diet of non-processed, home-cooked food, Miki became a normal dog again! Her rashes began to clear up, her ears no longer smelled, and she had renewed energy and vigor for life. As an added bonus, Miki LOVES food, and she now explodes with genuine joy at every meal. Miki is a part of the family, and now she shares her meals with them too.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Technical Details for the Digital Version of this Book

Upon receipt of payment, you will immediately receive access to download the book file to your computer. We recommend using the internet browsers Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox to complete the payment process and retrieve your download. You should also have a consistent internet connection – the book file is quite large and may take some time to download, dependent upon your connection speed.

Note: This book is not formatted for the Kindle or other black and white electronic readers.

Why? Due to screen size constraints and current limitations of the technology, it is our opinion that Kindle devices and B&N readers are not appropriate for reference books, cook books, or any kind of dense text requiring a lot of back-and-forth page referencing. The Kindle and other devices are excellent for fictional novels, autobiographies, or other kinds of books that are meant to be read from cover to cover. However, if you’ve ever tried to read a dense cookbook (say Julia Child’s 752-page masterpiece, Mastering the Art of French Cooking) on the Kindle, you’ll acknowledge that the reading experience is at best a tedious endeavor, and at worst a frustrating experience that severely hinders enjoyment of the book. You can however, view this book on your iPad!

For best viewing results, we recommend that you view this digital book on a screen size of 9.7 inches or larger.

TESTIMONIALS

What a gift for dogs is this book! It tops my list for learning the basics of canine nutrition, providing a host of recipes for home-prepared meals and supplements for dogs of all ages and sizes, and in sickness and in health. Coupling years of clinical experience with plant medicine, macrobiotic philosophy and Eastern medicine, Dr. Basko’s book is an inspiration and wake-up call for veterinarians and all who care for dogs.

Dr. Michael W. Fox BVetMed, PhD, DSc, MRCVS

Dr. Basko’s new book is one of the best books I have ever read on food therapy for dogs. I highly recommend it.

A very high quality printing, it can withstand life in the kitchen.

Dr. Cindy Lankenau, DVM

The book is a text book for the serious veterinarian or dog owner who can use the recipes or the templates for making your own combinations of ingredients. It is absolutely wonderful. It mixes ease with reassurance, with many recipes available for all stages of a dog’s life and health. A very good buy – I’m now more confident consulting on diets, and the client will surely save much more than the price in vet bills.

Dr. Janell Osborn, DVM

I wanted to tell you that I think it is incredible. I was actually moved to tears, and I must say I’m not sure why other than I think I finally saw in print – in one source – all that I try to convey for my patients and more. You have a great way with words, and the breadth of your experience and care is evident in the book. Good energy! Also, before I was able to go through it thoroughly, I sold it in the clinic to the first client I saw!

So I’ll soon be ordering another for myself…
