Is your veterinarian hazardous to
your dog's health?
"It
ain't what you don't know that gets you into
trouble.
It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."
-- Mark Twain
Do
You Know the Truth
About Dog Care?
How healthy
is your dog?
Many,
even most, dogs on long-term
steroids, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories,
antihistamines or medical foods are merely
surviving by having their immune system
suppressed by drugs. Symptom suppression may bring relief short term,
but eventually the body will fail. Your dog's medical treatment
could be keeping your dog's
body from healing--even making your dog
worse.
Profit
motives, myths and outdated information
determine what your dog eats, even what
vaccinations and drugs she gets.
It doesn't have to be that way. I'll
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, but also 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
sentences....I have rarely been so impressed by any
publication!”--
Dr. Jean Hofve, DVM, Editor-in-Chief,Journal of the American
Holistic Veterinary Medical Association Read the
Journal's book review
“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

Nutrition Recordings
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 often contains
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
wines--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. Dogs 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. Click to see SCARED POOPLESS TABLE OF CONTENTS or 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.
Click to read our
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. In fact, it's so important to us to help dogs that,
at minimum, all author royalties will benefit animal causes.
We sell deeply discounted books,
and offer
affiliate links, to nonprofit
animal groups so they can use Scared Poopless for
fundraising. We also donate books for their silent auctions
and raffles. We're in this for the love of dogs…not for

gift to study the dangers of the
rabies vaccine, to help make it safer.

Two Extras For You
When you orderScared Poopless,I'll send you a complimentary copy of a terrific
recording of a recent telephone seminar with nutrition
expert Dr. Jean Hofve.The
recording--delivered by e-mail link--is almost an hour's
worth of up-to-the minute, practical information on
food and supplements to help your dog build and maintain
health. We'll also send you a free Pet Alert Decal
(sold elsewhere for up to $4.99). This reusable decal alerts
rescue workers that you have pets in your home that need
rescuing in case of fire, flood or other emergency.
Scared Poopless costs less than one round of
shots your dog may not have needed, and far less than one
trip to the vet you could have prevented: just $22.97 for
one copy, $19.95 each for two copies, and $18.95 each for
threeto eight copies shipped to the same address
free. Veterinarians,
retailers and
nonprofit organizations, please
check out our quantity discounts. We'll autograph, paw-tograph
and even inscribe them, if you like.

Scared Poopless, just return it within 30 days in

asked. Keep our free audio recording and the Pet Alert decal
as a “thank you” for trying it.

Don't
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.
