I really wanted to like this book, because I love Ed and Leerburg. Unfortunately a few pages in and I see that the author of this book is telling people that it is okay to feed your dog garlic. Garlic is toxic to dogs, one quick google will tell you that. I expected more out of a book that is suggested under Leerburg.

I've read just about all the other raw feeding books, but this is the one I NEEDED to read to start out! I've used it as my main guide to feed my three dogs "real food." I've now been feeding this way since October 2003 and my dogs couldn't be doing better. My oldest dog is a Labrador, about 8 years old. She's lost 15lbs and has more energy than ever. My other dogs are two Beagles, 2 yrs and 6 yrs old. They're also doing great and LOVE their new diet!!! And I got a new kitten for Christmas who keeps stealing the dog's food, so I guess she likes it too!

The book is easy and quick to read, but has a ton of really practical tips and very clear instructions. It made me realize this diet doesn't have to be complicated, it just makes sense! I had some additional questions about things that weren't in the book so I contacted the author through her website and she was very prompt and helpful.

I bought some extra copies to give to friends, too. Hopefully I can persuade them to start feeding their dogs a better diet too!
