This comprehensive guide provides diet and feeding recommendations for both healthy and sick animals. Recommendations are based on a physical and nutritional assessment of the patient, and the wishes and abilities of clients. Suggested dietary interventions are assessed based on indications, possible adverse reactions, contradictions, and ongoing evaluation. The book also raises questions concerning the appropriateness of various commercial foods, assesses the validity of advertising claims, and addresses requests for recipes for home-made foods. The ultimate goal is to sustain the nutritional health of pets without adversely affecting the quality of the bond between clients and their pets. The coverage extends to dogs, cats, and basic exotic pets.

The Manual of Veterinary Dietetics has been produced by a team of authors with profound veterinary and nutritional knowledge. It is a comprehensive guide to diet for healthy and diseased pet animals and does not restrict itself to commercial diets and indeed looks carefully at advertising claims, noting the paucity of evidence behind some of these. The authors note in their preface that they have chosen to present information in a different way to most pet nutrition books, becasue they intend to help practioners, technicians and students, to help owners with their worries, rather than teach nutrition. This is clear from the opening pages and the book is eminently successful in its aim. Much can be learnt here, even by those who are already experienced practitioners, as the advice extends beyond the nutritional consultation. - Edward Chandler, The Animal Health Trust
