Mention dog food, and even dogs may turn up their noses. Grim little pellets or mysterious meatlike concoctions need not be the latest trend in canine cuisine, according to author and dog lover Michele Bledsoe. In The Doggy Bone Cookbook, she shows how dog owners, numbering more than 43 million people, can bake love and nutrition into their furry friends’ diet.
This fun book grew out of testing hundreds of recipes. Each book comes with a bone-shaped cookie cutter and easy-to-bake veterinarian-approved recipes ranging from Peamutt Butter, Bark-B-Q, and Cinnabone, to Dig 'n' Cheese, Santa Paws, and Howl About a Mint. New to this edition are recipes for dogs with bad breath and for special birthday treats. Color illustrations appear on every page, and quotes from canine connoisseurs testify to the quality of these tail-wagging snacks.
Michele Bledsoe discovered her dog loved homemade treats/cookies as much as she did! She consulted with several veterinarians to ensure that the ingredients were healthy and nutritious. Then came the fun part, she baked up over 100 batches of doggy bones and conducted a taste tests allowing dogs to pick the top flavors to include in The Doggy Bone Cookbook. Now, years later, several dog bakeries have used The Doggy Bone Cookbook to help assist them in starting their business and several homes have found the fun and comfort that comes from giving your dog a homemade treat filled with love and all natural ingredients.
