Kurzbeschreibung
LEARN THE AMAZING TRUTH ABOUT YOUR DOG'S HEALTH A dog's body functions pretty much the same way our bodies do. Just like us, dogs thrive on good nutrition, exercise, clean water, and lots of love. For optimal health, however, specific foods and vitamin/mineral supplements can make a big difference. In Earl Mindell's Nutrition and Health for Dogs, Earl Mindell and Elizabeth Renaghan discuss easy, flexible, and affordable ways to keep your dog healthy. They even cover the different nutritional needs for the various breeds-from small to giant. This manual is an important alternative to the multi-million-dollar dog-food industry, which wants people to believe that a dog is happiest when receiving the exact same foods day after day. According to Mindell and Renaghan, nothing could be further from the truth. Nutritional variety, they say, is every bit as important for a dog as it is for a dog's owner. And dogs, like people, thrive on a mix of fresh foods, including fruits and vegetables. In this book, you'll discover: How to create optimum nutrition for your dog with naturally healthy food, treats, vitamins, and minerals; Why it's so important to keep your dog's immune system healthy; How to control fleas safely and naturally; How to use homeopathy for dogs; How to recognize common dog diseases and ailments. If you want your dog to have a long, healthy life, it will be well worth your while to follow the time-honored recommendations in this book.

Pretty good but lacks in precision on a few minor points and one major
12. August 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I really enjoyed this book for the most part as it offers very SPECIFIC information regarding vitamin and mineral supplementation, not just vague "rules of thumb." He actually gives you dosages and explains in non-medical language what the vitamins do, why they're important, and in which foods many can be found. Herein lies my first major cause for alarm: he suggests red grapes as a nutritional form of the trace mineral selenium (p.39)-- this is a potentially deadly recommendation as grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs. Dogs who ingest grapes or raisins can develop acute kidney failure and in many cases die. Please do some verifying online and with your veterinarian before taking this recommendation from the book and if in doubt, err on the side of caution and avoid grape products.
The second gripe I have is in regards to his discussion of stress in puppies and adult dogs. This topic is breached around p. 60 and is in reference to how emotional stress can weaken the immune system. While Mindell's observations are certainly valid from the physical standpoint, he neglects the long-term behavioral implications of his recommendation for owners to attempt to eliminate their dog's stressors altogether or treat a hyperactive dog with natural remedies such as B-complex, Valarian, kava, and magnesium. Another approach that isn't mentioned is to introduce stressful situations, such as riding in the car or meeting a new dog, in a controlled, proactive way (potentially with the assistance of a dog trainer). A person doesn't do their dog any favors by sheltering them from environmental stressors because it's almost inevitable that the dog will come face to face with the stressor eventually. Starting from puppyhood a dog should be taught how to approach and deal with unfamiliar (and thus stressful) situations. A dog who is not socialized with uncomfortable sounds, sights, and sensations early on is likely to become MORE fearful of these things later in life and potentially lash out in an aggressive manner. I would have liked to have seen a broader approach to dealing with this topic since it deals directly with animal behavior.
It should also be noted that he advocates a raw diet and minimal vaccinations. For those who don't align with that camp, be forewarned! In all, I think I'm still on-board with Dr. Mindell, but he definitely shook my confidence with that grape recommendation.
