best dog nutrition book I've found

This book gives a scientific look at dog nutrition. Not just guesses, but based on studies. Thorough coverage of the topic -- pregnancy, growth, work, etc. Wish they would update it though.

It seems though dogs have more health issues now. This book was very user friendly and informative. My current dogs seems to have more issues than any before him. This book has given me information to get him healthy and keep him healthy. Thank you thank you

All the information you need to feed your dog

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.
