Amazon Hot New Pet Book Release -- Chow Hounds: Why Our Dogs Are Getting Fatter - A Vet's Plan to Save Their Lives

Think your pooch looks a little round? Over half of our pets are too heavy. Most of us are apparently overfeeding our dogs by 25 percent every day. A new book Chow Hounds: Why Our Dogs Are Getting Fatter - A Vet's Plan to Save Their Lives by Dr. Ernest Ward, DVM, founder of the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, is filled with fascinating information and of course, weight-loss techniques and healthy tips. He tells us that many pet foods (like human ones) are chock full of addictive sugar and fat and are too high in carbs.

The slender author, affectionately known as "Dr. Ernie," is a practicing veterinarian who appears regularly on the Rachael Ray Show, and has been featured on Animal Planet, NBC Nightly News, the Today Show and CNN. He has authored and contributed to over fifty-five veterinary journal articles in North America, England, Canada, Japan, and China, and has published three books and three veterinary training videos. Sounds like an expert!
