1.0 out of 5 stars please avoid this book, June 10, 2007

This review is from: Feeding Your Dog for Life: The Real Facts About Proper Nutrition (Paperback)

for your dog's own good, please avoid this book. it is unfortunate that just anybody can and does write books these days. there is flat out misinformation in this book. here is just one example: the author recommends feeding grapes to dogs. grapes are listed on the poison list for dogs. there are others too numerous to list.
if you want to know the FACTS about canine nutritional needs, i recommend:
1) 'home prepared dog and cat diets' by donald strombeck, DVM
2) 'canine nutrition' by lowell ackerman, DVM
3) 'small animal clinical nutrition' by hand, thatcher, remillard, roudebush (this is a veterinary text book, you can find it used for a good price at amazon)
these books have good chapters on nutrition:
1) 'dr pitcairn's complete guide to natural health for dogs & cats' by richard pitcairn, DVM
2)) 'natural health bible for dogs & cats' by shawn messonnier, DVM
3) 'dog health & nutrition for dummies' by christine zink, DVM
