Here are the top five reasons why The Doggy Bone Cookbook deserves a rating of 10:

1.- The recipes really WILL please your dog (they are easy and healthy).

2.- If you're too busy, give the book to your son or daughter. Kids love baking these bones as much as dogs love eating them.

3.- I've given The Doggy Bone Cookbook to other dog owners as a gift, and they love it, too.

4.- The book is stain resistant, and the cookie cutter stores right inside the book.

5.- It's a fun read. The recipe names are a riot!

Michele Bledsoe's cookbook is such a prize! I've ordered several -- one for myself, and one for a close dog-lovin' friend, who was thrilled with it. I wondered how the biscuits would turn out, and if the dogs would like them.... Well, I was very surprised and pleased to see that the bones looked like the ones professionally made and sold in stores!I couldn't believe that they looked so good, and were so easy to cut. Also, I found that I could roll the batter thinner and make smaller ones for my dog that's on a diet. (The "smaller collar diet bone" has been perfect for him!) And, there's just something so special about seeing a cookie pan full of your pup's favorite bones come out of the oven, while he sits there and drools waiting for them to cool!!

I've made bones and given some in gift bags, and the recipients were always so appreciative to get "homemade" snacks for their puppies!

The book makes a perfect Christmas gift for those petlover friends on your list! Or, send it to your pet friends to give to their owners...!

The recipes are very simple to make and call for minimal ingredients. I had my young nieces help me make the treats and they had a wonderful time helping. I made the treats as Christmas gifts for special dogs and supplied the owners with the cookbook. I also found that my two dogs, who are extremely fickle about their treats, loved most of the treats I made. I do have several other cookbooks for dog treats, but I found that the receipes this book provides are the ones dogs really like.

This is such a great little recipe book for doggy treats. I wasn't sure which one I wanted though so I went to Borders myself and got this one.

Sure it doesn't have a 100+ pages of extensive expensive recipes that are boring to look at. This author tested many recipes before narrowing it down to these 12 or so. They are are great and my dog LOVES them. Seriously how many recipes does one dog need for treats anyway??

I also got this book because it is a boardbook, fun to look at, simple and the cookie cutter! It is so nice to have some recipes you can use the cookie cutter for. We even make a yogurt based coating to put on them for gifts to other doggies. It looked so good. I also want to use my Christmas cookie cutters this year to make little doogie treat baskets for our friends with dogs.

I highly recommend this book as a gift to kids 5-12 with dog(s) This is a unique gift that I am sure they would like to get. The cookie cutter hangs out of the side - very cute looking. My daughter can't get enough of this book - she even likes to look at the pictures in it and I LOVE that it is a boardbook - it will hold up for years!

This is a wonderful book that every dog owner should have. My dog absolutely loves all of the treats made from the recipes in this book. Even better, these are healthy recipes and my vet says they are just fine. I plan to use these recipes to bake healthy treats as gifts for all of my friends who own dogs. The book itself is also a great gift. I am not an accomplished cook, but found these recipes easy and simple to use.

From whole wheat and vegetarian bones to BBQ bones, this book has a good variety of choices for your dog. The author gives tips for making perfect dog biscuits and also encourages adding your dogs favorite flavors to her recipes. Of the biscuits I have made so far, my dog has begged for seconds, which is more than I can say for most of the biscuits I have have bought for him at the store.

Although "The Doggy Bone Cookbook" is small, it is jam-packed with quick, easy to make recipes for natural dog biscuits that are sure to please even the most fussiest canine palettes! It even comes with a cute plastic doggy bone cookie cutter. I have already made four surefire hits from this book - Cinnabone, Pea-mutt Butter, Garlicky and Cheese, and Bark-B-Que, and my one-year-old Keeshond gobbles them right up. The ten recipes are easy and quick to assemble (making them quite appropriate for children to make!) and require minimal healthy ingredients for maximum taste. The book also includes helpful tips such as how to cook the biscuits to just the right consistency (something I had had problems with in the past). If you enjoying cooking, and care about feeding your dog foods and treats that contain natural ingredients (with no chemicals, food dyes or preservants), then this book is perfect for you!

is exactly what the recipes in this book did! The bones are the perfect size for small training treats for any dog, and the recipes lend themselves well to adaptation (a batch of apple doggie bones, based on the veggie bone recipe but substituting two cups of grated apples for the veggies, pure unsweetened apple juice for the water, and with the addition of 1/4 c. molasses) are baking in the oven as I write this. My Standard Poodle knows what the cookie cutter looks like; once she sees the bones go in the oven, she walks by it every few minutes to check their progress and gives me beseeching looks if they're not ready...

Both my dogs (and many of my friends' and coworkers' dogs) give this book their enthuiastic howl of approval!

I've never seen my retrievers behave so well as when I'm holding one of these homemade biscuits up to them. I've given them as gifts to friends' dogs as well. Although I've seen other biscuit recipes, these are EASY to make, with ingredients most people already have in their cupboards. However, I have found that I have to bake the biscuits longer than recommended, otherwise they stay a little moist and will get moldy. The folks at my vet's office have begged for the recipes to the diet doggy bones and the peanut butter biscuits. Now, I never make my husband cookies without making a batch for my dogs as well.

I purchased this book to start my doggy bag barkery business and the biscuits really sell. I recommend this book for anyone starting out in the business. Be careful with the Minty Bones because they mold quickly.
