2.0 out of 5 stars Buy only if you are aware of basic dog health foods!, September 7, 2000

By	Kathy Minaert (Manchester, NH USA) - See all my reviews

Though likely well intentioned - the recipes for this book are not well researched. The author suggests that onions be used - in many recipes - but, according to my vet, onions can be deadly to dogs!! Other than onions - there are many recipes that suggest loads of cheese... there are great recipes to modify - but, unless you are acutely aware of dog health issues and needs, this book may not be as helpful as you would like.

5.0 out of 5 stars why I like this book, June 17, 2005

By	CWF (chenango forks, ny United States) - See all my reviews

I suppose I could cook for my dogs on a regular basis, but I don't. This book has been extremely valuable to me, though, when I have a dog who has been very sick or through surgery and is refusing the regular fare. In such case I can always find a recipe here to tempt the appetite and bring them back from the edge. I credit the toasted sardine and cheese sandwich for saving Mac (gangrenous spot on the liver in 1991); and right now Kerby (cancer diagnosis and amputee) is willing to eat the gizzard and egg pie (I have several others marked, like potato and bacon stuffed hotdogs). The recipes are simple and economical, and include gravies, soups, and breakfasts, as well as special needs diets. The earlier review about onions is well noted, but I'm not sure that was anything people knew about when this book first came out. I would think the other review is bogus.
For those who may be at a loss at how to deal with post-surgical or disease related anorexia, I highly recommend this book.

I am very pleased with this book. It is in excellent condition for a used book. The shipping was very quick. I would definitely deal with this seller again in the future.
