Raw food makes sense for people—why not dogs?
Your dog—like you—can benefit from a natural diet. And what is a natural diet for dogs? Raw meaty bones! Most commercial pet foods are full of grains, empty carbohydrates and over-processed proteins and fats. As with humans, the diet of your dog is increasingly being recognized as the main culprit in disease including obesity, skin problems, cancer and autoimmune problems. Even a seemingly small problem like “doggie breath” is a red flag for more complex health issues such as gingivitis, heart disease and kidney disease. A natural diet based on raw meaty bones is the answer to prevent and even correct a number of these common canine health problems.
Dr. Tom Lonsdale graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in London and practices in Sydney Australia. He was educated, like veterinarians world-wide, to believe that manufactured dog food is the best way to feed the family dog. He also believed that canine gum disease, bad breath and teeth cleaning under sedation were a normal part of any veterinary practice. Over time he came to realize that commercial pet food was the CAUSE of major health problems in our dogs and for the past 15 years he has been advocating a return to feeding dogs a diet of raw meat on the bone and selected table scraps. Find out just how simple it is to feed your dog what he really NEEDS and WANTS—raw meat and raw bones. Experience a tremendous improvement in your dog’s health, disposition and longevity by feeding her exactly what nature intends; what dogs in the wild eat—raw meat and raw bones.

• Lower the cost of dog ownership by improving health.
• Boost natural immunity to disease.

• Simplify your dog-feeding routine.
• Make your dog Very, Very Happy!

Australian veterinarian Dr. Tom Lonsdale is traveling the world educating the public about how to improve the health of their dogs by feeding them a simple diet of raw meat and bones. He is on a mission to help people understand that the multi-billion dollar pet food industry has a financial interest in continuing to convince you that heavily processed kibble is superior to fresh, unprocessed food. In Raw Meaty Bones, Dr. Lonsdale also raises serious questions about the ecological impact of commercial pet food and the potential conflict of interest between the business of being a veterinarian and the good health of your pet.
