Download or read book Dog Food Logic written by Linda P. Case, M.S. and published by Dogwise Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choosing the right dog food in a world with too many choices
Walking down the dog food aisle in a pet supply superstore can present you with an overwhelming number of choices. Reading about dog food on the internet can make your head spin with so many opinions and stories. And judging the content that you find on dog food packaging can be confusing and misleading. How can the average dog owner make an informed choice in accordance with her dog’s age, size and condition? In her latest book, author Linda Case describes how to make logical, evidence-based decisions for what to feed your dog amid all the options available.
You will learn
• How pet food marketers appeal to your emotions to persuade you to buy a particular type of dog food.
• To distinguish between scientific, evidence-based information and the anecdotal evidence which is so pervasive—and often misleading—in the dog food arena.
• Is there a scientific basis for dog foods designed specifically for puppies, senior dogs, canine athletes—even various breeds of dogs?
• How to read and evaluate all of the material included on a typical package of dog food from the ingredients and label claims (“Natural,” “Anti-Oxidant,” “Low Fat”),to the Nutrient Analysis and Nutritional Adequacy statements.
• How to avoid choice paralysis and the cognitive traps that can interfere with clear decision making.
What experts are saying about Dog Food Logic
Pet food is like a religion for many—but now those strong emotional ties can be backed up with fact. Linda Case separates fact from fiction, explains the complex terms and offers a guide to pet nutrition in simple to comprehend language. Unlike other books on this topic, there is no agenda here—except to present facts and then allow pet owners to make their own logical conclusions, letting the kibble drop where it may.

Claudia Kawczynska, Founder and Editor-in-chief of The Bark
Don’t read this book if you want someone to tell you what to feed your dog. This is a book for people who want to learn, in a reasoned and thoughtful way, how to figure it out for themselves. Dog Food Logic goes way beyond the usual textbook list of nutritional requirements to cover the pet food industry in all its glory: the history, the business, the marketing, and best of all, the science. Case deftly navigates the most controversial topics in pet food and presents the big picture without interjecting judgment about what approach is best. There’s something here for everyone: pet care professionals and dog lovers alike will learn something new from this informative, easy to read, and well researched book.

Download or read book Dog Food for Thought written by Robert Filderman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dog" Food For Thought The title of my book is "Dog" Food For Thought. The tagline is The Good, Bad, and Ugly of What You are Feeding Your Pup. The purpose of the book is to give people who own dogs an overview of foods that people eat normally and have a tendency to include in their pet's diet without considering whether they are beneficial or harmful to their animals. When their pets become sick, or they find it necessary to visit the veterinarian often because of a chronic condition, they don't understand that the condition could have been derived from a poor diet. The people that will be reading this book are people who are concerned about what Fido needs to be a healthy pooch but don't have the time to spend hours researching the subject, or even know where to look to find answers. There are few competing books such as this one to be found on the market: Give Your Dog a Bone by Dr. Ian Billinghurst, The Lucky Dog Weight Loss Plan by Vicky Marshall, and Unlocking the Canine Ancestral Diet by Steve Brown. The content in these books, however, is not at all similar to what this book is all about. The premise of the book is not to tell people what to do, but give them the pros and cons of specific foods or ingredients, and let them make their own choices, thus the title "Dog" Food For Thought. Dogs depend on you to feed them correctly. They can't buy food; they don't have money to spend on food, they might have money in some cases, but they don't have pockets to keep it in if they did. So, if you want a healthy dog that doesn't have to go to the vet frequently, be conscientious about their diet. Taking your dog to the vet often can be very expensive. We're going to get into foods that are beneficial and foods that are harmful. We'll examine the pros and cons. Because dogs are carnivores, meat is very beneficial to them: beef, buffalo, salmon, sardines, organs, fish, pork, turkey, venison, lamb, and tuna just to name a few. The leaner the meat is, the more beneficial it would be. Feeding a dog fat trimmings, or excessive fat can cause overweight problems or be hard on their heart. We'll also get into raw vs. cooked. Some people say that you should cook everything, while others say that feeding your dog raw foods is the only way to go. We'll go through both kinds, thus leaving you choices as to what you feel is best for your companion. We'll also go through organic vs. not organic. Feeding your pup what's on the market and easy, but perhaps not healthy, or taking the time to make your own pup's food. There are so many different varieties of foods for dogs out there; it can make your head swim. Some people say that they don't have time to put together food at home for Fido, it's so much easier just to open a can or a bag, fill up the food dish and be done with it. I would say to them, "Is that what you do for your family, or if you live alone, all you do for yourself?" There is an old saying, "You are what you eat, that simply means eat junk and you will suffer, eat well and you will prosper. People don't realize that a healthy dog will have to go to the vet less, so if you are concerned about the time and expense it might be to buy quality ingredients to feed your dog, think about how much that vet bill might be if your pet gets sick on crappy dog food. There are many good websites out there that have great recipes that you can put together, whether you prefer doing a raw diet or a cooked one. You will find that some people don't believe in adding vegetables, but rather supplements, while others believe in the benefit of adding vegetables. Whatever you decide, it's always your choice. The purpose of my writing this book was always to give you a choice. I am only supplying you options. In the end, you have the opportunity to make the final decision, for better or worse.
