3.0 out of 5 stars Dog-UNFRIENDLY Ingredients, January 25, 2008

By	Ellie "Dog Lover" (New York) - See all my reviews

I was very surprised to see that many of the recipes call for corn. Dogs cannot digest corn and this is widely known. Before I was aware of this fact, I included mixed vegetables (which include corn) in my dog's recipes. Her poop would contain undigested corn. That's what made me Google corn for dogs. So, I was disapponted to see corn in the recipes - supposedly OK'd by a vet.

3.0 out of 5 stars difficult to implement, June 10, 2009

By	V. Adams (TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book to be able to make more wholesome foods for my beloved beagle. But the recipes are so hard to do and so difficult to get some of the ingredients and so costly that I just can't do it. Maybe someday, maybe. I had hoped it would be easier than it is.
