 Fatal Flaw - no serving sizes. May 1, 2007
20 out of 22 found this review helpful
Some good treats in here, but if you want to feed your dog from this recipe book, you'll need to prepare a meal, then burn it in a calorimeter so you can find out how many calories that meal has - then you'll need to find out how many calories a day your dog needs. The best way to find that information would be to look on the side of a bag of dog food I guess.
Seriously, how can you make a cookbook for dogs and not include suggested serving sizes for the recipes based on the dog's weight and age?
Ultimately, that makes this book useless for anything other than novelty treats and an occasional cooked meal. You can't put together a realistic diet for your dog from this book.

I received my copy of Real Food for Dogs a few days ago and I'm very disappointed in it. I'm slowly changing my kitchen to one that is organic and healthy and I must say, this book is neither of those. I was surprised that they recommend white flour, white rice, salt , baby food and even canned cream of mushroom soup! Veterinarian approved? Who are these guys kidding? These recipes have very little nutritional value and I would be concerned about feeding my dog this way on a regular basis. I don't feed my family this stuff and I certainly wouldn't feed my dog this way. I'm waiting for another book to arrive and until then I'm modifying these recipes with healthy ingredients that I've found through research on the web - things like brown rice, flax seed, barley and the like. I use the recipes as guides to give me an idea of the percentage of meat/vegie/whole grains I should combine for my dog's food. Other than that, this book is a joke. I would not recommend it.

Thank God for this book. It seems we see more and more bad news about the pet food recall on television every day. Maybe it's time we all started preparing the food for our pets at home. At least that way we know our beloved pets will be safe.

MORE cheese, please! April 9, 2007

When all the news started about the dog food problem, I was so glad I'd purchased Arden Moore's book. My "fur children" LOVE the 'Say Cheese, Please" treats from REAL FOOD FOR DOGS. I've tried other recipes from this book and they've all been given the 'Paws of Approval.'

I love my dog. With this commercial pet food scare, I knew I had to take this matter into my own hands. In doing so, I discovered Arden Moore's Real Food for Dogs book. Because her recipes were approved by a veterinary nutrtionist, I felt confident in serving these meals and treats to my dog. Plus, I like the fact that some of the recipes are fit for people, too! Now that I am using this book, my dog and I are eating healthy and the bond between us is closer than ever. I definitely recommend this book and all others written by Arden Moore. It is clear that she is an expert and truly cares about pets.
