You can probably pick up a used copy of the old edition (4th edition) on eBay or Amazon or Half.com for a song. It was published in 2000, and every vet student gets a free copy. I'll warn you, though - it's a TON of info. Most vet students use it as a door stop - it's a big green boat anchor. I think I'm the only one in my class with a genuinely dog-eared copy. But then again, 1/3 of my textbooks are nutrition books. Here is a link for used copies...

In all honesty, there's probably way more info than necessary in there for most pet owners (unless they have an interest/specialty in biochemistry and physiology). For the individual who is interested in nutrition, with
out lots of extra training, I might recommend Nutrition for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses by Ann Wortinger. The info is pretty accurate, the author reputable, and her sources are well-cited.
