 Dr.
Billinghurst's most important piece of writing is the book “Give
Your Dog a Bone.” Because cats and dogs have
different food requirements, (cats are obligate carnivores
while dogs are omnivores with a carnivorous background),
he decided they each needed their own book, and that he would
write the dog book first. Thus was born “Give Your Dog
a Bone.” This book was launched at a 3 day Bichon Frise
conference in western Sydney on the 17th November 1993. The
book was advertised in all the canine breeder magazines throughout
Australia.
“Give Your
Dog a Bone” proved an instant hit, with many
breeders adopting its ideas. Since that time it has been
making steady inroads into the minds of breeders and dog
owners throughout Australia and overseas. To date nearly
fifty thousand copies of this book have been sold.
“Give Your
Dog a Bone” is the book that began the worldwide
BARF dietary revolution for pets and remains 'the book'
to read on the subject of BARF. It remains the practical
common sense way to feed any dog for a long healthy life.
It is the only book available that deals
exclusively with feeding dogs their natural or evolutionary
diet. This book contains vital information for all dog owners.
It is a must for the owners of new puppies. Its 320 pages
are packed with practical authoritative dog feeding advice
that will drastically reduce vet bills. It shows that a dog’s
diet, which is based on raw meaty bones, is simple to produce,
promotes health and is inexpensive.
“Give Your
Dog a Bone” explains why processed foods are
the major cause of growth, reproductive, dental and most
of the degenerative diseases including problems such as
cancer, diabetes, arthritis, kidney failure, cardiac disease,
the auto-immune diseases etc.
The subjects covered include:
- Modern dog feeding myths
- The question of cooked or raw foods
- Your dog’s enemy, commercial processed dog foods
- The common problems associated with home produced food
- Basic nutrition
- Bones as dog food
- Offal as dog food

This book has changed the thinking of tens
of thousands of people worldwide. More importantly, it has
in most instances improved the health of these people’s
dogs. Many of these people now look to Dr. Billinghurst as
'the authority' on feeding pet carnivores their evolutionary
diet. Some say that “Give Your
Dog a Bone” has become their “Bible.”
"Give Your
Dog a Bone" is essential background reading
for Dr. Billinghurst's second book “Grow

 This
is the second in a series of books that deal with feeding
companion animals for maximum health. It is the breeders
and puppy owners supplement to “Give
Your Dog a Bone.”
The mission of “Grow
Your Pups With Bones" is firstly, to show dog
breeders how easy it is to produce healthy pups without
the problems so many breeders experience. Secondly it aims
to show how easy it is to grow those pups into healthy
adults with a sound skeletal system.
"Grow Your
Pups with Bones" is divided into three parts.
The first part introduces the Bones And Raw
Food (‘BARF’) diet for feeding dogs. The BARF diet
is a simplified and more prescriptive version of the diet
outlined in Give Your Dog a Bone. It is the basis of the
dietary guidelines outlined in the remainder of the book.
The subjects covered include:
- What is the BARF diet?
- Is the BARF diet suitable for growing and breeding dogs?
- What are the nutrients that support growth?
- What you will need to produce the BARF diet?
The second part deals with feeding for breeding.
The BARF diet is central to this healthy pup-producing program.
The subjects covered include:
- Basic nutrition for him her and the kids
- Before breeding you must start with healthy dogs
- Breeding secrets - believe some, ignore others.
- What do we feed her during pregnancy?
- The whelping box
- Eclampsia or milk fever
- Feeding the lactating bitch
- Weaning the puppies
- Orphan puppy care
The third part is about growing pups into
healthy adults without producing bone problems such as Hip
or Elbow Dysplasia. Once again the BARF diet plays a central
role. The subjects covered include all the common and many
of the not so common bone problems that may be seen in young
dogs by breeders and owners.
The basic theme of this book – the BARF
diet – is that dogs are far healthier, reproduce better
and grow straighter without bone problems if fed their biologically
appropriate diet based on raw meaty bones.

 "THE
BARF DIET" is a useful primer for the beginning BARFer.
However, it also contains much new information, making it
a valuable addition to the library of the experienced BARFer.
The target audience includes vets, breeders, trainers, pet
owners or any other person seeking to either understand or
expand their knowledge of evolutionary diets.
The early chapters cover the sound scientific
principles on which the evolutionary diet - the BARF diet
- is based and detail the enormous health benefits available
when animals are fed that way.
There is a chapter devoted to explaining
supplementation. There is another chapter, which details
the concept of, complete and balanced. This chapter is a
must for those people who believe that processed pet foods
fulfill the complete and balanced promise. There is a chapter
devoted to the vexed question of feeding bones and the fear
of bacteria in the BARF DIET.
In the second half of the book, there are
recipes and other highly relevant and practical information
to assist in the home production of BARF diets for both dogs
and cats. Included in this section is a Chapter on "Trouble-shooting" and
one on "Switching to BARF." This is the short practical
book on BARF that so many BARFers have asked for.
