This book was recommended by Cargill of Dog World, who said if you only get one book on dog nutrition, make it this one. I find Cargill to research things well and therefore come up with good recommendations. Author Daniel Carey has been a staff veterinarian at Iams and Purina. Highly recommended.

I found this book to be filled with information on the nutritional needs of both cats and dogs. As A pet owner I always read the pet food lables. Till I read this book I was unaware of how misleading those lables can be. I have come away from this book with a much better understanding of the nutritional needs of my pets and how to feed them to promote health and longevity. I also have gained some insight into how to spot signs of nutritional deficiencies in my pets. Surpisingly two of the writers of this book appear to work for Iams, a rather large and well known pet food company. This book was far from biased for the pet food industry nor did it appear to promote any pet food. This book has changed my view of the pet food industry and I will be be much more cautious in the future. I am revamping my pets' diets today! I feel this book is a must for anyone who owns a cat or a dog.

This book was profoundly disappointing. I expected information on feeding my animals food "fit for human consumption" and from my kitchen (versus store bought). I realized shortly into the book that it was written by experts at Iams Company, a maker of pet food. Their recommendations are based on meeting the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) guidelines - a committee developed by the pet food industry when they decided they did not care for the requirements recommended by the Committee of Animal Nutrition of the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academy of Science.
I did get one good tip from the book on how to clean my kitchen after working with raw meat. Otherwise, there are much better books out there for people looking for healthier pets through the food system.
