I now have healthy happy dogs,

This review is from: Give Your Dog a Bone: The Practical Commonsense Way to Feed Dogs For a Long Healthy Life (Paperback)
I thought before I read this book that I was doing the best for my dogs by buying the best dog food available. I changed them 'cold turkey' to their new diet - it made so much sense. Now I have leaner healthier dogs who chew their food instead of bolting it, they love the variety of the fruit and veg which I would never let them eat before to avoid 'funny tummy'. No more smelly breathe, no more fights about the toothbrush, no nasty black teeth, no more bouts of the runs. Their whole bodies smells sweeter. Now I know I'm feeding them the best and it is so easy and soooo much cheaper too. If you love your dog you need this book.

Probably best reading this AFTER reading a more simple book.,
This review is from: Give Your Dog a Bone: The Practical Commonsense Way to Feed Dogs For a Long Healthy Life (Paperback)
This is a good book for someone wanting to feed their dog a more healthy, natural diet HOWEVER - it repeats itself a lot making it quite a tedious read! I found it quite useful - however, if I had not read NATURAL NUTRITION FOR CATS AND DOGS by Kymmathy (I forgot her surname!) then I think that it would have confused me! Also, as the book is written by an Australian author most food references / diseases are those native to australia i.e. Kangaroo... I'd definately recommend reading this book AFTER reading a more simple, easy to follow, easy to read book such as Natural Nutrition for cats and dogs!!!

Another happy reader,
By David Glover "david42717" (Byron Bay, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Give Your Dog a Bone: The Practical Commonsense Way to Feed Dogs For a Long Healthy Life (Paperback)
I'll endorse the positive reviews. I was lent the book by the Animal Welfare Society (Australia), where we got our puppy and have followed its advice with great results for our dog, now nearly four years old.
As others have said, the writing in the book can be a little repetitive, but that's because the author is a subject expert rather than an expert writer. I have to comment on the very negative review by "A Reader". First, it's clear they haven't read the book because they make a number of statements that don't reflect the books content. It appears they've simply decided to review it negatively for their own reasons. Statements like "not supported by scientists" and assertions about pet food companies' expenditure on research are just assertions. If you want to persuade us of your point of view, please identify yourself and support your assertions with data, references, URLs etc. My positive review of the book is based on my own reading and experience with my dog, who's been on this diet since he was three months old. It came professionally recommended to me and vets I've spoken to agree with its content. It's a simple fact that many vet practices get a lot of income from sales of premium commercial pet food and they have a commercial in selling them. I'm not bashing any vets for wanting to make a living (all the ones I know work extremely hard and deserve all they get). And I'm not qualified to judge the nutritional merit of these products. But I can compare their cost and convenience with the diet advocated by this book - which comes out way ahead of them. And Dr Billinghurst's logic is irrefutable - dogs have been thriving and evolving for millennia without commercial dog food.
