Nutrient Requirements of Dogs and Cats (Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals)

This is not for casual reading and it leaves out some critical information about the contstraints put on dog foods by processing and testing. However, it represents the common knowledge on which the formulation of dog feeds is based. It also, when carefully read, shows some of the limitations of that knowledge. It is important to understand nutrition in a more general way before reading this book but it is a critical reference.

Unique information based on multiple researches. Hard to read but must to know!

This is a summary of scientific research done over a period of decades. It is not a "how to" manual for making pet food. I spent many hours with it in conjunction with the USDA website and found that it is nearly impossible to come up with a recipe for home-made dog food that will meet all of the nutritional needs without exceeding the maximum amounts of certain nutrients.

This is a reference book, not a book to sit and read (unless you have a penchant for studying and love to read scientific material about dog and cat nutrition). That said, this is the absolute bible regarding the nutritional needs of cats and dogs, a compendium of the most current research findings available. This would be the definitive reference for anyone involved in animal nutrition or who is developing diets and recipes for cats and dogs.

A must have. I use this to help students balance raw diets.

Has tons of information about nutrition, very complete

All the info I need
