I am very pleased with this book. It is in excellent condition for a used book. The shipping was very quick. I would definitely deal with this seller again in the future.
 Many Recipies August 14, 2007

This book has many recipies but it's very comparable to the Three Dog's Bakery Cookbook. Many of the recipies I probably wouldn't use due to the special ingredients, time, preparation, etc. It's good if you really, really pamper your dog. (My dog likes biscuits). Some people might worry about these types of treats or meals causing problems with dogs wanting to eat from your dinner table.

I suppose I could cook for my dogs on a regular basis, but I don't. This book has been extremely valuable to me, though, when I have a dog who has been very sick or through surgery and is refusing the regular fare. In such case I can always find a recipe here to tempt the appetite and bring them back from the edge. I credit the toasted sardine and cheese sandwich for saving Mac (gangrenous spot on the liver in 1991); and right now Kerby (cancer diagnosis and amputee) is willing to eat the gizzard and egg pie (I have several others marked, like potato and bacon stuffed hotdogs). The recipes are simple and economical, and include gravies, soups, and breakfasts, as well as special needs diets. The earlier review about onions is well noted, but I'm not sure that was anything people knew about when this book first came out. I would think the other review is bogus.
For those who may be at a loss at how to deal with post-surgical or disease related anorexia, I highly recommend this book.
Doggone Delicious!!!!! January 25, 2005

Hot Diggity Dog! The recipes in this book are downright delicious! My two favorites are the Cowhide Fajitas and the Hazelnut Squirrel Surprise (surprise - the squirrel is STILL ALIVE!) I don't have a dog but if you want to know the truth, these recipes are great for any mammal - including apes, dolphins and humans. My kids absolutely love the Puppy Poundcakes and the Dog Poop Dumplings are a Passover favorite. Four paws up for Suzan and Bunny! They've created the world's tastiest cookbook for dogs, Chupacabras, Sasquatches, Morlocks and yes... even Jeff Goldblum. Woof! Woof!
 Buy only if you are aware of basic dog health foods! September 8, 2000

Though likely well intentioned - the recipes for this book are not well researched. The author suggests that onions be used - in many recipes - but, according to my vet, onions can be deadly to dogs!! Other than onions - there are many recipes that suggest loads of cheese... there are great recipes to modify - but, unless you are acutely aware of dog health issues and needs, this book may not be as helpful as you would like.
