Great For The Finicky Eater

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!

Worth Every Cent!

This book is a wealth of knowedge. I had recently purchased 3 other books of a like nature, but this is my favorite by far. I especially like the fact that the author is not suggesting that BARF (a raw meat diet) is the only way to go. Instead, options are explained - learn how to feed raw, learn how to prepare home cooked meals or at the very least learn how to feed the best quiality manufactured dog/cat foods. In addition, I learned about the importance of adding vitamins, minerals, probotics, etc. A few of my co-workers who have borrowed the book have returned it to me the next day since they ordered their own copy right away. This book is a must have for any pet owner who wants to learn how to feed their other family member better.

Well satisfied buyer

The book has been very helpful. My dog is eating mostly what we eat and she has never been healthier or happier acting. Her shedding has almost stoppped and no dandruff. I do feed her California Natural for supplemental purposes. What a happy dog. I couldn't believe what they put in many processed dog foods on the market. Horrors!

Simple but complete recipes

This book is easy to read and simple to use, but has all the good information you need to cook for your dog. They even break up the recipes based on the weight of your dog so you don't have to figure it out yourself. There is a basic nutrition breakdown for each recipe. Once you know what you're doing, you'll probably want to get some more complicated books about canine nutrition to start making up your own recipes; but this is a great book to get you started.
