Product Description
In this updated second edition of "Dr.Earl Mindell's Nutrition and Health for Dogs," the renowned author of "The Vitamin Bible" and his coauthor, Elizabeth Renaghan, focus on how a dog's body functions nutritionally. They point out that, overall, a dog's body functions much the same as a human's body and has similar nutritional requirements. Although some canine needs differ from people's, dogs also thrive on good nutrition, exercise, clean water, and love-and for optimal health, specific foods and vitamin/mineral supplements. The authors discuss easy, flexible, and affordable ways to keep one's dog healthy, and elaborate on the different nutritonal requirements of different breeds. They explain why each nutrient discussed is needed, and recommend size-appropriate amounts of them for dogs ranging from small to giant. "Dr. Earl Mindell's Nutrition and Health for Dogs" is devided into seven informative parts. Part One is all about creating optimum nutrition for one's dog. In the parts that follow, the authors talk about why it is important to keep a dog's immune system healthy; they devote a section to natural flea control, and another to homeopathy, an increasingly popular, and highly effective, therapy for dogs; they delve into the five most common dog diseases, and other common canine ailments, and finally, they give an alphabetical, breed-specific listing of potential health problems for dogs. This manual is an important alternative to the multi-million-dollar dog-food industry, which wants people to believe that a dog is happiest when receiving the exact same foods day after day. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nutritional variety is every bit as important for a dog as it is for a dog's owner, and dogs, lke people, thirve on a mix of fresh foods including frutis and vegetables.
