Product Description
Just as humans need to eat the right balance of protein, vegetables, and whole grains, so do dogs. But where do we find the time to cook special meals just for our pets when many of us struggle to feed ourselves healthfully? With The Dog Ate It, there s no need to prepare separate meals. Developed by an award-winning cookbook writer and a rancher, The Dog Ate It is the first cookbook with recipes designed for dogs and their owners to savor together, such as:
* Chow Bella Burger Bites, Beef Teriyappi, Sausage Cheese Grits, Growly Good Granola, Beggar s Purses, Cheddar Chomps, Sushi Hand Rolls, Dog-Friendly Salads, Chicken Soup, Adobo Chicken, Good Gravy, Turkey Meatballs, Lamb Shish Kebabs, Canine Kasha, North Carolina Pork Sandwiches, Roasted Pork Chops, Pekingese Duck, Mom s Macaroni and Cheese, and more!
* Treats and Desserts from the Barkery include: Pumpkin Craisin Muffins, Tarte Tatin, Bowser s Brownies, Carob Ganache, Coco Loco Bites, Counter Surfer s Cookies, Banana Mutt Bread, Barking Biscotti, and Peanut Butter Buddy Bones
With good nutrition guidelines for dogs of all sizes, a list of Doggie Diet Dos and Don ts, and what foods to have on hand so you can invent your own Fido-friendly recipes, The Dog Ate It is perfect for an occasional treat or for every night. You ll learn which commercial dog foods are healthy substitutes for home-cooked grub, and even how to throw the perfect pooch party for Howl-a-Ween, Canine Christmas (Fleas Navidad), or Bowser s birthday. Few pet parents can resist sneaking table scraps to their pups. The Dog Ate It takes this principle to a marvelous new, guilt-free level, with recipes that please the palates of every member of your household. BACKCOVER: When I realized that THE DOG ATE IT was about meals for bipeds and quadrupeds to share, I feared the worst, namely, that dogs were running the culinary show and that I would be expected not only to cook and eat homework, but to prepare and consume such canine favorites as desiccated pigs ears and rawhide chew strips, not to mention rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and other delicacies so fresh that they were still alive. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded. The recipes in this delectably eccentric cookbook are designed to delight dog lovers as well as the objects of their affection. Highly recommended!
Susan Conant, author of GAITS OF HEAVEN and other novels in the Holly Winter series of dog lover s mysteries

 Can't wait to cook! September 8, 2008
L. Guiher (Buffalo,NY)
I just bought this book at a local book store today and can't wait to make my dog some of these recipes! The Bowser's Birthday cake recipe will be a lot of fun. I found the book to also be very informative. And like one of the reviewers said, the book does mention that grapes and raisins are bad for dogs, so it was obviously a typo. But if you think a recipe is iffy then simply don't make it. I would recommend this book highly.

One copyeditor's mistake in turning craisins into raisins does not a bad book make. Please know that we understand dried cranberries are healthy - actually a part of several highly rated dry dog foods, and raisins are bad for dogs. But we hope you won't let this one mistake stop you from buying this book which Barbara Bradley and I wrote. My dogs are healthier than ever, and Barb's added three more pups to her cloud of white puff ball Bichons. We apologize for the mistake.

So Far So Good September 27, 2007

I recently purchased this book and just tried a few recipes from it. My 7-month old Wheaten Terrier puppy loves the biscotti and the cheesy-garlic biscuits. He will try the mac & cheese and the spaghetti tonight and I certainly think it smells great. I did not use the cayenne pepper, since I did not have it on-hand. As for the review below, the back of the book lists foods not to feed your dog in which grapes and raisins are listed, so perhaps the reviewer did not see this or did not see the for "humans only" which occurs throughout the book. I certainly don't think that you should choose just one cook book for your dog, instead read from each school of thought and remember you know your dog, so in the end you can provide the best nutrition for your pet.
 DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!! April 9, 2007

If the authors do not know that raisins and cayenne pepper are not good for dogs, they should not be writing cookbooks for dogs.
I had to put in one star, but I would make it a minus 100 if I could.
