NO COLOURS THOUGH.

Great if you want to do a full study of animal nutrition. But if you are just wanting some basic information it’s a lot of information to shuffle through to find what you are looking for.

I worked on this book - Updated 3 chapters (Inherited Disorders of Nutrient Metabolism, Dietary Management of Urolithiasis, and Nutritionally Responsive Dermatoses).

I borrowed this book from the library just to read up on diet and the skin. It has some good information to offer. Well written for vet tech/vet classes.

Seriously academic though the chapter on reading pet food labels was awesome.
