Grow Your Pups With Bones

This is the second in a series of books that deal with feeding companion animals for maximum health. It is the breeders and puppy owner's supplement to Give Your Dog a Bone.

The mission of Grow Your Pups With Bones is first, to show dog breeders how easy it is to produce healthy pups without the problems so many breeders experience. Second, it aims to show how easy it is to grow those pups into healthy adults with a sound skeletal system.

Grow Your Pups with Bones is divided into three parts:

The first part introduces the Bones And Raw Food "BARF" diet for feeding dogs. The BARF diet is a simplified and more prescriptive version of the diet outlined in my first book called "Give Your Dog a Bone". It is the basis of the dietary guidelines outlined in the remainder of the book. The subjects covered include -

What is the BARF diet?
Is the BARF diet suitable for growing and breeding dogs?
What are the nutrients that support growth? and;
What you will need to produce the BARF diet?

The second part deals with feeding for breeding. The BARF diet is central to this healthy pup-producing program. The subjects covered include -

Basic nutrition for him, her and the kids
Before breeding you must start with healthy dogs
Breeding secrets - believe some, ignore others.
What do we feed her during pregnancy?
The whelping box
Eclampsia or milk fever
Feeding the lactating bitch
Weaning the puppies, and;
Orphan puppy care.

The third part is about growing pups into healthy adults without producing bone problems such as Hip or Elbow Dysplasia. Once again, the BARF diet plays a central role. The subjects covered include all the common and many of the not so common bone problems that may be seen in young dogs by breeders and owners.

The basic theme of this book - the BARF diet - is that dogs are far healthier, reproduce better and grow straighter with no bone problems if fed their biologically appropriate diet based on raw meaty bones.
