Reviews for Small Animal Nutrition

The section on hand rearing small furry pets is wonderful and, as far as I am aware, is not available elsewhere. People should buy this book for this part alone. Fred Nind, companion animal practitioner in Edinburgh. Former veterinary advisor for a major pet food manufacturer and former an examiner for the RCVS VN Scheme. light-hearted, easily 'digestible' read.. I am really enjoying it! Dot Creighton, Training Officer, Goddard Veterinary Group, London. chapter covering mathematics relating to energy I thought was particularly well covered. The calculations were easy to follow. Kersty Ellis, VN, Moulton College, Northampton.
