Product Description
Lots of people enjoy making or buying treats for their pets, but wouldn't it be wonderful to cook a real meal for the four-legged member of the household? Quirky yet practical, these cookbooks provide recipes that are nutritionally balanced and veterinarian-approved. They even include sections on "tandem" recipes - recipes for humans that, with slight modifications, can also be served to pets. REAL FOOD FOR DOGS is written by Arden Moore, the first non-veterinarian to write the pet column for Prevention magazine.

 I thought it was excellent June 25, 2008
My dog has ulcerative colitis and even with the most expensive commercial dog foods, she was having trouble. I bought several cook books for dogs and most had a lot of info that I didn't want to buy, I just needed some good recipes. I found a couple in this book that work great. She loves the food and it's obvious she feels better since I began cooking for her. Yeah, it's more expensive than buying canned, but the lesser cost for vet bills override any extra expense.
Gotta love books! June 22, 2008
I love this book too! Four months before the commercial dog food scare last year, I had begun to make my two boys' food at home. I read the ingredients in a popular bag of dry and canned dog food and was disgusted with all of the chemical/additives that they contained. I went online to find safe recipes for homemade dog food, making sure that my dogs received the correct portions and nutrients. I decided I needed some cook books for my boys, so I bought two from Amazon. This one has vegetarian style and meat filled recipes. It also has recipes for treats and special meals. 90% of the recipes are grocery items that you already have at home, "real food" as the title suggests. One of the best parts in the book are the nuggets of helpful hints about care, dangerous foods, and nutritional info etc. found scattered throughout. My boys can't wait for me to try these new recipes on them.
 No Rice For Dogs! April 27, 2008

Simply stated, dogs are carnivores. They would never eat rice or wheat or cheese{!} in the wild. I advocate for home made diets but not anything with grains. You could be making your dog just as sick. Don't feed grains!
 real beginnings April 14, 2008
Finally, a decent book on real food for dogs! It is a good start on the proper way to feed your dog meat and veggies. Within a week, my dogs stopped scratching from the alergies from dog food. I recommend this book to anyone who wants real food for their pets.

This book isn't exactly what I thought it would be...its really just a cookbook. It has some basic and some complex recipes - most of which would be for special occasions or maybe doable if your only cooking for small dogs (that don't eat that much)(I have 2 big dogs and most of these recipes are not feasible on a budget.) There are a few tips about dog health and nutrition but this is not a good guide for that. I recomend you use it as a cookbook companion to "The nature of animal healing."
