Give Your Dog a Bone
by Dr. Ian Billinghurst -
This is the classic that started the Bones and Raw Foods (BARF) movement. The theory is to transition the dog back to a diet that is in keeping with the natural canid diet. The diet is primarily raw meat, bones (which evidently are safe if not cooked) and ground veggies, along with some supplements. Very little grain or cereals are added. This book is very detailed for the person who is serious about nutrition.
