All the information you need to feed your dog,
By DoubleDogs "kiwi@cvalley.net" (Marceline, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canine Nutrition (Paperback)
I have been making home-made diets for my dogs for years and have several books on nutrition but this book is the one I always reach for first! It is easy to understand yet has lots of detailed information on nutrient requirements and recipes, along with chapters on diets for medical conditions and nutritional supplementation for diseases. My copy is dogeared and highlighted and has lots of scraps of paper sticking out of the pages. It will take you a long time to out-grow this book.
