| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Small Animal Medicine Specialty: Canine Nutrition and Dietetics DESCRIPTION ----------- Canine Nutrition, Food, Feeding and Function is an authoritative and comprehensive resource that addresses the fundamental principles and practical applications of canine nutritional science. This essential veterinary textbook provides evidence-based guidance on nutritional requirements throughout all life stages, therapeutic nutrition for disease management, and the physiological functions influenced by dietary components. Written for veterinary professionals who recognize that nutrition is a cornerstone of preventive medicine and clinical care, this text bridges the gap between nutritional biochemistry and practical feeding recommendations. The book delivers in-depth coverage of macronutrients and micronutrients, energy metabolism, digestive physiology, and the role of nutrition in maintaining optimal health and performance in dogs. It examines commercial pet food formulation, ingredient quality assessment, and regulatory standards, while also addressing specialized nutritional needs for working dogs, breeding animals, and geriatric patients. Clinical chapters focus on nutritional management of common canine diseases including obesity, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and food allergies. This resource equips veterinary professionals with the knowledge to make informed dietary recommendations, evaluate commercial diets critically, formulate home-prepared diets when indicated, and implement nutritional interventions as part of comprehensive treatment plans. With its practical approach grounded in current research, this textbook serves as both an educational foundation for students and a valuable clinical reference for practicing veterinarians.
