Soon I will be able to have you link to buy books I recommend right on this page! Until then, go to Amazon, or search your favorite used book store!
Books I have read and recommend:
1) FOOD PETS DIE FOR by Ann N. Martin.
(A great resource! Daunting and disturbing information on the pet food industry-what they do and how they do it–but a must-read for every pet owner!)
2) DR BECKER’S REAL FOOD FOR HEALTHY DOGS AND CATS. by Karen Becker DVM and Beth Taylor.
(guidelines and recipes for simple homemade meals, straightforward and well written.)
3) NATURAL NUTRITION FOR DOGS AND CATS by Kymythy R. Schlultze
(Cuts to the chase; recipe and nutritional guidelines, with lots of medical cases discussed.)
4) DR. PITCAIRN’S COMPLETE GUIDE TO NATURAL HEALTH FOR DOGS AND CATS. by Richard H Pitcairn, DVM, PhD
(Includes recipes, information on the pet food industry (as Food Pets Die For does) and has sections on homeopathic, holistic and alternative therapies. Great if you want to get as much info as you can in one book.)
5) THE NATURE OF ANIMAL HEALING by Martin Goldstein, DVM
(Great diet and holistic medicine guide combined. It also has a section of frequently seen health problems in our pets, and his outline approach for each.)
Not all of these books agree on everything, nor do I agree with everything in each of them, but for the most part they are great resources and I agree with >90% of what I read. Also, I learned a LOT that wasn’t taught in Veterinary School.
