How well can you answer pet owners' questions about proper diet and
feeding? Canine and Feline Nutrition, 3rd Edition describes the
role of nutrition and its effect on health and wellness and the
dietary management of various disorders of dogs and cats. By using
the book's cutting-edge research and clinical nutrition
information, you'll be able to make recommendations of appropriate
pet food and proper feeding guidelines. Pet nutrition experts Linda
P. Case, MS, Leighann Daristotle, DVM, PhD, Michael G. Hayek, PhD,
and Melody Foess Raasch, DVM, provide complete, head-to-tail
coverage and a broad scope of knowledge, so you can help dog and
cat owners make sound nutrition and feeding choices to promote
their pets' health to prolong their lives. Tables and boxes provide
quick reference to the most important clinical information. Key
points summarize essential information at a glance. A useful
Nutritional Myths and Feeding Practices chapter dispels and
corrects common food myths. New clinical information covers a wide
range of emerging nutrition topics including the role of the
omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid families in pet health and disease
management. Coverage of pet food safety and pet food ingredients
includes both commercially and home-prepared foods and provides
answers to pet owners' questions on these topics. Completely
updated content reflects the latest findings in clinical nutrition
research. Information regarding functional ingredients and dietary
supplementation provides a scientifically based rationale for
recommending or advising against dietary supplements. Guidelines
for understanding pet food formulations and health claims
differentiate between "market-speak" and actual clinical benefits
for patients, with practice advice for evaluating and selecting
appropriate foods.
