Download or read book Canine Nutrition written by William D. Cusick and published by Doral Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's dog food industry is producing hundreds of dog food formulas for the market. This industry has also tested many different breeds of dogs for their nutritional requirements. Results of this testing were published in 1985, showing such a wide range of nutritional requirements that we now know one food cannot be correct for all dogs. Yet, to date, no one from any of the dog food companies has come forward to tell us which breeds might react adversely to their food. This has left most dog food buyers in the position of having to experiment at home in order to find the best food for their dog. Too often this type of experimenting has had disastrous results. But now the dog food buyer has a tool...this book can help all dog owners match their dog to the right food. Recommendations in this book are made by the nutrient sources found in most commercial dog food formulas, and not by brand name or with any bias or brand loyalty.
