The National Academies Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources (BANR) recently announced the pre-publication release of Nutrient Requirements of Cats and Dogs, "the latest in BANR's respected series on domestic animal nutrition." Readers are invited to check out free "tidbits" from the 500-page report in this Web site -- the full report is available for a substantial sum. Fortunately, the tidbits are fairly substantial as well and cover a range of nutrition-related topics for both cats and dogs.
