Dog Food on the WILD Side!
Raw feeding is the hottest topic in dog care today. You may have heard about the “BARF” diet—Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods. Learn why and how to feed your dog this new (but really OLD) diet.
Dog owners are asking how they can feed their canine pal like their wild ancestors—uncooked, unprocessed, RAW meat, bones and veggies--instead of those boring “kibble krunchies”.
Raw Dog Food: Make It Easy for You and Your Dog explains in simple, friendly and understandable terms the logic behind this approach. Author Carina MacDonald, in this fun and slightly irreverent book, shows you how feeding your dog a raw diet can be effective, economical, and easy for you, and healthy for your dog.
Learn how to make it work for your dog…and you!
Why feed raw?
Buy the ingredients in any grocery store.
Simple, time-saving production techniques.
How to switch from kibble to raw.
How to feed any size dog, at any age.
What reviewers are saying...
This is a useful and very user-friendly primer on practical ways to feed dogs raw foods.
Dr. W. Jean Dodds, DVM, Lecturer, Canine Health Expert
Her easygoing writing style makes this an enjoyable and educational tale. A self proclaimed fanatic when it comes to her dogs’ health, she dove into the raw food debate and did her own research, which led to her conversion to this eating program.
For anyone considering this dietary approach, MacDonald provides a good starting point.
Terry Peters, reviewer, North Shore News, Vancouver B.C.
Food can be fun and if you like to laugh in the kitchen, you'll enjoy the raw humor in this book.
Kymythy R. Schultze, CCN, AHI author of Ultimate Diet: Natural Nutrition For Dogs and Cats
First impressions of the presentation and style are entirely favourable. I think Carina has advanced the cause of raw feeding and dog owners will like the book.
Tom Lonsdale DVM, author of Raw Meaty Bones
Just finished reading Carina's book and am impressed. I have been feeding raw for over five years and can identify with the struggle people go through when first starting to feed raw. Carina's book is excellent for someone changing to raw. It gives good advice, menus to follow, innovative ideas and a sense of confidence that will certainly be helpful to the first time raw feeder. Wish it had been available when I started feeding raw.
Carol Burke, Breeder, Darrlburg Rottweilers
Carina (MacDonald) has taken the mystery and confusion out of raw feeding with her book Raw Dog Food. Make It Easy For You and Your Dog. This is a great reference for anybody new to feeding raw, and it's especially helpful for anyone who is intimidated by the whole idea. Carina's direct, refreshing style makes for easy reading, and her straight-forward advice and menu ideas will make feeding raw a piece of cake!
Linda Walker, Breeder, Sunapee Akitas
DOG WORLD
“Over the past decade or so, some dog owners have adopted the practice of feeding their dogs’ raw food… MacDonald is not a veterinarian or expert in canine nutrition. She’s an informed dog owner who wrote the book that she wishes had been available when she started out feeding raw… The strength of this book is it’s friendly, “been there, done that” approach… This book provides a reassuring, practical, and attainable approach to feeding raw. MacDonald writes with an earthy tone, using humor and empathy to convey her message that feeding raw can benefit your dog and doesn’t have to be complicated or scary.”

| Great raw food (BARF) diet book!, September 3, 2003 |
| Reviewer: Corinne Stewart |
| This book is a straight-forward, easy read! It gives great information on how to feed a raw food diet without perpetually bashing processed commercial dog food. The book is well written and often humorous. In addition, the book is well organized and makes a great reference. If you're nervous about feeding a raw food diet, this is the book to read. |

| A great book from an experienced , September 3, 2003 |
| Reviewer: Robbie Countryman |
| Carina has written a wonderful book for the slightly nervous (or downright panicky) dog owner that wants to do what is best for their pet. I have fed mine raw for a year and a half and her book just reassures me that I am on the right track. A great read. Better than tv fer shure. Carina's writing style is very readable. More like a friendly discussion with lots of pointers to keep your head straight. Loved it! I will be buying copies to give to my family members who have dogs. |

| This book will go on my , September 10, 2003 |
| Reviewer: Kathy Benda |
I have been feeding a raw diet to my performance dogs for the past three years, and “Raw Dog Food – Make It Easy,” will go on my list of the ones I recommend most. This book sensibly and sanely puts to rest the biggest fears most people express to me--that raw feeding is difficult, complicated, risky and is best left to professionals.
Carina MacDonald provides the reader with simple, easy directives, resources for supplies and further information, and common-sense (sometimes humorous) solutions to most of the problems a beginner may encounter. I only wish this book had been available when I first started feeding raw! |

| I am recommending this..., October 24, 2003 |
| Reviewer: Chris James |
Even though I've been feeding my dog raw for almost three years, I still found some great tips here - and I laughed aloud several times while reading it. It only took me about an hour to read, and it's very informative. It's not a book to read if you want authoritative information of canine nutrition (there's other books for that), but a great, basic primer on feeding a fresh food diet.
The photographs were fun too. Including the one of poop. |

| Raw Dog Food Make It Easy for You and Your Dog, March 2, 2004 |
| Reviewer: Peggi Lorenz |
I just got this book and read right through it. Finally someone with a sense of humor. Carina gave some very practical advice. She was clear if I don't do everything exactly right everyday, it won't hurt my dogs. I have an Australian Cattledog and a Pug; what a pair. They are so different and it gave me alot of ideas on how to get them to eat all the good stuff.
It is a fun book to read also. |

| Down to earth & informative., April 8, 2004 |
| Reviewer: Gina Wilkes |
This is the book I plan to hand out to my new puppy buyers. Our shelter also has a copy for reference, since we get get clients asking us about the BARF diet.
Highly recommended. |

| Makes it Easy for Raw Feeding Beginners, July 22, 2006 |
| Reviewer: working_dogz |
| I'd considered feeding a raw diet for a long time, but had always been intimidated by being able to balance the nutrition, plus all the food preparation. This book makes it easy to understand, plus is quite entertaining to read. I've been feeding a raw diet for several months now, and the results are fantastic! Thanks Carina for a great book! |

| Easy-Peasey!, July 11, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Amy Rogers |
| I bought this book when my Collie/Malamute mix was diagnosed with food sensitivities and I first discovered the Dogwise website and forums. Carina makes feeding raw simple. She demystifies the practice and conveys the information in terms anyone can understand. Combine that with humorous tales and you'll find it's a delight to read on it's own! |

| One item is Missing, June 8, 2008 |
| Reviewer: FL Meat Grinder |
| I thought the book was easy to read and very enjoyable. As i have been preparing raw meat diets for my dogs for nearly 20 yrs now, just one point of advice in addition, that of safety of frozen raw meats (for dogs, and humans too for that matter) in the home freezer. Due to all the power cuts with brownouts and storms in FL and other states, I installed an inexpensive little life saver of a device called a defrost detector which will alert me if my food defrosted and spoiled and then refroze while I was away from home with my dogs on vacation (we do a lot of RV'ing). I bought it on www.defrostdetector.com , I just wanted to add this one missed item of concern. Again, a really nice book, enjoyed it a lot. Thanks. |
