Because if I was going to change my perspective and recommendations towards pet parents based on this book, I wanted to be able to cite research papers as to WHY I changed my opinion. However, I approached the reading of this book a bit differently – highlighting and then cross-referencing recommendations to research studies. I picked up this book for similar reasons that most pet parents did – to see if I was missing something and if there was a place I could do more.

Becker’s first dog was negatively affected by prescription dry dog food (I don’t honestly know this full story, only what I’ve read briefly in various blog posts). Rodney’s first dog was almost killed during the 2007 melamine pet food recall by eating a kibbled product contaminated with a toxic substance. Both have seen the benefits of a raw, low carbohydrate diet for their dogs, and both have had experiences that were tragic with kibbled products.

It didn’t work – he was worse.Īfter a presentation at a veterinary conference by board-certified veterinary nutritionist Dr. When I used to work with wildlife and started to transition into small animal practice (aka dogs and cats) – I have to admit – their “Biologically Appropriate” verbiage spoke to me. I’ve always looked up to them and their ability to condense information into easy-to-learn formats. I’ve been a fan of both of these authors for years – before I even had my own dogs I was watching and reading their online content about nutrition.

The book has sold out on multiple occasions, is a New York Times Best Seller, is published in multiple different languages, and is widely accessible (at a low price point of just $28.99 USD – it’s much more affordable than other programs such as the Cancer Series $197 USD).
