1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Andi Brown is the author of The Whole Pet Diet, an interesting book on dog and cat nutrition. It's been a bit of a theme for the last few episodes. This is the end of that &quot;mini-series&quot; on nutrition for now, but I felt this story was a great way to round that all out. How She Started Andi's story about her interest in pet nutrition that set her on this course starts with a personal account from the 80's of her own cat who had a host of health issues. Told that it was simply a genetic disease that had no cure, she felt she had no options until she met a friend whose focus was nutrition and natural health. After some exploration and her friend preparing a recipe that contained chicken and vegetables, a four-day transformation of her cat occurred and revolutionized the way they thought about diet as a part of their pets' overall health. Andi talks about the standard for manufactured &quot;pet&quot; food, and some of the horrific discoveries she learned about them. She equates some of what the finalized product becomes (she calls it &quot;vitaminized cardboard&quot;). Part of her approach is something she calls &quot;The 8-week challenge&quot;, and it outlines a direct approach to quality food as the core approach to your pet's better health.
