From treats to meals this book has many different recipes for your furry family member! I only baked the treats, my dog loved all the treats I made. I didn't try any of the meals, but those also looked quite yummy!

Great book

[Tracy · Rating 2 out of 5]

this book needs a better editor. There were many instances where the metric/ imperial measurements weren't even close, 2 lbs is nowhere close to the same as 900kg, but 900g would have made sense. There were also sometimes ingredients listed in the instructions that were not listed in the ingredient list. The recipes made larger amounts which is usful for convinience. The book is good to have for a few recipes if you are interested in making snacks and meals for your dog, but would not be my first choice. I did find many of the snack recipes have large amounts of wheat flour, which many dogs have problems with.

Great treats and recipes for dogs. And, I've snacked on the treats, they work for people, too. The Fall Treats are going to be gifts for all the dogs on my list this Christmas. Makes the house smell good when you bake them.

there are only a few pages of treats in this book- a majority is for a home cooked diet. Its all recipes for mixtures of grains, meats, and vegetables to eat in place of kibble. This is great if you are doing a home cooked diet but since i am unable to do this, it wasn't as useful for me.

I salute people who prepare all the food their pets eat. I simply don't have the patience. I enjoyed the recipes in this book, though, and hope to make some of the treats for dog.
