 Painlessly educational September 2, 2008

The book is enjoyable to read and it is apparent that the authors have researched the topic and experimented with the results of following good diets for dogs. I would recommend the book.
A good doggy cookbook. August 8, 2008
L. K. Harris (USA)
As someone who has cooked for my dog for years now I appreciate the simplicity of the recipes in this book and especially like that fact that the author occasionally shares a meal with his dog. The ingredients are not hard to find and even a dog with allergies can find good food between the pages.
 Stay away from this book! July 10, 2008

This book has several recipes in it for different weight dogs. Most of them have some sort of wheat and/or corn products in them. Any of you who are trying to feed your dog good food will know that many dog are allergic to wheat and corn. I tried one recipe for one serving for my 10 pound dog and it made so much that it fed my two 10 pound dogs and my 25 pound dog for 3 meals, and they didn't really like it to begin with.
 Great nutrition and sound advice May 15, 2008

I liked the nutrition information in this book and the recipes have everything for a healthy dog. I found most of the recipes too complicated--I did not want to cook gourmet meals for my dogs. The recipes are for a specific weight. I have two dogs: 50 lbs and 100 lbs. It was hard to make one recipe for both. I took the ideas of the recipes and make my own. I tried taking the fresh veg/fruit in the blender and my dogs did not like it. I cook the fruit/veg together with meat and they look the food!
Great For The Finicky Eater May 8, 2008

I bought this book some time ago and use it often. I found it easy to use and very complete. Good recipes for the finicky eater and most importantly healthy for them!! This is not in the book but something to consider as to why we should feed our pets home cooked foods. Before the end of WW2 and the start of commercial dog foods, dogs where fed from the table eating most what we humans eat. Back then dogs lived well into their 20's. Now if they live to 10, 12 years it's concidered old!! Something to think about as we feed our dogs commercial foods and vaccinated the heck out of them!
