 Best reading for RAW feeding March 10, 2010
Sheila Coffield (Richmond, VA, USA)
Thanks to our breeder she turned us on to the RAW diet. This book helped us find our way to feeding our dogs the right way! Our 2 German Shepherds are very healthy with NO issues. Their coats are silky and their teeth are nice and white, thanks to the bones! We turn to this book very often, it has a GREAT book to have on hand.

Okay... first off, I feed my dogs & my cat raw. Pretty much the 'Barf' style of feeding. But, I have found this book to be VERY disappointing as I was hoping for some actual facts supported by 'evidence' that I could back my feeding practices up with. Instead, he says a lot of stuff that, while true, he doesn't bother to provide the sources to his 'facts'. So he makes it easy for someone who is skeptical to just dismiss the whole raw feeding thing altogether. This book is very repetitive, each chapter is basically some new info with a bunch of the old info rehashed over again (with no supporting evidence, of course... just 'take my word for it'). If you are looking for 'proof' that raw feeding is the right way to go, I'd recommend reading Tom Lonsdale's books instead (Raw Meaty Bones, Work Wonders). If you're the type of person that isn't looking for proof, but rather 'how to', then this book is probably Okay for that. Another issue that I have is the cheesy cartoons throughout the entire book. It takes a lot away from the author's professionalism & credibility. The 'Work Wonders' book from Lonsdale has the same sort of silly artwork, ????
Oh, & another concern... Billinghurst has his own line of special 'supplements' which are ridiculously overpriced, & has a website 'Barfworld' that you have to pay an annual membership fee to be involved with it. NOT cool.....

Good book. Full of useful information. Will give you more than you may want to know if you are the kind that likes to follow a recipe instead of understanding the chemistry behind it. Very repetitive; after the first chapter I was already convinced that the dry/cooked food was not the best and understood why. The author did not need to tell me again on every page of the following chapters. Still, if you consider switching your dog's diet to raw but need more hard facts about it, it's a good book to get.
YOUR DOG WANTS YOU TO READ THIS! December 29, 2008

If your dog could choose a selection of books for you, this would probably be wedged into the stack. I was skeptical before I read this one, but am convinced now. I loved the fact that this book is written by a passionate dog-owning vet who is not selling anything. A must-read, if you're considering a more natural diet for your pooch.

I highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of feeding their dog a raw diet. Dr. Billinghurst provides subtantial information on the benefits of feeding raw over processed food and makes it easy to understand what is required to properly feed your dog for a longer and healthier life. Most raw feeders consider this book their primary reference. It is not an easy find, especially at a reasonable price, and I was thoroughly delighted to find it available at Amazon. The condition of the book was exactly as described and the transaction was simple and speedy.
