Straightforward Selfmade Canine Deal with Recipes: Enjoyable Selfmade Canine Treats for the Busy Pet Lover (Canine Care and Coaching)

Reliable recipes from a dog expert
This was a timely purchase for me because the other day I was at the supermarket looking for a treat for my dog and I actually took the time to read all of the ingredients on the manufactured treats. Well, I was utterly disgusted and refused to buy any of those so-called treats! To start with, “mechanically reclaimed meat” is gruesome, let alone the amount of colours, additives and preservatives they also packed in. It seems the best solution is to make my own treats at home.I was really grateful for the section on foods which are toxic to dogs. Last year I had the unfortunate experience of giving my dog part of an old leftover muffin and, only after he had eaten it all, remembering that it had sultanas in it. I felt so guilty! Worse, though, was that when I mentioned it to the rest of the household, no-one else even knew that dogs shouldn’t eat grapes. It’s absolutely vital that we all know which foods are toxic to dogs so that we can keep our pets healthy.As for foods which are good for dogs, I was pleased to see that yoghurt is okay. My dog loves natural yoghurt and I often give him a spoonful, but I was never really sure whether or not it was healthy. What a relief!I can’t wait to try the recipes in this book. Knowing that the author – Vikk Simmons – is a long-time dog lover and owner, not to mention blogger and book author, gives me the confidence that I can really trust the information in this book. Highly recommended!

Every dog lover should read this, whether you make your own dog treats or not
In addition to an unbelievable number of innovative doggy treat recipes (including no-bake options), this book is loaded with essential information about how to feed your dogs in general. I learned a lot of important DO’s and vital DON’Ts when it comes to the healthy feeding of the pets we love. You’ll get a lot out of this book whether you make your own dog treats or not.Another thing I really like about this book is the smart tech layout — the introduction not only outlines the important concepts to come, but puts handy links to those sections of the book if you want to jump there right away.Vikk Simmons (ALifeWithDogs.com) is a great writer and dog guru, and every dog lover will benefit from reading this book.-Dan DeFigio, author of Beyond Smoothies

I don’t have a dog, but thought this was a good idea for making gifts as some friends have pets with food allergies. Interesting ideas and useful gift for friends with dogs.

As a dog behaviourist who has studied dog nutrition i was surprised to discover the author contradicting herself and telling people in one chapter that garlic powder and cloves is dangerous to dogs and then in the next chapter she has it listed as an ingredient in her recipes!!! Hardly professional and is she trying to kill people’s dogs? She obviously is not qualified and hasn’t a clue what she she is doing. YOU DO NOT GIVE GARLIC OF ANY TYPE OR ONION OF ANY TYPE TO DOGS IT IS HIGHLY TOXIC. I would strongly suggest removing this book before an owner who is not qualified or knowledgeable in this field accidentally kills their dog.
