Reader Reviews
Excellent book Well Written. Great format, great philosophy well researched. All dog lovers should read and have this in their library. High marks ! - T. Soleng
Fabulous book!! It is packed with information, but easy to understand and apply. I found the book to be very balanced and subjective in it's approach and advice. For example, it fairly presents the pros/cons of different diet approaches, without specifically recommending a "one size fits all" solution. All chapters of the book are valuable, but the section on diet and nutrition is particularly outstanding! Since reading the book, I have adopted a diet of home-cooked meals for my german-shepherd-mutt that is virtually 100% vegetarian! Seeing the way she responded to the new diet has converted many of my friends into believers who were total skeptics of a vegetarian diet. Although my dog was always healthy and happy, the changes are unbelievable in terms of her temperament, appearance and personality. Regardless of whether you're looking to change your dog's diet (as I did), this is a valuable book and must-have for every serious dog owner! - Lisa
