Presenting easy-to-follow recipes that can be prepared at home, this new edition of Donald Strombeck’s classic handbook has been completely rewritten by new author Patricia A.

Baking soda comes in two forms: sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate. The sodium bicarbonate version is widely available as “baking soda” and is commonly used in baking, but none of the recipes in this book use it as an ingredient.  The calcium carbonate version of baking soda is sometimes sold as “baking soda substitute” and sometimes referred to as simply “baking soda.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo avoid confusing sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, any time the calcium carbonate type of baking soda has been used in a diet in this book, the ingredient includes the specific term “calcium carbonate.”  There are several manufacturers of calcium carbonate baking soda; for example, Amazon carries the Ener-G Foods product baking soda substitute. Calcium carbonate can also be sold for garden use, which is non-food-grade, so to avoid the use of the garden product in foods, the term “baking soda” was used in this book instead to indicate that readers should be sure to select a food-appropriate ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I Nutrition and Dietary Management 3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Homemade Diets 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Food Safety 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Nutrients 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Canine and Feline Energy Requirements 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Feeding the Healthy Adult Dog or Cat 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Feeding the Puppy or Kitten 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Feeding the Pregnant or Lactating Dog or Cat 103\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Feeding the Senior Pet 113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Feeding the Performance Dog 119\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Food Intolerance and Allergy 129\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Obesity 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Skeletal and Joint Diseases 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13 Diet and Gastrointestinal Disease 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14 Diet and Chronic Renal Disease 181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15 Diet and Urinary Tract Stones 195\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16 Diet and Skin Disease 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17 Diet and Endocrine Disease 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18 Diet and Heart Disease 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 19 Diet and Pancreatic Disease 237\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 20 Diet and Hepatic Disease 243\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 21 Diet and Cancer 255\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection II Home-Prepared Diets 265\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTools Needed 265\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoosing a Diet 265\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreparing Diets 267\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDog Diet Recipes 269\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDog Diets 277\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCat Diet Recipes 433\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCat Diets 438\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1 Dog Diets by Protein Source 507\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2 Cat Diets by Protein Source 513\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 517\u003c\/p\u003e  \"It is my opinion that this is a must for the veterinary practice's reference library.\" (National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America , 2011)  \u003cp\u003e\"The second edition provides a more clinical approach to feeding dogs and cats than does the original textbook and could serve as a starting reference for nutritional management of disease.\" (\u003ci\u003eJournal of the American Veterinary Medical Association\u003c\/i\u003e, December 2010)\"From feeding puppies and kittens or pregnant animals to handling the nutritional needs of performance dogs, this new edition has been completely rewritten for the latest nutritional recommendations and is a 'must' for not only vet libraries, but general collections and pet owner reference.\" (\u003ci\u003eMidwest Book Review,\u003c\/i\u003e July 2010)  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Presents important concepts in the nutrition of healthy pets and special considerations for pets with various medical conditions and an extensive listing of recipes for home preparation.
