Expanded Description:
Revised 2nd EDITION! K9 Kitchen is an indispensable guide to the facts every dog owner needs before making feeding decisions.
Cutting through the current myths that surround home-prepared canine diets, this book presents facts as well as respectful consideration to feeding each dog as an individual. We begin with basic information, moving toward a better understanding of the nutritional needs of dogs, and providing analysis of commonly fed raw meaty bones and green tripe. The book provides 60 diet plans (20 cooked, 20 raw and 20 combination diets), the NRC 2006 nutrient requirements for adult dogs, and a step-by-step guideline to help the reader formulate a balanced diet.
Debunks many of the myths surrounding canine diets by showing that each dog is an individual with unique nutritional requirements. Provides a starting point and then shows ways to modify diets for dogs with problems ranging from pickiness to chronic medical problems. Packed with facts and studies, but still contains simple advice for feeding the family dog. Case histories, also how to individualize a diet for your own dog!
"The goal of the book is to present you with facts that will help you arrive at the best feeding choice for your own dog, and to address a few of the many myths that are often presented as facts." -- Monica Segal, AHCW
"Once again, Monica Segal has taken on the many questions and controversies surrounding homemade and raw diets and beaten them. Her approach is well investigated, fair, and comprehensive. This is a must read for pet owners who need responsible information about homemade diets." -- Susan G. Wynn, DVM

| Reviewer: Stephanie Wesloh |
| An updated edition based on the most recent NRC recommendations will be released in mid to late 2008. I'm really interested in reading this book, but I'll wait for the new edition. |

| Reviewer: BT Mom |
| This is a great book for anyone wanting to begin feeding their dog a home cooked or raw diet. I have read a number of books, ranging from those with recipes of questionable quality to very technical veterinary school texts on this subject and the information can be very confusing to the dog owner. Monica Segal presents nutrition information and recipes in a concise, easy to read and understand format that makes it easy for the readerto begin a program of home cooking for their pet. My only complaint is that the recipes don't allow substitutions of ingredients (per the author), as I like to provide daily or weekly variety for my own dogs. |

| Confused by diet options? Get this book!, April 30, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Ann Dupuis / Your Dream Dog |
| This book is the best comprehensive introduction to home-prepared diets for dogs I’ve found to date. If you’re confused by the conflicting information out there on preparing your dog’s food yourself (ranging from “Don’t do it!” to “Feed them raw meaty bones like they’d be eating in the wild!”) this will help you sort it all out and decide what’s best for your individual dog. The author covers the pros and cons of several approaches to your dog’s diet, including feeding commercial pet food, supplementing commercial foods, preparing home-cooked foods for your dog, and feeding raw foods. |
