Summary: The Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog
Comment: If you are to have one great book on learning about nutrition and what the vets don't explain and what you need to learn, this is the one to have. Wendy has been the pioneer on research when it comes to feeding our dogs. This includes how to read blood work and what it means. Why feeding our dogs correctly is SOO important and how we can achieve ultimate health for our companions. I would highly recommend the soft cover edition also as this would complete your library if you are at all interested in learning about nutrition for your dog. You should also check out the Volhard nutrition list on Yahoo where Volhard staff are there to help with your questions!!!

Summary: everything _but_ the diet
Comment: overall this is a pretty good book. if you use it for what its title suggests, you should be pleased. that is, a holistic guide to a healthy dog. using it for the purpose of creating a new diet for your dog is another matter. the author's "natural diet" is certainly, without a doubt an improvement over most of the garbage fed to dogs in the form of commercial dog food.
however, having said that, if what you are really looking for is a guide to creating a healthy, _raw_ diet for your dog you definitely could do better than this book. ian billinghurst's "give your dog a bone" is what you are looking for. the volhard diet doesnt quite "get" the concept of the BARF ("Bones And Raw Food" _or_ "Biologically Appropriate Raw Food") diet...and unfortunately it _tries_ without much success. the volhard "Natural Diet" is too rigid as well as mis-informed in many cases, and in my opinion too much of a sales pitch.
This book definitely contains some useful info, especially regarding vaccine options, homeopathic remedies, laboratory testing ,etc. For those topics it is excellent. For the topic of "raw diet" i would look at billinghurst.

Summary: If you consider your dog a member of your family
Comment: Discovering the Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog is one of the best discoveries I have made in my life! If you consider your dog a member of your family and you want to do everything you can to hlep it have a long, healthy, long life this book is for you. It comes complete with a chat room of wonderful people who can answer most any question you have regarding the diet.
It's a book that you will refer to over and over - the first thing you will consult when you think there might be a problem.
We have used the diet recommended in the book for two for more than 5 years. Our vet applauds our efforts.
