    If you are interested in this subject and want to read a science-based publication written by someone whohas no personal axe to grind then you can do no better than this.Written in very accessible language but with all the (known) facts and figures you need to make the bestindividual decisions for your four-legged friends within your available budget.Part One explores the dog, its ancestry, digestive anatomy, including the spectrum of carnivory which may surprise some readers.It also looks at the caregiver’s part of the equation. It is we who purchase, prepare and provide our pets’ meals and thus the dog is at the mercy of our choices and how we have been influenced.The nutritional requirements of the dog are discussed and the world of dog food with its plethora of options is also investigated leading us to the question which is best? The answer, as usual, is “it depends”. In this case, on the dog.Part Two looks at the specific nutritional needs of dogs in more detail covering the roles protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals play.Finally Part Three looks at how to apply all the above knowledge to our dogs considering life stage, activity levels, etc.The author recognises the difficulty that many caregivers face when seeking advice with much of the latter emanating from self-styled experts without any actual industry recognised qualifications in this area.The book also reflects that there is still a lot we do not know for certain.It is well illustrated with tables, charts and photographs and will be a useful reference tool for all owners.
