This volume, which replaces the 1974 edition, provides from current published sources a summary of the minimum dietary requirements of essential nutrients for dogs. Common signs of deficiencies and toxicity are discussed, along with the criteria for arriving at energy and nutrient requirements. The new edition contains recommendations for available nutrient content of representative commercial dog foods expressed on the basis of metabolizable energy content, which should lead to greater uniformity in the nutritional adequacy of foods with varying caloric density and facilitate meaningful comparisons of such products.
