Editorial Review:

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.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - written with expert advice
I'm not sure that these recipes are really meant for as a complete diet rather than just as treats, but they were written with the help of Dr. Lowell Ackerman (a vet who has written a canine nutrition book) and Rebecca Remillard DVM, Ph.D (a board-certified veterinary nutritionist at Angell Animal Medical Center).



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - unbalanced
I was very excited to get a cook book that I could start making my own fresh dog food. But in speaking with my vet, I now understood what type of research goes into Dog Cookbooks. It was actually scary that really not much research has been done. In fact we may cook dog food, but it is not balanced. These books do not show that dogs need bone meal, or vitamins. The Dog food cooks books are more for human enjoyment than actual nutrition for our canine loves.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - probably not vet-approved
Ok, a few of these recipes are good and very healthy for dogs.
But others contain ingredients that will certainly make your dogs sick. Another reviewer already pointed out that some recipes contain rice. While rice isn't something dogs would eat in the wild, most commercial dog foods contain rice and it's not harmful.
However, dogs are lactose-intolerant once they are adults, so any recipe calling for cheese is a no-no.
Also, some recipes call for onions or garlic. Alliums are ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I thought it was excellent
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gotta love books!
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 ... Read More
