The Holistic Guide For a Healthy Dog - Book Review

I, Jenn have taken over Wrigley’s blog to let his readers know about a book I just finished.  The book is called Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog by Wendy Volhard & Kerry Brown (affiliate link).  I did read it from cover to cover, but you would not have to if time were an issue.  The book is a very good resource for holistic nutrition for your dog.  It begins with information about the importance of proper nutrition.  Diseases, poor skin and coat and even behavioral issues can be traced to poor nutrition.  These and more conditions can also be cured by moving away from commercial foods and feeding your dog the nutrients they need.  There is lots of valuable information about your dog’s nutritional needs.  The authors break down an extensive list of amino acids, vitamins and minerals that your dog requires.  They give the benefits of each, and also its forms, digestibility, contraindications and other important information.  There is also discussion of many different issues and health problems that your dog could suffer from and dietary remedies for those issues.

I have read some complaints about this book because it does deal with non-traditional methods.  However you feel about that, the vast amount of nutritional information is well worth it.  I think this is a great reference book for those who are interested in feeding their dog he healthiest diet possible.
