Product Description

What your dog wants to eat. If dogs could talk what would they say is the best food to keep them in tiptop condition? Would they recommend a selection of cans and kibble or would they recommend a fresh rabbit and half a chicken?

In Work Wonders: Feed your dog raw meaty bones Australian veterinarian Dr Tom Lonsdale inspires us to see a dog’s dietary needs from a dog’s perspective taking into account Nature’s teachings, easily understood science and sound common sense.

Work Wonders provides essential information for dogs and their owners, veterinarians, educators and anyone interested in dogs, diets and health. Eight entertaining and informative chapters lead you through the practical essentials of dog feeding including how to find sources of fresh, healthy meat as well as how to safely store and prepare a diet of raw meaty bones. It’s easier than you think!

Tom Lonsdale’s 2001 landmark book Raw Meaty Bones: Promote Health provides in-depth analysis of how commercial foods contribute to a range of pet illnesses including gum disease, immune disorders and cancer. Work Wonders is the ideal, practical sequel. Learn how easy it is to feed your dog what he really wants — raw meaty bones.

Review
What a magnificent piece of writing — it's real skill to write as simply and clearly as that. -- Mark O'Connor, www.australianpoet.com

From the Publisher
It’s the book every dog's been waiting for. Dog owners will be thrilled with the clear, entertaining style and cheeky illustrations that convey the information dogs have been trying to tell us for years.

From the Author
Sometimes a lucky coincidence or chance encounter helps throw new light on an old situation. That’s what happened to me. Finally, after five years at veterinary school and fifteen years as a qualified vet, I saw that processed foods do immense harm and natural foods work wonders for the health of dogs and other carnivores.

At first I was aghast at the magnitude of my mistake, but then was uplifted. Here was the answer to so many of the problems facing my patients.

If you own an adult dog that you feed on canned or packaged food, now is the time to make a change. If you have a young puppy then starting him or her on a more natural diet should work wonders.

Here’s wishing you and your canine companions the best of good health,

Tom Lonsdale

Customer Reviews

Work Wonders a must
I must have read a different book, judging by three of the reviews below. Comments such as "all he tells you is to feed big pieces of bone" - nowhere does Tom Lonsdale say that. What he does say is to feed large pieces of meat and bone, and whole carcasses (i.e. whole dead animals) wherever possible.

Comments that there is "nothing new" in the book - well, feeding as near to nature as possible isn't new, it's several thousand years old, so no, it's not new. Tom Lonsdale is the only honest author to set it out in simple terms, because that is what it is - simple! Regarding the quality of meat recommended - isn't it clear then, when he states "source food from human food suppliers"?

Far from being "a waste of money", Work Wonders is a tremendous aid to new raw feeders, as well as for those of us who have been feeding this way for several years. The book gently leads the reader through getting started, quality, quantity and frequency, through to risk management, a brilliant dentistry section and finally to the larger implications of feeding naturally - the effects on human health, the environment and the economy.

This book, along with Dr Lonsdale's seminal work Raw Meaty Bones, should be read by every dog owner. I just wish it had been around when I started feeding raw as it would have saved me making many mistakes and being misled by other "experts". It would also have SAVED me a fair bit of money!

Why veterinarians should ''Work Wonders''
Dr. Tom Lonsdale's newest book Work Wonders is a brilliant and easy to follow manual for any dog, cat or ferret owner on the why,how and when to feed raw meaty bones to their pets and the tremendous health benefits they will enjoy. The chapter on Dentistry Matters is excellent and overall this book is highly informative and makes it very clear that prevention will always be better than cure. Dr. Johan Joubert BVSc MRCVS

Great "How To" for feeding your pet
Thank you Dr. Lonsdale for writing this much needed book. It is the perfect follow up to Raw Meaty Bones Promote Health. It demonstrates just how easy it is to feed your dog the way nature intended. I would urge anyone who owns a dog, cat or ferret to buy and read both of Dr. Lonsdale's books, Raw Meaty Bones Promote Health and now Work Wonders.
