Times change. However, our pets’ nutritional needs remain the same as their wild ancestors millennia ago.
Cats, dogs and ferrets need raw meaty bones to stay strong, healthy and happy. This timeless truth, however, has been lost to pet owners, with disastrous consequences.
In Raw Meaty Bones: Promote Health, ‘whistleblower vet’ Dr Tom Lonsdale draws upon decades of research to explain how industrial diets devastate pets’ health, with tartar-encrusted teeth, sore gums and stinky breath signalling the downward spiral of sickness, suffering and endless trips to the vet.
He shows why dogs and cats crave the ripping, tearing and crunching of raw meaty bones – nature’s miracle treatment and preventative. As well as providing the right nutrition, the tough, chewy texture has medicinal benefits: keeping their teeth clean, gums healthy and breath sweet. This, in turn, benefits their immune system, heart, liver, lungs and kidneys.
First published in 2001, and still as relevant today, Raw Meaty Bones makes no apology, exposing a veterinary profession lost without a moral compass, beholden to multinational ‘junk pet food’ companies.
The pet health revolution starts here, protecting your pets, your wallet, and the natural environment.
About Dr Tom Lonsdale
Dr Tom Lonsdale BVetMed MRCVS, a highly respected and accomplished veterinarian, has dedicated himself to protecting pets for five decades.
Over and above the standard vet’s duty of care to protect the health and wellbeing of animals, he has become one of the world’s leading natural feeding experts and the preeminent advocate for raw meaty bones.
Dr Lonsdale was born in Britain and graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, University of London, in 1972, beginning his career in veterinary medicine as a volunteer in Nairobi, Kenya. He subsequently worked in farm animal, zoo animal, and small animal private practice in the UK before emigrating to Australia at the beginning of the 1980s, where he established a mixed animal veterinary clinic in Western Sydney.
He first began to suspect that an industrial diet of highly processed commercial pet food could be causing a wide range of serious health issues for dogs and cats in the late 1980s. He discovered, to pet owners’ delight, that numerous ailments, not least the visible dental and gum disease that seems endemic in the pet population, could be rectified by swapping ‘junk pet food’ for high-quality raw meaty bones.
This marked the beginning of three decades of observation, research and campaigning to improve the health and wellbeing of pets through a diet of raw meaty bones. As well as helping pet owners and their pets through the advocation of raw meaty bones, he has given
voice to the voiceless by consistently calling for global pet food manufactures and those veterinary schools and practices that he accuses of colluding with pet food manufacturers to be held accountable for their actions. Dr Lonsdale believes they are deceiving pet owners and harming pets by selectively ignoring scientific fact around the inadequacy of ‘junk pet food’ in the pursuit of profit maximisation.
In 1991, he first brought his concerns about commercial pet food to the wider public’s attention through a veterinary newsletter article, ‘Oral Disease in Cats and Dogs’. He has continued to write extensively on the subject since then, authoring three books (published through Rivetco), including Raw Meaty Bones: Promote Health and Work Wonders: Feed Your Dog Raw Meaty Bones.
His 2023 book, Multi-Billion-Dollar Pet Food Fraud: Hiding In Plain Sight, explores the ways in which ‘junk pet food’ manufacturers are fuelling a global pet illness pandemic through the promotion of highly processed pet food. The book reveals the unscrupulous tactics pet food manufacturers use to dominate the market in the name of profit and their efforts to ‘control the science’ through governmental lobbying and university partnerships, despite being abundantly aware of the harmful effects of their products.
