The global pet food industry continues to develop and expand, while the nutritional value of pets' diets is a subject of extensive debate. Authored by an independent expert and adopting a practical approach Companion Animal Foods and Nutrition takes a 'foods first' approach to companion animal nutrition. Nutrition topics are discussed with regard to species-specific requirements, the different life stages of pets, breed differences, and in the context of health issues such as diabetes. The book gives a historical background to the pet food industry and outlines the nutritive value of ingredients, and the features, benefits and drawbacks of the different processes used to produce pet foods and treats. Cats and dogs as well as other commonly kept pets are included in the coverage, and a wide range of pertinent topics are addressed including novel feeding practices, treats, supplements, homemade recipes, guidelines, labelling and merchandising. Offering an objective perspective the book is written for pet health professionals, pet care-providers, food and feed industry professionals, and students and researchers of foods and nutrition.
