Product Description
Delicious eats for your best friend. Jamie Young's resourceful book will inspire dog lovers everywhere to make important choices about their pet's diet and to create some of the tastiest, healthiest meals for their canine friends. Simple and accessible, this beautifully designed cookbook features 26 recipes that are inexpensive, easy, balanced, nutritious and, most important, tasty. Grrrrowlicious serves up a delicious menu of recipes for cooked and raw food - the classic carnivore diet- and a few treats. Chapters include: - Cooked. Droolicious recipes for dog dinners
- Vitamins. Essentials to keep your dog in tip-top shape, inside and out
- Oils. The low-down on all the good oils
- Animal. Raw-boned delights to make your hound howl for more
- Vegetable. For a well-rounded diet, canines cannot live by meat alone
- Toxic. A list of no-nos that should never appear on a dog's plate.
From puppy porridge to pasta, and from raw bones to risotto, here is a wonderful repertoire of feisty and delicious meals for any dog.

Nice photos, but no good advice on home prepareed food May 20, 2007

Going just by looks, it's a cute book with many nice photos, but if you want real information on how to prepare home made dog food that will keep your dog healthy in the long run, don't waste your money.
Recipes do not show for what range of body weight the amount of food is suitable, are poorly researched and not formulated to provide proper amounts and ratios of nutrients (e.g. none of the home cooked recipes contain a calcium supplement to create a correct calcium to phosphorus ratio, which is very important), and one of the recipes even contains sultanas, which, just like grapes, raisins and currants, are known to be toxic to dogs, with the potential of causing kidney failure.
While not every single meal your dog eats has to be "complete and balanced", nutrient requirements must be met on a consistent basis, and feeding the way this book sugests is not going to accomplish it.
"Dr. Pitcairn's New Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats" (ISBN 157954973X) is a far better choice if you want to leave storebought dog food behind.
