Format:Taschenbuch
... ist dieses, in relativ leicht verständlichem Englisch geschriebene Buch (trauen Sie sich ruhig, es ist echt nicht schwer zu verstehen!!).
Auch ich als sog. "alter Hase" was das Barfen angeht, habe noch dazu gelernt!
Für Einsteiger ist es dermaßen mit wertvollen Tipps versehen, ich wünschte, ich hätte es damals bei meinen Anfängen zur Seite gehabt.
Es wird ausführlich erklärt, warum das industriell gefertigte Futter als auch das gekochte Futter absolut null Nährwert haben, und somit für viele Krankheiten (wie Nieren, Leber, Haut, Herz, um nur einige zu nennen, die Liste ist leider endlos!)bei den Tieren sorgen.
Danach, nicht minder ausführlich, wird erklärt, was welche Vitamine bzw. Mineralien für den Hundekörper tun.
Anschließend geht es ins Eingemachte, was in welchen Mengen, was besser nicht etc. gefüttert werden soll.
Ich finde es nur schade, dass es bisher? keine deutsche Übersetzung gibt, aus welchen kommerziellen? Gründen (Lobby der Tierfuttermittelindustrie?)auch immer, denn hier hat man eine umfangreiche Information von quasi a bis z, sogar wie man schon Welpen mit Rohfütterung zu gesunden großen Hunden ernährt.
Einfach klasse!!
Obwohl aus dem Jahr 1993 ist dieses Buch immer noch superaktuell!
Vielen Dank, Herr Billinghurst. Aufgrund dieses Buches wage ich mich an die englischsprachigen Bücher von Frau Juliette de Bairacli Levy, da mir hier die angebotenen deutschen Bücher einfach zu teuer sind.

Billinghurst zeigt ins einem Buch auf, mit welchen Schwindeln die Hundefuttermittelproduzenten unsere Hunde vergiften, ihr Leben verkürzen und den Tierärzten die Taschen voll machen. In leichtem gut verständlichem Englsich gibt es zu allen Fragen Antwort, berät exzellent und unmißverständlich. Gäbe es mehr Menschen, die ihren Hund so füttern, würden die Partner wieder 15 jahre alt werden, und nicht an HD, Artritis, ... zu früh sterben.

Needs presentation improvements, but great reading
23. Oktober 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Dr Billinghurst's book indeed suffers from a pretty bad presentation and the Dr's tendency to be a little redundant, but let's face it : the information inside the book will hit like a freight train, anyone who has been feeding kibble for years thinking it was the right thing to do.
I was one of those, I am a University Professor and like to think of myself as rather smart, besides I have been competing and breeding rottweilers at the highest levels since 1995 and feel I know lots of things about dogs... and yet this book really pointed at how stupid and naive I had been, feeding my dogs industrial kibble and not seeing for what they were, the warning signs that my dogs needed something else.
I didn't hesitate for long after reading that book, I made the switch to Dr Billinghurst's BARF Diet and my dogs have never been so great !
There are probably better books in order to have details on feeding ammounts, precise meal suggestions, etc. But Dr Billinghurst's book is a great starting point because it will really change your outlook on dog feeding.

The groundbreaking B.A.R.F. book...
25. Oktober 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Yes, it is terribly written. It is also confusing - often contradicting information is presented. BUT this is the book that got tens of thousands of people taking a very hard look at how they have been feeding their dogs, and coming to the conclusion that a commercial diet is by far from the best choice, and in fact raw, natural foods are the best choice for dog nutrition.
For those curious about getting started in changing their dogs' diets, I would recommend Kymythy Schultze's "Ultimate Nutrition" and Carina MacDonald's "Raw Dog Food" before recommending Billinghurst's "GYDAB".
But I would buy this little book too, as it's surely the "Grand Daddy of them all."

Good and Bad
7. Dezember 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I found a boon with Dr. Billinghurst's book "Give Your Dog a Bone." I've been an advocate of home made meals for some years now. I knew dogs needed the calcium from bones. I thought it was enough to provide ground bone in their meals. I never anticipated that pets might derive satisfaction from doing what God intended them to. Rip, tear and crunch. My dog, up to that point, had been happily living on pooch meat patties I bought from the market. In this book, Dr. Billinghurst condemned these. He said they robbed a dog of satisfaction.
Made sense to me. My dog is a rescue. She has issues. She needed some satisfaction.
It was so funny giving her her first chicken wing. She had NO idea what to do with it. This really surprised me! She knew she wanted it. She whined and danced around the bone. She licked it and whined some more. My Persian, on the other hand, took to it like Jabba the Hutt.
In the past, she'd had taken only two or three minutes to wolf down her food. Sometimes she'd barf it right back up. Too much, too fast. But with the wings, she takes anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes to eat. She really enjoys her food. Often she makes little noises like a nursing puppy.
To top it off, she had an emotional break through as a result. As an abused dog, Honey had a lot of issues. Some manifested as her over eating. Some manifested as destructive behavior. After putting her on raw meaty bones (complimented with Orbee Tough toys during the day), these behaviors ended. Also, while she remains a very high energy pooch, she is no longer manic.
The sad ending to this story is that, I just discovered Dr. Billinghurst has sold out. I liked his book so much I went looking for more. Sadly, his third book advocates exactly what he condemns in his first book. Prefab doggie meat patties. I guess he smelled the profit factor.
While it's true that a dog can live a happy life on these patties, don't deny your dog the satisfaction of a raw meaty bone.
Also, I have an issue with Brewer's Yeast. If you won't give your pet by-products of a meat plant, why give them by-products of a brewery? Brewer's yeast is bitter and can cause gas. The alternative is often cheaper as well. Because the focus is health. Not making profit off of trash. "Nutritional yeast" is grown specifically for its nutrient qualities. It has a mild cheddar taste that both my dog and my cats love. You can sprinkle it on food or mix it with a little water and flax seed oil to make a yummy and nutritious sauce. As a side note, it goes great on popcorn.
