"Truth About Pet Food" WEBINAR®
MAY 10, 6 PM PDT
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!

About Susan Thixton...

Picture
Susan Thixton learned the 'truth about pet food' the hard way.  Over 19 years ago her best four-legged friend was diagnosed with bone cancer at only 8 years old.  Susan's veterinarian explained her dog's cancer was probably caused from chemical preservatives in the pet food used to extend shelf life.  This dog food was the number one pet food in the U.S.; it was a 'trusted' company.  A phone call to the pet food manufacturer changed Susan's life.  The pet food company told Susan the shelf life of this dog food was "25 years".  Since that day Susan has studied the pet food industry.  Today with TruthaboutPetFood.com, Susan shares pet food information with a world of concerned pet parents.

Susan is internationally recognized as the pet food expert helping pet owners understand how to find the safest and healthiest pet foods and treats. She's authored hundreds of pet industry articles and publishes a consumer magazine, Petsumer Report.  She speaks frequently, has lectured at veterinary schools, and been interviewed by radio hosts all over the US and Canada.  Most recently, Susan has published a new book,"Buyer Beware: The Crimes, Lies and Truth About Pet Food."  This book is available at Amazon.
