Do
You Know the Truth
About Dog Care?
Hint: The problems with food are just the tip of
the iceberg!
Profit
motives, myths and outdated information
determine what your dog eats, even what
vaccinations and medicines she gets.Your dog needs an advocate: YOU! I'm here
to help you make informed choices without having
to make dog care your full-time job.
Hi. I'm
Jan Rasmusen.
That's me below, with my dog Jiggy (left) and Chiclet (right). Five years
ago I gave my two “furry kids” the very best care possible--or so I
thought. They ate a top brand of “natural” pet food, were
“up-to-date” on their shots and always protected with monthly heartworm and
flea meds. Not for one moment did I suspect that my good intentions were
actually shortening
my dogs' lives! But they were.
I awoke to the
truth when Jiggy contracted a life-threatening
disease. Two years of research into his illness,
and the shocking realization of all the harm my
care had been doing,
made me so angry I decided to share my findings
in a book. I wanted that book to be unbiased,
independent of special interests, and so much
fun that people might actually read it. I called
it Scared Poopless: The Straight Scoop on
Dog Care -- not your average title
and not your average dog care book. It's narrated by my
little Chiclet, an opinionated four-pound Maltese with a
wicked sense of humor and a strong desire to set
humans straight.
Whether you have
a healthy new pup, an ailing old canine friend
or something in-between, this
book will
open your eyes to
the truth
about dog care
and improve your dog's chances of staying (or
getting) healthy and safe.
If it doesn't,
return it for a full refund.

"This
is a wonderful book! I was utterly hooked within a few

Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
Read the review of Scared Poopless
“Imagine
a book on canine health care that’s also fun to read.
…[It's] packed with ev erything you need to know about giving your
dog a happy and healthy
life. A word of caution – Scared Poopless is written
in such an attractive, conversational style, you may find it
hard to put down!”Animal Wellness Magazine
Read the entire review of this acclaimed dog care book
Scared Poopless has
two thorough chapters on how to feed your dog, but people
wanting to prevent or cure disease often want to learn even more. To fill this need, I teamed with Dr. Jean
Hofve, one of the top pet food and pet nutrition experts in
the country.
We produced three recordings:
#1: Truth, Lies & Pet Food
#2: Diet, Disease and Longevity
#3: From Mere Survival to Glowing Health
Listen to some excerpts:
Is "people food" bad for dogs?
Is kibble good for teeth?
What supplements should we give?
How does homemade food help?
Sadly,
most of us have been
misled about how to care for our dogs--mostly by people and
companies trying to relieve us of money.
As a result, our dogs get too many drugs and mostly eat
junk food. They have toxic lifestyles that make them sick,
pile up vet bills and end
their lives prematurely.
We
expect our animals to thrive on fast food. Most pet
food is overcooked and over-processed, not unlike our
own "fast food" -- except that pet food can contain
ingredients condemned for human consumption--like meat
from dead, dying, diseased or disabled animals or
pesticide-contaminated plant matter. The current
melamine contamination is a symptom of the problem...but
not the problem itself.
Let Chiclet tell
you
the truth about dog food.
We
vaccinate for the wrong things and we re-vaccinate too
often. Top immunologists and every North American vet school
changed their vaccination recommendations years ago ...
yet outdated
vaccination practices persist at most vet clinics.
Tragically, over-vaccination--vaccinating too often and
with the wrong vaccines--can cause
major disease, autoimmune dysfunction, allergies,
seizures and even death. Click to learn the dangers
of therabies vaccine.
We
give antibiotics too often and replenish good
bacteria too infrequently.
We
fail to give important supplements every dog needs
to build and maintain health because they don't come in
pet food or multi-vitamin mixes.
We CAUSE food allergies with our feeding practices.
We
give medications that may be toxic--even deadly. We need
to learn how to easily check them out BEFORE there's a
problem.
Countless dogs are injured or killed by easily
preventable accidents.
Our
dogs' ugly tear stains, bad breath and brown teeth are
seen as cosmetic problems, not the health problems
they are.
Our
chubby dogs may be cute, but overweight dogs face
grave health risks including early death, diabetes,
increased joint and tendon damage, and much more.
We
give year round meds for heartworms even though these
worms require sustained warm weather to develop.
We
fail to understand that diarrhea coming from changing
foods can be a sign that we need to change foods.
I didn't
realize how much harm I was doing until Jiggy's illness
forced me to reevaluate my actions and begin my research. I
was doing the best I knew how to do, but it wasn't good
enough.
Do you know what you need
to know to avoid illness, premature death and huge vet
bills? Do you know the answers to these questions?
1. What is the safest way to clean your dog's teeth?
2. How can you make anesthesia safer?
3. What blood tests do your dog need, and when does your dog
need them?
These questions come up all the time. The answers can change
lives.
Fun with
Chiclet T. Dog
Hi! I'm
Chiclet, canine narrator of Scared Poopless. I've
been campaigning against processed dog food,
over-vaccination and dangerous pet meds for years --
trying to get you humans to listen. Not long
ago, I took my case to the video giant, YouTube. Mine is the
story of how a tiny dog overcame her scandalous past as a
party dog to become an award-winning author, teacher and
philanthropist.
Warning:
this video may be too thrilling for some of you! Also, this video will tell you to go to
another website. Don't do it. You'll just end up back here.

can be tricky.

Do You Really Need Another Dog Book?
Is Scared Poopless That Different?
You betcha!
It
Covers Subjects You Won't Find Elsewhere: Need a
crash course in anesthesia safety or post-surgical rehab?
Does your dog really need that blood test, or that surgery? Want to protect
your dog if something happens to you? Our
book has 20 chapters in 272 pages.

INDEX.
It's
Unbiased: Most books are written from one expert's point of view.
Unfortunately, expert opinions differ. Some have
undisclosed financial motives … some stopped
learning years ago ... some have always been just plain wrong.
My opinions came from years of research and
interviews with the top vets in the country--vets on the
forefront of change. Where experts differ, I tell you. I
had only one motive: improving the health of my own dogs. Click to see all the
veterinarians we interviewed.
It's
Fun to Read: No matter how good the information, it's useless if you don't read it and remember it.

book's introduction.
It's
Gift Quality: The photos on this website are just a few of the 89
full-color dog photos in the book; and we saved the best for
inside the book. The pages are heavy, glossy stock.
It won the Ben Franklin Award for design as well as
content.
It's User
Friendly:Each chapter of Scared Poopless is a standalone
mini-book. Read the entire book in a few sittings, peruse a
chapter at bedtime or use it as a reference guide for when
specific problems pop up.
The
review in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical
AssociationJournal said, “The
90 incredible photos alone are worth the price of admission,
but this is much, much more than a cute picture book.”

that happen. Now I know what to do. Do you?

propaganda poised to harm your dog and help you be an
informed advocate. We're devoting our lives to doing just
that. In fact, it's so important to us to help dogs that,
at minimum, all author royalties will benefit animal causes.

Bet Your Dog's Life On Advice From People Profiting From
Your Choices
My beloved dog Jiggy is now six
years beyond his diagnosis with immune-mediated hepatitis. I
still have to keep a close eye on his health, but today he's
90% well. He's rambunctious and happy, and has been off "prescription food," steroids and other pharmaceuticals for
more than three years. My "co-author" Chiclet is healthier
and happier (and more beautiful) than she's ever been
before.
At the end of the day, I know I've done everything that
can be done to help both my dogs live the longest,
healthiest life possible. I hope you'll let me help you and
your dog do the same.
P.S. If you're thinking of buying
Scared Poopless,
please, don't put it off.
I
particularly urge you to read Scared
Poopless before your dog's next trip to
the
vet--especially before you go in for
shots. The money you could save
avoiding shots your dog may not need will probably pay for the book…and
then some! Your
satisfaction
is
guaranteed, so you have nothing to lose.
