Nice book

This is a very nice hardback book.

The Ultimate Dog Treat Cookbook

This is a excellant cookbook. I have had this cook book for 2 years. I have had made almost every recipe.They were all good ! the best judge was my 3 year old mini Dachshund, Nikki. He drooled over all of them ! Because I cook alot, I did not think the recipes were all that difficult. As for the ingridients, I just put them on my shopping list.Because I have been doing this for awhile I have alot of the ingridients on hand. All I can say is make a recipe and see if your dog loves them. BTW,these recipes were approved by my vet. Nikki is healthy, active and normal weight. I also make my own dog food. Thanks, Georgia :)

Homemade delights for your canine friends

With the tainted pet food scare we diligently searched for a solution for out pets. This book has been a godsend. We will no longer feed store bought treats! We have tried about 6 recipes from the book. Our dogs loved them all. They are relatively easy to make and the ingredients are easy to find in your local supermarket. Now you can put your mind at ease knowing your pet is getting healthy treats. Human grade ingredients not sub par leftovers. The basic bones and their variations are a wonderful alternative to store bought treats. The chicken soup cookies were a cinch to make and a huge hit with our canine friends. If you are looking for that one special cook book for your pets this is it. It even covers special occasion treats. You'll want to share this with all your pet loving friends.

Yummy Treats for Your Favorite Doggie

I love to browse through different cookbooks. I have quite a collection, and usually go to the library to find new recipes to try before I decide to purchase the entire book. I normally look for 3 things in a cookbook, besides delicious recipes that will work for my family (including my dogs). This includes: 1) Pictures of more than ¾ of the recipes (Color pictures are the best) 2) A spiral binding, or at least on that easily lays flat 3) New & innovative recipes that have ingredients I can easily find at a grocery store For this book, I combined my love of my three dogs, with my interest in fun, interesting cookbooks. The recipes are great, and I love that the book includes a chapter for dogs with special needs (allergies to certain food products) as I have a dog that is allergic to both corn and wheat. The chapters include: Cookies by the Spoonful, Cookie-Cutter Treats, Special Goodies for Special Occasions, Good Dogs Deserve Good Treats, and Delicacies for Dogs with Special Needs. The only thing that I disliked about the book is that there are no actual photographs of the finished recipes, and was not in a binding that laid flat. Otherwise, this is a wonderful cookbook with recipes that should leave any dog and their human begging for more great recipes. Some of dog's favorites include: Tummy Tempting Chicken Soup Cookies, Ginny's Bonanza Treats, Carrot Crunchies, Turkey Day Treats, Grain Free Goodies, and Beef and Barley Biscuits. Enjoy!

Cute book, good treats, saves steps

This is a cute book with a nice variety of treats to make for your dog. The extra nice part is the fact that it fast tracks you to getting the treats made. It doesn't really take you down to making them completely from scratch in all cases, but rather tells you what to get at the store to make treats out of. Instead of telling you start with wheat flour and eggs and water and mix, blah, blah, blah. It tells you "2 cups of Cheerios or Kashi cereal" or "2 cups of dry dog kibble, crushed" and a lot start with varities of Bisquick or Jiffy muffin mixes. This is a nice time saver for all of us who want to make treats for our pets but don't have all day to roll out dough and do it all truly from scratch. Don't worry, there's still enough that you'll need to add that you won't feel like you're just buying dog biscuits at the store.

Must Have This Book

If you are interested in making your own dog cookies, this is the book for you!! The recipes are easy, and my 5 yr. old chocolate lab is waiting for them to come out of the oven. No need to ask him twice if he wants a cookie!
