"Home-Prepared Dog and Cat Diets, Second Edition" provides an
introduction to nutrition of the healthy dog and cat and an
extensive discussion of medical disorders that can be managed in
part through diet. Presenting easy-to-follow recipes that can be
prepared at home, this new edition of Donald Strombeck's classic
handbook has been completely rewritten by new author Patricia A.
Schenck to reflect the latest nutritional recommendations based on
current research. New chapter topics include feeding the puppy and
kitten; feeding the pregnant or lactating dog or cat; feeding the
senior pet; feeding the performance dog; and the role of diet in
pets with cancer.
Diets are now listed together in a cookbook style for ease of
use, and recipes are adjustable for any size dog or cat, allowing
exact nutritional values to be calculated. Nutrient content for
protein, fat, carbohydrate, and fiber have been provided for every
diet, along with the nutrient density. A companion website features
downloadable spreadsheets with complete nutritional breakdowns for
each recipe.
Useful for both veterinarians and pet owners alike,
"Home-Prepared Dog and Cat Diets, Second Edition" is a unique
handbook written by an expert in the field providing an
introduction to the nutritional management of dogs and cats with
easy-to-use recipes for home-prepared diets.
Clarification: Calcium Carbonate
We've had some questions from readers regarding the use of the
term "calcium carbonate," which is listed as an ingredient in a
number of the diets found in this book, and therefore wanted to
clarify what is meant by this ingredient. Baking soda comes in two
forms: sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate. The sodium
bicarbonate version is widely available as "baking soda" and is
commonly used in baking, but none of the recipes in this book use
it as an ingredient. The calcium carbonate version of baking soda
is sometimes sold as "baking soda substitute" and sometimes
referred to as simply "baking soda."
To avoid confusing sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, any
time the calcium carbonate type of baking soda has been used in a
diet in this book, the ingredient includes the specific term
"calcium carbonate." There are several manufacturers of calcium
carbonate baking soda; for example, Amazon carries the Ener-G Foods
product baking soda substitute. Calcium carbonate can also be sold
for garden use, which is non-food-grade, so to avoid the use of the
garden product in foods, the term "baking soda" was used in this
book instead to indicate that readers should be sure to select a
food-appropriate ingredient.
