Homemade Healthy Dog Food: Cookbook for Nutritious House Made Meals and Treats with 144 Easy Recipes

Your dog watches every move you make in the kitchen. Wouldn't it be nice if, for once, the bowl got something you actually cooked?

Plenty of dog owners would like to cook for their dog now and then, and most of them get stuck on the same questions. Which ingredients are fine? Which ones are off limits? And how much work is this going to be? This cookbook answers those questions first and then gets straight to the recipes.

It starts with the basics: the nutrients a dog needs, the foods a dog should never eat and how to put a balanced bowl together. After that come 144 easy recipes for meals and treats, built around everyday ingredients like chicken, rice, carrots, peas, sweet potato and spinach. Nothing exotic, and nothing that needs a trip to a specialty store. Everything is kept simple on purpose, so the hardest part is waiting for the food to cool down.

What's inside:

• 144 easy recipes for everyday meals and homemade treats.
• An ingredient guide to the nutrients dogs need and the foods that never belong in the bowl.
• Holiday treats from Easter to Christmas, for owners who like to celebrate with their dog.
• Storage tips so you can cook a batch, keep it fresh and have food ready when you need it.
• Ideas for dogs with special dietary needs, so nobody in the family has to miss out.

You don't have to switch everything at once. Start with a weekend treat or a warm spoonful of something homemade on the usual food. See how your dog likes it, then build from there: a weekly batch, a tray of holiday treats, a new favorite.

The recipes are written the way you actually cook, as clear text instructions rather than photo spreads, so you can follow along with one eye on the pot and the other on a very interested dog who will gladly volunteer as taste tester.

Made for dog owners who want to know exactly what goes into the bowl, first-timers who have never cooked for a dog, and anyone looking for a present for the dog lover who already owns every toy and a collar in every color.

Pick a recipe, grab a pot, and let the first taste test begin.
