Summary:

If cats and dogs could write an instruction manual for their humans, Health and Nutrition for Dogs and Cats would be the result. While many cat and dog lovers want to feed and care for their pets as best they can, finding information on how to do it is often difficult or confusing. This book sets out guidelines for feeding your pet, helps explain factors that contribute to a good (or bad) diet, and the ways in which people can help their dogs or cats maintain good overall health.
