If you compare his claims hostile to the actual sources of his “research”, you will find that much of it is absolutely taken out of context in order to support the top he is trying to make.
Lots of hype and no real facts. Outdated research.

No way does he establish credibility.. even as I reckon yes, there are probably small differences in feeding different breeds, feeding dogs of different breeds is not much different than feeding people of different nationalities! Dogs are still ALL dogs after all.
The lists of supplements are daunting: where would a person find all that stuff???
Just not worth the money and I would not take the opportunity on feeding my dog anything he says… I don’t see what makes him an authority on this theme.

Incredibly helpful book!
This book is an brilliant guideline to feed by breed!
All breeds have different nutritional requirements based on body type, occupation, and origin. This book shows what types of grains, meats and vegetation are best for each breed in addition to going over general nutritional in rank re: vitamins & minerals, protiens, carbohydrates, fatty acids, how & when to supplement, etc.
As an animal behaviorist and canine/feline clinical nutritionist I found this book to be an brilliant tool and valuable part of my canine library.

I plotting this book would give list of what foods to feed your dog. I also plotting that food brands would be listed and what was best for your dog would be covered. Neither were. There is a small section at the begining on vitamins, meats, etc and then about 10 sentences per dog breed for the remainder of the book. Too small in rank for my taste. This book did not tell me anything about what to feed my dog.

After reading this book I personally spoke with the author to get more detail. This purpose of this book is to make broadcast the scientific consequences of the food trials and research in question. It is not a how-to book that spoon feeds you in rank and defined notions. Dr. Cusick is addressing the causes of allergies and incompatiblities in the different ingredients that are given to each dog. The whole top is that there is NO one commercial food for all dogs. The in rank in this book is the result of many years of research and testing on all breeds. The topic of nutrition is so huge that one book can not cover it all. Excellent nutrition is not simple. I was largely ignorant about commercially prepared foods before reading this book. I didn’t know that corn and dried beet pulp are two of the most terrible allergens that are routinely place into prepackaged foods. There is only one commercial food that I know of that doesn’t control corn and that one brand only comes in one flavor so it is not best for all dogs. The author is trying to get the top across that each dog needs a specific meat (such as beef or venison) and even as some may be allergic to certain foods, others may not be. The whole top is that not only do English breeds eat differently that Asian breeds or Wolfdogs, but even within a breed, the diet must be specialized. Even as I am a proponent of feeding organic pure foods across the board, preferably home made diets, that is not the theme of this book. Once one understands that commercial foods are not only junk food but they are also not customized, then one will stop looking for someone to write a book reviewing dog food brands. That is like looking for some to write a book on quick food restaurants and to say which is the healthiest. None of them are!!! That is an uninformed expectation. One needs to use this book as a reference, go to your local free-range meat butcher (ordinarily at a health food store) and buy the ingredients listed for your breed. This is a book for those who know how to cook and who know how to use forums to learn the basics of cooking for a dog, including safe food handling course of action. Dr. Cusick is not trying to bias his work by giving plugs to the dog food industry. He is trying to say you have to custom prepare food for each dog. It is up to the reader to have the intuition to proceed further in their research.
