Recognizing that optimal canine health extends beyond traditional medical treatment, this authoritative resource explores how behavioral patterns, dietary requirements, and physiological health interact to influence overall wellbeing. The text bridges the gap between behavioral science and clinical veterinary medicine, offering evidence-based insights into how nutrition affects behavior, how behavioral issues impact health outcomes, and how proper management of both contributes to disease prevention and treatment success. Updated with the latest research and clinical findings, this edition incorporates current understanding of canine ethology, advances in nutritional science, and contemporary approaches to preventive and therapeutic care. The book addresses common behavioral disorders, nutritional deficiencies and excesses, breed-specific health considerations, and life-stage appropriate care from puppyhood through geriatric years. Practical guidance on client communication and owner education ensures veterinarians can effectively translate complex scientific concepts into actionable recommendations for pet owners. Written by leading experts in veterinary behavior, nutrition, and internal medicine, this resource serves as both a clinical reference and educational text. The integrated approach helps practitioners recognize how behavioral problems may stem from nutritional imbalances, how dietary modifications can support behavioral therapy, and how both factors influence disease susceptibility and recovery. This holistic perspective is essential for modern veterinary practice where client expectations increasingly demand comprehensive, wellness-focused care.
