Reviews

[Becky · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty good. Nothing I didn't really already know, but still had some informative parts. Didn't really like the dependence on prescription diets to treat various ailments. There are times when they are needed, but there are also alternatives to the diets put out by Hill's, purina, Waltham and the like. Other than that pretty good.
