In Search of Real Dog Food 1

This week I’d like to share with you a passage from a book we have found to be an absolute gem.  Allow me to introduce ‘Real food for dogs & cats – a practical guide to feeding your pet a balanced, natural diet’ by Dr. Clare Middle.  I have told many of you about this book but for those of you who haven’t had a chance to check out this compact and affordable read let me suggest it may become your ‘go to’ reference for canine nutrition.  It is written with insight and sensitivity . I would like to include several blogs over the next month to give you a few snippets and whet your reading appetite for Dr. Middle’s wonderful guide.

“Dogs are pack animals, not human children.

Humans and dogs can form amazing and beautiful bonds. Unfortunately, humans therefore tend to assume that dogs are more similar to themselves then they really are.  This anthropomorphisation of our pets can cause significant problems in the feeding and training of dogs.”
