A bit of a slow read this time (read this during lunch breaks).

I watched the documentary-film Pet Fooled and I think from there got led to this book. This was an entertaining read and very informative. I would have liked to be able to try such raw food diet on my dogs, but sadly pre-prepared are not available here and actual raw food available here are better served cooked (due to the source).

In any case, there were quite some takeaways for me that I can consider adopting.
