IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT DOG FOOD
People across the globe are striving to improve their health – through exercise and proper nutrition. Every day we make informed decisions about the foods we eat.
Companies have recognized this trend and have begun marketing low-fat, low-calorie, or low-carb versions of our favorite foods. But with all of this attention to our own health, we may be forgetting the nutrition of our loyal companion pets.
Sure, pet food companies have created special formulas for overweight, older, or active dogs; but even these blends do not meet the necessary requirements for your pet’s health. In fact, studies have shown that your dog’s food may cause illnesses such as skin allergies, stomach problems, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Pet Product Review - Greenies® Dental Chews
If you look-up the definition of connoisseur in the dictionary, you will not see this:
con⋅nois⋅seur:
A dog of informed and discriminating taste
a.k.a Joey (see photo left)
Joey is our lovable, 10 year old Lab, who does not have a discriminating bone in his body much less his palate. He savors the flavors of anything he can get his furry little paws on. That's why I'm always happy to discover treats that are actually good for him and don't just pack-on the pounds!
Joey delights in the taste and texture of the Greenies® Dental Chews for big dogs while he unknowingly reaps the many benefits that come from chewing them: Help in controlling plaque and tartar, fresher breath, a healthier immune system, and a dose of daily fiber. The fresher breath is literally an in-my-face benefit that aids in prolonging our "cuddle time" every night.
You can find Greenies® products at most pet supply stores or use their store locator to find a retailer in your area. You can also purchase the Greenies® Value Paks for $9.68 on the PetEdge website.

Greg cracks open the first box of Dog Dish Diet books.
Yes, I have books. Boxes and boxes of Dog Dish Diet: Sensible Nutrition for Your Dog’s Health in my “warehouse.” You’ll see why I put that in quotes when you look at the photos.
There’s nothing quite like holding your own book in your hands. And this one has been a long time coming…even elephant gestation has nothing on this process.
29 years as a veterinarian observing and treating a range of common ailments and chronic illnesses among my small animal patients…and wondering if there was something other than meds that could help since so many of the conditions return over and over again. Many meds just control symptoms and mask the underlying condition.
10 years developing my theories on the link between good nutrition and pet health.
Can someone say "warehouse"? The car stays outside.
Believe me, nutrition is key to good health–for pets as well as for ourselves.
3 years writing the book. Hey I’m a vet, not a writer, but I felt I had something to say to pet owners and my veterinarian colleagues alike. My goal with Dog Dish Diet is to explain my approach in such a way that anyone can easily take steps to feed his or her dog better, provide a little of the science behind my advice and share some of my experiences as a vet and a lifelong animal lover.
1 year spent having the book professionally edited, designed, illustrated, photographed, and printed. And then there was the proofing. I read, reread and proofed the book after each phase of editing, design and layout and discussed all changes/refinements/tweaks with my editor. I even enlisted my wife Lonna,
After almost 30 years in the making, I couldn't even wait to get the boxes inside.
Certified Nutrition Consultant Robin Nielsen (owner of Juvenescence in Morgan Hill), and “Dogtor J” veterinarian John B. Symes in Mobile, Alabama as readers.
And now I begin the promotion in ernest. I’ve been on Facebook for some time, I started blogging here on DogDishDiet.com back in May and my list of Twitter followers is growing steadily. I’ve even begun guest blogging. I’m among the featured bloggers on Yeepet and my Dog Dish Diet blogs are aggregated on the DogTime Blog Network. I’m beginning to get out and speak, and as that schedule develops I’ll keep you posted of events and times. It’s always fun to see old friends and meet my more recent fans and followers from the cyberspace.
So, yes, we have books. And our online store is open for business. I’ll autograph books bought directly from me. And if you drop me an email and tell me your order number and how you’d like your book personalized, I’ll gladly include the name and inscription. Bone Appétit!
