 Natural Food Recipes for Healthy Dogs April 28, 2001
12 out of 16 found this review helpful
Author Carol Boyle has very little to offer anyone who is seeking a well-balanced nutrional diet for dogs. Her knowledge of dog nutrition is very close to zero with offerings such as "Hummus with Red Peppers" and "Eggplant Parmesan". Basically, this is a recipe book comprised entirely of the stuff that Carol Boyle and her husband eat: mashed potatoes, braised cabbage, and cheesecake. No kidding! And, that's the "dog diet" you're going to get if you waste any money on this silly book.
How is cooked food NATURAL for dogs???? April 9, 2001
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is the funniest book on dog food that I found so far! (The only problem is, they don't intent to be funny) Though some of the recipes might be good I have a very hard time buying into the idea that dogs have to have COOKED food! Strange concept for me - thinking about where dogs come from and thinking they need cooked food! That doesn't even sound 'natural' for me. Any other book I read is in contrast to the idea of only feeding cooked food to the dogs.
 Use as a guide to supplement your dog's regular food. March 16, 2001

This book is good if you want to add variety to your dog's diet-which I do, that is why I purchased the book. But be careful, the recipes call for onions which my vet said are toxic to dogs.

The Animal Posion Control Center has listed Onion and onion powder as a food to avoid giving your dog. This book uses onions in its recipes. In fact, one of them, Crock Pot Stew page 49, calls for a whole onion in the recipe!!! This could kill a small dog. I should have seen the problem on page 7 when the author wrote: "I do not consider myself an expert of canine nutrition. All of my evidence is anecdotal, from personal experience, over a period of time. And although I have no formal training in canine nutrition, I am a great reader, a great observer and I have an open mind." How scary is this?
 Loved the book. March 7, 2000

Carol's common sense approach to canine nutrition is a must read for the discerning dog owner. Carol's sound advise and easy to follow recipes provide a healthy supplement designed to compliment your pets existing diet. By reading Carol's book, you will learn the first steps to putting your pet on the road to a longer, happier, and healthier life. Carol's recipes will intice the pallet of any dog, from the young at heart puppy to the ever loving couch potato senior. Her book is more than just recipes, it's knowledge and experience from which dog owners everywhere will benefit. It also answers most of the questions that other books fail to address. Buy it!
