Joy's Recommended Reading:
Books about Dogs:
They Are Smarter Than You Think, by Dr. Paul Loeb. My husband Brian brought this home and it is, in my humble estimation, a very fine book about dog diet and training.
Check for it at dogwise.com, Amazon.com, or call, 800-776-2665.
Study: Dogs Fed Reduced-Calorie Diet. A September 2002 University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine article that supports "Are you Killing your Dog?" and other articles by Charlotte Peltz.
Becoming the Chef Your Dog Thinks You Are - A Nourishing Guide to Feeding
Your Dog and Your Soul, by Micki Voisard, C.S.D. Micki's books are available at: www.dogchefs.com.
Recently a friend who shows in obedience and performance events, told me about a wonderful place where she buys the BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods) diet, ready made. I looked at the site, www.auntjeni.com, and I was amazed at the common denominators between Aunt Jeni's information and what Charlotte Peltz recommends in her articles. I feel as though the circle is complete; we are back to good wholesome food for our dogs -- and it is conveniently packaged! It's your choice. Check it out! |
