Wish Your Dog Could Live Forever?
“Scared Poopless: The Straight Scoop on Dog Care”
is a Must Read for All Dog Lovers
Rancho Santa Fe, CA, August 15, 2006 – At last, a comprehensive book on cutting-edge canine care that is actually fun to read! Scared Poopless: The Straight Scoop on Dog Care is narrated by Chiclet, an opinionated four-pound Maltese dedicated to improving and extending the lives of dogs everywhere. No cutesy-poo book this one, the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association called Scared Poopless “a wonderful book,” adding she has “rarely been so impressed by any publication.” Recently, it won the prestigious 2006 Ben Franklin Award for the Best Health Book in the country.
Chiclet and co-author Jan Rasmusen began researching dog health and safety after Chiclet’s true love Jiggy (also a Maltese) developed severe immune-mediated liver disease. Jan quickly discovered a dangerous mix of myths, propaganda and outdated information masquerading as canine “care.” Years of tireless investigation and interviews with many of this country’s most respected veterinarians and experts followed. What began as a desperate quest to save Jiggy’s life became a book to help all dogs. To further help dogs, all author royalties benefit animal causes.
Taking a critical but unbiased look at illness and accident prevention, Scared Poopless examines dog care from the basics to far beyond. Did you know that most dogs are getting vaccinations immunologists no longer recommend, and that adult Great Danes and Chihuahua puppies get the exact same vaccine dose? Or that onions, grapes, cocoa shell mulch, and acetaminophen pain relievers can be poisonous to dogs? Or that kibble doesn’t clean teeth? Or that rawhide chews can be dangerous? Or that even the “best” pet foods can be the worst thing for your dog? Scared Poopless reveals these truths and so much more.
Canine author Chiclet tells us, “Our many veterinarian friends – most of them activists like
us – taught us how to use our health care dollars to actually improve health, not just to patch us up until next time. We’re going to tell you what we learned.”
Scared Poopless is for everyone with a dog and for people still looking for that special pup. The shocking truth is that most people think they know how to care for a dog, but most of us have been misinformed about what it takes to keep a dog healthy and safe. Scared Poopless is friendly, quirky and often funny—but deadly serious. It’s that rare find: a book that’s great fun to read that also informs and serves as a complete reference guide for all dog lovers.
Scared Poopless, a beautiful book spiced with anecdotes, trivia and 89 outrageous full-color photos, makes an ideal gift. It’s sold nationwide at www.Dogs4Dogs.com, Amazon.com and selected book and pet stores.
