4.0 out of 5 stars Needs presentation improvements, but great reading, October 23, 2003
This review is from: Give Your Dog a Bone: The Practical Commonsense Way to Feed Dogs for a Long Healthy Life (Paperback)
Dr Billinghurst's book indeed suffers from a pretty bad presentation and the Dr's tendency to be a little redundant, but let's face it : the information inside the book will hit like a freight train, anyone who has been feeding kibble for years thinking it was the right thing to do.

I was one of those, I am a University Professor and like to think of myself as rather smart, besides I have been competing and breeding rottweilers at the highest levels since 1995 and feel I know lots of things about dogs... and yet this book really pointed at how stupid and naive I had been, feeding my dogs industrial kibble and not seeing for what they were, the warning signs that my dogs needed something else.

I didn't hesitate for long after reading that book, I made the switch to Dr Billinghurst's BARF Diet and my dogs have never been so great !

There are probably better books in order to have details on feeding ammounts, precise meal suggestions, etc. But Dr Billinghurst's book is a great starting point because it will really change your outlook on dog feeding.

3.0 out of 5 stars The groundbreaking B.A.R.F. book..., October 25, 2003
By 
Keith McNab (Golden, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Give Your Dog a Bone: The Practical Commonsense Way to Feed Dogs for a Long Healthy Life (Paperback)
Yes, it is terribly written. It is also confusing - often contradicting information is presented. BUT this is the book that got tens of thousands of people taking a very hard look at how they have been feeding their dogs, and coming to the conclusion that a commercial diet is by far from the best choice, and in fact raw, natural foods are the best choice for dog nutrition.

For those curious about getting started in changing their dogs' diets, I would recommend Kymythy Schultze's "Ultimate Nutrition" and Carina MacDonald's "Raw Dog Food" before recommending Billinghurst's "GYDAB".

But I would buy this little book too, as it's surely the "Grand Daddy of them all."

3.0 out of 5 stars Redundant..., October 13, 2005
By 
angie "angie" (chicago, illinois, usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Give Your Dog a Bone: The Practical Commonsense Way to Feed Dogs for a Long Healthy Life (Paperback)
After reading many websites on the BARf diet, I was rather disappointed in this book. Our dog trainer recommended it so I purchased it(rather expensive). The author repeats over and over what could have been said in a few chapters. Commercial dog food is bad and bones are good pretty much sums it up. It would have been nice to have an index to look up specifics, like the actual diet.If you do a search on the BARf diet on the web you'll get precise, comprehensive information for no cost!
