This is a wonderful resource for those wishing to make there pets food。 I am a dog lover and enjoyed looking through the recipes provided。 The recipes are easy to follow and although my dogs have special health needs I still found a few recipes my dogs can enjoy。 If you want recipes for your fur babies this is a great place to start。

This is a very comprehensive guide to making your own dog food。 It focuses on cooked meals so it won't be a great fit for those who want to feed their dogs raw。 It's also very heavy on making recipes instead of just basic， healthy dog food。 There's a whole chapter on recipes to make for yourself and your dog。 I'm just not interested in making pancakes to share with my dog。 The nutritional sections are where the book really shines， with really detailed info on what every amino acid， vitamin， mine This is a very comprehensive guide to making your own dog food。 It focuses on cooked meals so it won't be a great fit for those who want to feed their dogs raw。 It's also very heavy on making recipes instead of just basic， healthy dog food。 There's a whole chapter on recipes to make for yourself and your dog。 I'm just not interested in making pancakes to share with my dog。 The nutritional sections are where the book really shines， with really detailed info on what every amino acid， vitamin， mineral， etc。 does and what foods dogs can and cannot eat （some may surprise you even if you think you know）， and so on。I do wish more vegetarian recipes were included。 There were a couple but not for just basic dog food。 The dog who held second place in the Guinness World Record for longest living dog was raised entirely on a simple homemade vegan diet and she lived to be 25， so I know it can be done （her owner talked about what she fed her in her book， Bramble; The dog who wanted to live forever）。 I would love to supplement my dog Moose's diet with way more homemade meals and I would like a lot of them to be vegetarian for ethical and cost reasons。 It seems sad to buy a whole lot of ingredients like lamb to make homemade food for one animal at the expense of many others， especially as I know it can be done in a way that also meets Moose's needs。That said， this is an excellent guide and covers a lot of ground that similar books don't。 Well recommended。I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review。 。。。more

This is a great book for anyone looking to feed their fur babies better food。 It is full of wonderful recommendations and recipes。 The supplement list is helpful as well。 This book helped me move our English bulldogs off of dry food and they are so much healthier since doing so。

This is really good if you have an interest in making your dogs food。 It covered everything you would possibly need for a healthy diet。 I know people that think you can feed your dogs meat and vegetables and call it a good idea， but it's so much more than that and this book explains it in detail。 I would not want to switch over to feeding my dogs home cooked meals without owning and studying this book。 I do feed kibble but I feed one of the best qualities。 This is also covered in the book！ Thank This is really good if you have an interest in making your dogs food。 It covered everything you would possibly need for a healthy diet。 I know people that think you can feed your dogs meat and vegetables and call it a good idea， but it's so much more than that and this book explains it in detail。 I would not want to switch over to feeding my dogs home cooked meals without owning and studying this book。 I do feed kibble but I feed one of the best qualities。 This is also covered in the book！ Thank you so much， NetGalley！ Great book！ 。。。more

One of the best dog food recipe books I have ever read。 I made a list of all of the foods that should never be given to dogs on a chalkboard in my kitchen， so everyone who keeps asking me can I feed this to your dogs， they can look at the chalkboard。

I wanted to read this but i found it impossible to open。 I even downloaded Adobe Digital Editions software but there was no way to sign in with NetGalley so it said I lacked ownership。 I can’t penalize the author though so I’ll give it full stars。

Feed Your Best Friend Better by Rick Woodford is a must have for any dog owner。 I have two dogs who both have very different nutritional needs。 I have been watching my one dog slowly gain weight while the second dog is slowly losing weight。 This cookbook has great nutritional information and I now better understand the nutritional and caloric needs of both of my dogs better。 For example， I thought that our newly adopted dog was very active but in reality she is just active for her breed and we n Feed Your Best Friend Better by Rick Woodford is a must have for any dog owner。 I have two dogs who both have very different nutritional needs。 I have been watching my one dog slowly gain weight while the second dog is slowly losing weight。 This cookbook has great nutritional information and I now better understand the nutritional and caloric needs of both of my dogs better。 For example， I thought that our newly adopted dog was very active but in reality she is just active for her breed and we need to adjust her meals accordingly。 I loved how well organized this cookbook was and how there are a variety or recipes for all of the categories which include treats， cookies， meals， meal toppers， recipes for ailing dogs and even recipes for dogs and their humans to eat together。 Additionally， there are gorgeous pictures throughout the book。 Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
