Lowe ( Montreal) Superb in every way. Sheila B. Tyler ( UK ) Absolutely the best, unbiased information on home prepared diets. My vet thinks so too and that's a switch! B. Smyth ( Vancouver) You have set a new standard in what books about canine diets should be. Thank you for not underestimating the reader and for showing your love toward animals. D. L. Doussa ( UK) The best book on canine diets that I've ever read and I've read a lot of them! Sue Langer ( Florida) Bravo! I commend you for doing the research that others before you should have but did not. J. Krug ( Germany ) Facts combined with a warm heart and a skilled pen. This is an unbeatable combination that deserves applause. C. Fine ( California ) Easy reading and big on facts. Thank you for showing us the whole picture. This book is better than I could have imagined and I'll be telling all my friends about it. Dorene Hamilton ( USA ) Thank you for having the backbone to state facts and distinguish them from fiction. I highly recommend this book to all my clients. Dr. P. Stone Groundbreaking, easy reading that I could do in three days. The wolf blood values and analyses of raw meaty bones makes this book even more valuable than expected. Fabulous information, studies and references. C. Slater ( New Zealand )

	This seminar will CUSTOMIZED to it's participants, based on information YOU provide in a simple questionnaire provided with your Registration Form. However, below are some broad topics which will be addressed: Your dog is unique - just as each person is unique. Diet holds a prominent role in the health of our pets. But which diet will you choose? Do you feed canned or bagged foods? Do you feed a home cooked diet or a raw one? Is there any one diet plan that works better than the others? The fact is that there is "hype" about all methods of feeding! How do you find the "individually appropriate" diet for your dog? Why are so many veterinarians against home prepared diets while more and more dog guardians seem to be interested in these same diets? Does you dog really need added supplements? If so, which ones and why? What does a "complete and balanced diet" mean. Can you help your dog by addressing nutrition responsive diseases? If so, how do you go about it? Are your dog's allergies responsive to dietary changes? What are the benefits and risks of the diffeent methods of feeding? How will you find the time to prepare food for your dog when you can barely find the time to do this for yourself? What happens to the diet when you need to travel?
