Raw Diets.......2007-06-27
This is a short, and easy to read book about feeding raw to your dog. I have fed this was for many years (I have a kennel of 20-something German Shepherds). This book managed to change over both my Mother (who thinks any info I give her is suspect) and my sister (ditto) to feeding raw. Kudos on the book!!! It's also great to loan puppy people during that "teachable time" between choosing their puppy, and actually taking the puppy home. Much easier to read than Billinghurst.
Easiest book to help you make the switch.......2007-02-12
If you're looking for a basic raw feeding book then this is the one you need. Tom Lonsdale is a veterinarian, and this book is a simple guide. It sure is to the point, and takes away all the confusion about what to fed, especially if you read a lot on the Internet about raw feeding. I really enjoyed reading this book.
Make your dog's day!.......2007-01-05
Very simple book, based on a natural premise. I now give my dogs meaty bones at least several times a week during warmer weather, when they can eat outside. The dogs love it and relish their treat. My big dogs can eat anything, and their teeth are in excellent shape, especially considering their age (over 10 years). This book helped me decide to switch my tiny dogs to a raw diet, and they are thriving. One of the toy dogs gnaws on bones, and his teeth are in better shape than those of the more delicate tiny dog. I'm a believer and have never had a problem with raw meaty bones. It may gross out friends and family, but the dogs benefit, even from occasional RMB. I wish I had read this book years ago! Not for the faint-hearted, and you MUST practice seriously good hygiene. Be sure to tell your vet if you switch or if you simply add RMB to your dog's diet.
This book cost me $2500.......2006-06-23
An email list that I am on recommended this book so I bought it. I read it twice, everything seemed logical and I decided to finally make the leap into raw food. Everyone said it was so easy.
I fed my Irish Setter 1/2 of a whole chicken and thought it was a good idea. Lonsdale says we should feed big pieces and that's what was available to me. Well, let me tell you, it was a BAD idea.
My Setter tore into the chicken with gusto and I was so pleased with myself - until she started running round in circles screaming in pain. Apparently a bone became lodged between 2 of her teeth and was puncturing the roof of her mouth.
So we raced off to the emergency clinic where my dog ultimately ended up spending 3 nights at a total cost of $2500. I cannot believe what I did to my dog based on what was in this book.
I do believe in raw food but never again will I feed whole carcasses or any bone that's not ground. It's not worth it to me or my dog.
Needless to say, there is only one word to sum up the advice in this book: BAD.
Work Wonders a must.......2006-06-11
I must have read a different book, judging by three of the reviews below. Comments such as "all he tells you is to feed big pieces of bone" - nowhere does Tom Lonsdale say that. What he does say is to feed large pieces of meat and bone, and whole carcasses (i.e. whole dead animals) wherever possible.
Comments that there is "nothing new" in the book - well, feeding as near to nature as possible isn't new, it's several thousand years old, so no, it's not new. Tom Lonsdale is the only honest author to set it out in simple terms, because that is what it is - simple! Regarding the quality of meat recommended - isn't it clear then, when he states "source food from human food suppliers"?
Far from being "a waste of money", Work Wonders is a tremendous aid to new raw feeders, as well as for those of us who have been feeding this way for several years. The book gently leads the reader through getting started, quality, quantity and frequency, through to risk management, a brilliant dentistry section and finally to the larger implications of feeding naturally - the effects on human health, the environment and the economy.
This book, along with Dr Lonsdale's seminal work Raw Meaty Bones, should be read by every dog owner. I just wish it had been around when I started feeding raw as it would have saved me making many mistakes and being misled by other "experts". It would also have SAVED me a fair bit of money!

The book gives the reader specific information that they can put into immediate practice and it draws the connections between canine nutrition, health, and life stages.
Customer Reviews:
please avoid this book.......2007-06-10
for your dog's own good, please avoid this book. it is unfortunate that just anybody can and does write books these days. there is flat out misinformation in this book. here is just one example: the author recommends feeding grapes to dogs. grapes are listed on the poison list for dogs. there are others too numerous to list.
if you want to know the FACTS about canine nutritional needs, i recommend:
1) 'home prepared dog and cat diets' by donald strombeck, DVM
2) 'canine nutrition' by lowell ackerman, DVM
3) 'small animal clinical nutrition' by hand, thatcher, remillard, roudebush (this is a veterinary text book, you can find it used for a good price at amazon)
these books have good chapters on nutrition:
1) 'dr pitcairn's complete guide to natural health for dogs & cats' by richard pitcairn, DVM
2)) 'natural health bible for dogs & cats' by shawn messonnier, DVM
3) 'dog health & nutrition for dummies' by christine zink, DVM

Instructions and recipes for creating a home-prepared diet.......2002-05-10
Feeding Your Dog For Life: The Real Facts About Proper Nutrition by canine care expert Diane Morgan is a thoughtful, "reader friendly" guide to the benefits of proper canine nutrition, a controversial field among dog owners. Offering instructions and recipes for creating a home-prepared diet that is nutritionally balanced and customized for a dog's age, breed, activity level, and health, Feeding Your Dog For Life is a superb guide for devoted dog lovers seeking the best nutrition possible for their particular animal companion at ever stage of growth and development.
Book Description
Just as humans need to eat the right balance of protein, vegetables, and whole grains, so do dogs. But where do we find the time to cook special meals just for our pets when many of us struggle to feed ourselves healthfully? With The Dog Ate It, there's no need to prepare separate meals. Developed by an award-winning cookbook writer and a rancher, The Dog Ate It is the first cookbook with recipes designed for dogs and their owners to savor together, such as:
* Chow Bella Burger Bites, Beef Teriyappi, Sausage Cheese Grits, Growly Good Granola, Beggar's Purses, Cheddar Chomps, Sushi Hand Rolls, Dog-Friendly Salads, Chicken Soup, Adobo Chicken, Good Gravy, Turkey Meatballs, Lamb Shish Kebabs, Canine Kasha, North Carolina Pork Sandwiches, Roasted Pork Chops, Pekingese Duck, Mom's Macaroni and Cheese, and more!
* Treats and Desserts from the Barkery include: Pumpkin Craisin Muffins, Tarte Tatin, Bowser's Brownies, Carob Ganache, Coco Loco Bites, Counter Surfer's Cookies, Banana Mutt Bread, Barking Biscotti, and Peanut Butter Buddy Bones
With good nutrition guidelines for dogs of all sizes, a list of Doggie Diet Dos and Don'ts, and what foods to have on hand so you can invent your own Fido-friendly recipes, The Dog Ate It is perfect for an occasional treat or for every night. You'll learn which commercial dog foods are healthy substitutes for home-cooked grub, and even how to throw the perfect pooch party for Howl-a-Ween, Canine Christmas (Fleas Navidad), or Bowser's birthday.
Few pet parents can resist sneaking table scraps to their pups. The Dog Ate It takes this principle to a marvelous new, guilt-free level, with recipes that please the palates of every member of your household. BACKCOVER: “When I realized that THE DOG ATE IT was about meals for bipeds and quadrupeds to share, I feared the worst, namely, that dogs were running the culinary show and that I would be expected not only to cook and eat homework, but to prepare and consume such canine favorites as desiccated pigs' ears and rawhide chew strips, not to mention rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and other delicacies so fresh that they were still alive. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded. The recipes in this delectably eccentric cookbook are designed to delight dog lovers as well as the objects of their affection. Highly recommended!”
—Susan Conant, author of GAITS OF HEAVEN and other novels in the Holly Winter series of dog lover's mysteries

So Far So Good.......2007-09-27
I recently purchased this book and just tried a few recipes from it. My 7-month old Wheaten Terrier puppy loves the biscotti and the cheesy-garlic biscuits. He will try the mac & cheese and the spaghetti tonight and I certainly think it smells great. I did not use the cayenne pepper, since I did not have it on-hand. As for the review below, the back of the book lists foods not to feed your dog in which grapes and raisins are listed, so perhaps the reviewer did not see this or did not see the for "humans only" which occurs throughout the book. I certainly don't think that you should choose just one cook book for your dog, instead read from each school of thought and remember you know your dog, so in the end you can provide the best nutrition for your pet.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!!.......2007-04-09
If the authors do not know that raisins and cayenne pepper are not good for dogs, they should not be writing cookbooks for dogs.
I had to put in one star, but I would make it a minus 100 if I could.
Book Description
The first book to examine the environmental, dietary, and lifestyle-related causes of cancer in pets and to assess the full spectrum of treatments--both alternative and conventional.
• Foreword by Gary Kowalski, author of The Souls of Animals.
• Cancer is the leading killer of cats and dogs, but this book explains that it is often preventable.
• Includes research on dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and guinea pigs.
• A valuable resource for all pet owners, whether their animals are still healthy or not.
Cancer is now the number one killer of most domestic animals. This fact raises a fearsome specter for those who know how confusing and painful it can be to endure the course of this disease in their pets. Having lost four animal companions to cancer, author Deborah Straw became frustrated by the lack of concrete knowledge about the causes, prevention, and treatment of cancer in pets. This thorough and comprehensive guide to every aspect of the disease in animals is the result of her search for answers.
Readers will discover the many environmental, dietetic, and vaccine-related culprits that may cause cancer in pets, and they'll learn preventive measures that can be taken to safeguard their pets' well-being. Should your animal's diagnosis be confirmed, the full spectrum of both conventional and alternative treatments is presented, from chemotherapy and laser surgery to herbal therapy, acupuncture, and touch therapy. Readers will find information about both caring for a sick animal and grieving its loss. Full of knowledge, options, and support, this is an essential resource for protecting your pet.

Good Start, but you'll need to buy additional books.......2003-03-03
I found the book easy to read and full of facts which served as a basis for me to expand my research. It is one of the better books I have read on dog cancer and alternative treatments. A positive point is that the book was not technical; it was easy to understand. It also provided some good references. However, I feel that the book cannot stand on its own as a guide for treatment or selecting alternative treatments and I was disappointed numerous times.
There were also areas where I felt the author should have included more information. For example, she referenced Vitamin C - rather than providing multiple examples of how Vitamin C saved dogs, I would have preferred some guidance on the various types of Vitamin C so I know which one I should purchase? Calcium Ascorbate, Ascorbic Acid, Ester-C, Sodium Ascorbate? What are the differences?
Another area of disappointment was that there was almost nothing on prednisone. Recently in talking to many folks whose dogs have been diagnosed with cancer, they leave the vet's office with prednisone when chemo is rejected as an alternative. The book was not helpful in this area at all. I am no wiser than before I read the book.
Above are just two of many examples where I felt the book did not contain sufficient information.
I began to question the accuracy of information in the book when I came to the section on chiropratics. I am familiar with chiropractics and was disappointed that she used incorrect terminology, did not seem to have her facts correct and referenced negative examples only. If she was not an advocate of chiropractics or was not familiar with the topic, she should have written nothing rather than to print inaccurate information.
I'm glad I bought and read the book; but I'm also glad it was not very expensive because I had to buy other books to fill in the gaps of missing information, as I cited above. I plan recommend the book to friends who have dogs with cancer. Although it is not an outstanding book, it is better than most I have read.
Important Book for all Pet Owners.......2002-02-16
I recommend that all pet owners should read this book in order to do all they can to protect their loved furry ones from preventable cancer. However, I did find that some of the information in the book was more speculative than fact, so it is necessary to do some additional research on some topics before drastically changing your pet's lifestyle.
Why is Cancer Killing Our Pets?: How You Can Protect and Tre.......2001-06-19
I recently discovered my beloved Rottie has cancer and this book helped me learn of the many options out there for treatment and how much of a problem companion animal cancer is becoming. It helped me center myself and get a better idea of the directions I could go. This book also helped me understand what to do from here on out, to help all my companion animals so that they live a healthy life. It explained the importance of a good, not overly processed diet. I am a board member of an animal protection organzation and have had dogs my entire life, and even with that I learned so much more from this book. If you love your animals read this book for them, it could change their lives and yours!!!
A Book That's Needed To Have Been Written for a Long Time.......2001-02-13
Deborah Straw has addressed a problem that has been plaguiging more and more pet owners daily. This well documented book looks carefully at causes, preventions, treatments and very cautiously at cures for the epidemic of cancer which is devastating our pets today. She covers every aspect of the subject and makes her statements credible with references to the many professionals with whom she has consulted. Straw's understanding of this disease and its ramifications is thorough and comprehensive. She deals with traditional as well as non-traditional aspects of prevention and treatment, leaving out nothing. Thereby, she offers the reader a myriad of choices as well as the power to take charge when that dreaded diagnosis is made. As a pet health care professional and an owner of four dogs who have died of cancer, as well as one who has survived the disease, I found Straw's book enlightening and hopeful. It is a book with which every pet owner should be familiar.
The Best Book on Cancer in Pets.......2000-12-30
I've had a cat with cancer for the past 15 months, so I've been reading everything I can get my hands on. This book not only talks about the diease itself, but covers all related topics--causes, nutritional support, insurance, and the loss. I especially like the sections on alternative care, which I believe can be as effective as any conventional treatment. Straw's resources are excellent, too, and she provides lots of fuel for further research. It's the only book of its kind, one you should add to your library even if your pet doesn't have cancer.

Just like humans, dogs require exercise and proper nutrition to keep them in top physical form. While most of us are pretty good at giving our pets plenty of exercise, we don't have the slightest idea what constitutes good nutrition for dogs. Earl Mindell's Nutrition and Health for Dogs is the perfect antidote, providing everything responsible dog owners need to know about their dogs' nutritional needs.
Mindell, author of Earl Mindell's Herb Bible and Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible, offers a clear, concise, and easy-to-read guide to the dos and don'ts of dog nutrition, beginning with a general overview of canine nutritional needs. This covers such topics as water quality, fresh foods, and the inadequacy of most commercial dog food. The sections on vitamins and minerals feature nicely laid-out charts explaining the importance of each element, the foods that contain it, and how to tell if your dog is getting too much or too little. The rest of the book examines more specific aspects of canine health, including your dog's immune system, natural flea control, and common diseases and their treatments. The section on breed-specific problems is especially useful to prospective dog owners, alphabetically listing genetic defects as well as ailments that might arise from various environmental/dietary factors. With its clear, logical layout, handy graphs, and glossary, Earl Mindell's Nutrition and Health for Dogs will help you add years of healthy and happy living to your dog's life.

Great breakdown of vitamin quantity for dog.......2002-06-11
My dog was diagnosed with cancer. As I grew up with him and love him very much,..I read every book I could find on cancer. It's important for me to strengthen his immune system. With all of my homemade dog food, dog vitamins, shark cartilage, flax seed oil, vitamin C pills,..etc. I found it extremely helpful to have a book that informed me of the correct amounts of vitamins and such for a small dog. This is very important as no other book I found had this for dogs. The main negative I saw in this book was having so much of it dedicated to listing many dog breeds and the health problems that are common to them. Somehow I though this could have been more concise(like a chart with a check next to the breed that corresponded to the ailment),..and my one dog only fit into one breed(and had none of the problems listed for the breed,..though I could see where it could help someone in looking for a new dog, or in planning what to expect and watch for..),..so the weight and cost of the book contained a large percentage(1/2 the book) of what didn't apply to my dog. But, the rest of the book is so valuable. I break down human vitamins into the amounts recommended by him(if you do this be careful of hidden ingredients,.. or vitamin E repeats etc.). Great book to have and follow for any dog owner.
Nutrition & Health for Dogs.......2001-07-05
I must have about 20 books on dog care, health, nutrition, etc and this book is one of the most practical so far. I would highly recommend this as a must have for any dog owner. It covers nutrition but also vaccinations, fle treatments, common conditions in dogs and nutritional support. This is a concise, easy to read book with information that you can really use whether you feed your pet commerical or homemade diet.
Informative, some flaws.......2000-02-12
I originally read this book so I could get a recipe to make dog treats. However, I found myself drawn into the other chapters on flea control and nutrition.
While I would not go so far as following a vitamin regime or homeopathic treatment for dogs (I don't even do that for myself!) I found the information on the content of "average" dog food, treats and flea control very helpful in making consumer decisions.
I would agree with a previous review that Mindell does depend heavily on human physiology for his nutritional and medical advice for dogs. He also tends to be a bit "preachy" in his commentary on canine health.
However, commonly reported scientific studies on canine nutrition is lacking and none of the human-based nutrition regimes he presents would hurt a dog (only be a bit more expensive and/or time consuming.)So why not err on the safe side?
Moreover, I have had regular vets (non-hollistic)recommend some of the flea treatments he suggests; so something must be working.
When you discover the shocking ingredients in dog food and flea control you'll be glad you read the book and were offered some alternatives.
Oh, and my dogs absolutely loved the treats!
A good synopsis of canine vitamin/mineral requirements........1999-11-05
Ordinarily I would not provide a review, however, I am aghast at the only review you have on this website that was provided anonymously. It seems that they were not sufficiently confident in their convictions to even identify themselves!
This book is not intended to provide herbal remedies for dogs. It is a simple no nonsense approach to providing the reader a basic understanding of the nutritional needs of dogs. It starts out with a good description of the problems with commercial foods and some good reasoning for preparing your own dog's meals. It then provides the basics of what dogs will need in terms of nutrients. It also provides some good advice about more natural approaches to combating fleas. He obviously believes in giving dogs the basics for a strong immune system which will help to stave away many ailments that might be linked to poor commercial nutrition.
This should not be the only or the first book you buy when looking into canine nutrition, but, it is certainly a valuable tool to make part of your library.
Dubious factual content, not particularly useful.......1999-07-23
Earl Mindell has written several books on herbs and herbal remedies, unfortunately this latest contribution shares many of their faults. The authors do not specify which portion of the plant is used for many remedies and very little research is presented to support their use. Through out the book I had the sinking feeling that there had not been enough thought given to how dog physiology differs from human physiology. The skeptical reader may want to check out the quackwatch website for more information on Mr. Mindell's other books.

A concise summary of all good and bad things in dog foods........1999-07-20
Liz Palika succinctly summarizes the in's and out's of dog food. Everything you want or need to know about dog food. From de-cyphering the label, the ingredients, the different types of foods available ( and what the different major companies have to offer) to analysing the ingredients, both good and bad. She also explains why some of the major food companies make pet food, (to use their own 'by-products' profittably. A Good read, and what every concerned pet owner should know.

Moderately informative.......1999-07-05
This book is very general and gives the reader a light overview. Personal opinions such as writing that some think the Shih Tzu acts like a spoiled child make me wonder if the author has some negative perceptions about the dog. This is not scientific - all dogs in this breed have different personalities! It's like saying all toy dogs are yappy or that all pit bulls are mean. I picked up other negative perceptions - for example, The author states that Shih Tzus are stubborn and can be hard to housebreak. This is not true in my experience. This book is informative; I only hope no new puppy owners feel disenchanted with their new dog after they read this book. When housebreaking ,for example, the trainer needs to start off with a positive mindset.

Canine Nutrition revised.......2006-02-26
Incredibly helpful book!
This book is an excellent guideline to feed by breed!
All breeds have different nutritional requirements based on body type, occupation, and origin. This book shows what types of grains, meats and vegetation are best for each breed in addition to going over general nutritional information re: vitamins & minerals, protiens, carbohydrates, fatty acids, how & when to supplement, etc.
As an animal behaviorist and canine/feline clinical nutritionist I found this book to be an excellent tool and valuable part of my canine library.
Claims based on facts taken out of context.......2003-11-15
If you compare his claims against the actual sources of his "research", you will find that much of it is completely taken out of context in order to support the point he is trying to make.
Lots of hype and no real facts. Outdated research.
An excellent reference source; not a junk food review!.......2002-11-09
After reading this book I personally spoke with the author to get more detail. This purpose of this book is to make public the scientific results of the food trials and research in question. It is not a how-to book that spoon feeds you information and preconceived notions. Dr. Cusick is addressing the causes of allergies and incompatiblities in the different ingredients that are given to each dog. The whole point is that there is NO one commercial food for all dogs. The information in this book is the result of many years of research and testing on all breeds. The topic of nutrition is so big that one book can not cover it all. Good nutrition is not simple. I was largely ignorant about commercially prepared foods before reading this book. I didn't know that corn and dried beet pulp are two of the worst allergens that are routinely put into prepackaged foods. There is only one commercial food that I know of that doesn't contain corn and that one brand only comes in one flavor so it is not best for all dogs. The author is trying to get the point across that each dog needs a specific meat (such as beef or venison) and while some may be allergic to certain foods, others may not be. The whole point is that not only do English breeds eat differently that Asian breeds or Wolfdogs, but even within a breed, the diet must be specialized. While I am a proponent of feeding organic pure foods across the board, preferably home made diets, that is not the subject of this book. Once one understands that commercial foods are not only junk food but they are also not customized, then one will stop looking for someone to write a book reviewing dog food brands. That is like looking for some to write a book on fast food restaurants and to say which is the healthiest. None of them are!!! That is an uninformed expectation. One needs to use this book as a reference, go to your local free-range meat butcher (usually at a health food store) and buy the ingredients listed for your breed. This is a book for those who know how to cook and who know how to use forums to learn the basics of cooking for a dog, including safe food handling procedure. Dr. Cusick is not trying to bias his work by giving plugs to the dog food industry. He is trying to say you have to custom prepare food for each dog. It is up to the reader to have the intuition to proceed further in their research.
Interesting reading.......1999-12-26
Since the author's focus is on home prepared diets, I didn't expect to be guided through the processed food choices. While the book does not give recipes for home cooking, it is interesting to note the authors descriptions of variances in foods between breeds. The point of one generic diet being optimal for any dog ( as processed food companies would have us believe ) is shattered here. I tried to come up with recipes for my dog that included foods the author suggests and eliminated the items that would theoretically offend. What I discovered is that my dog is an individual and does not follow the mold in this book. But after reading this material, I found a dog dietician on the net and this became my dog's saving grace. I doubt I would ever have considered this without reading this book.
What a disapointment........1999-09-02
I thought this book would give list of what foods to feed your dog. I also thought that food brands would be listed and what was best for your dog would be covered. Neither were. There is a small section at the begining on vitamins, meats, etc and then about 10 sentences per dog breed for the remainder of the book. Too little information for my taste. This book did not tell me anything about what to feed my dog.
