We have not ever been to a Three Dog Bakery, but we have seen their show on TV. I bought a copy of this book and ended up giving it to my neighbor's daughter who loved it so much, it made me go out and buy another copy! This book has many recipes you can make or bake at home for your dogs. My two dogs, McBeth (a yorkie) and Dolly (a pointer/mix?) loved the things I made for them. Plus they were EASY to make!!!!!! It was full of cute cartoons and trivia bits too, which make it interesting.

As a professional registered veterinary technician, I can honestly say that Three Dog Bakery's cook book contains, practical, healthy and yummy treats for any friend. For those concerned with the onion and other potentially harmful ingredients, those studies have only recently been confirmed by top-notch veterinary laboratories. Recipies are easy enough to change, and with a little imagination you and your pet can get off to a wonderful start in canine cullinary school!

I am a huge fan of Three Dog Bakery and have actually visited their original bakery in Kansas City Missouri as well as their French Quarter and Seatlle locations. We have purchased 3 Dog Bakery products for several years now, through mail order and Lucy, Clark and Jenny (my own three cocker spaniels) have NEVER been disappointed with the cakes and treats.I bought the book hoping to discover whatever their secret is for their amazing treats, but these are all new recipes.I made the Simple Simon bones and the birthday cake last night for Jenny's 2nd birthday party today.Everything turned out beautifully.I think if you enjoy fun and dogs and cooking, I would highly recommend this book!

I don't know if I like this book for the recipes or for the way I laughed while reading it.
I think it might actually be both. The authors have creatively described each recipe in tail wagging ways that are sure to please. My three Springer Spaniels quickly devour everything I make and I love knowing I'm giving them fresh, wholesome food. I would suggest you refrigerate all the treats you make if you live in a warm climate. Unlike the boxed treats you buy in the store, these don't have a shelf live longer than your dog's.

I read Amazing Gracie, which prompted me to check out the Three Dog Bakery Cookbook. I have made many of the recipes in the book, and they have all turned out GREAT! My dogs know when I'm about to whip up a batch of treats when I grab the cookbook; they join my in the kitchen and attentively watch me. I really enjoy making the treats in this book, even more so than cooking for humans. The recipes are easy, you probably have most of the ingredients in your kitchen, so get this book and have a good time with your best friends!

I like this cookbook more than most canine cookbooks I've seen. The recipes are simple and many, if not most, call for ingredients that are relatively likely to be hanging around or easy to find at the store (and you won't feel like you're buying ingredients you'll never need to use again). The recipes are very varied; they aren't just dog biscuits. It's a nicely made book too, with good pictures and the kind of spine that makes it easy to 'stay open', i.e., on the countertop while you're cooking. I also like how the recipe calls for a reasonable number of treats to be made, not 50 or 70 treats that many cookbooks create.

I bought this book for my elkhound. She's thrilled with the recipes. All paws up review. My only problem with the book is the amount of cheese found in recipes. Many of the recipes even call for lowfat cream cheese. I don't know about where all the other readers live, but here in MA cream cheese labels read like a chemistry experiment. I'll be substituting homemade yogurt cheese (yogurt strained through cheesecloth 6-8 hours) in those "cheesy" recipes I do make.

Great recipes, with easy-to-find ingredients. Simple to make, and my pup loves it. But the recipes tend to make a good portion of food, so if you have only one dog, as I do, make sure you use the food as "treats" and don't overfeed your dog, or you're liable to have one chunky dog. I keep a stash of these homemade treats in the fridge for training. Great book!

I received a copy of the Three Dog Bakery cookbook for Christmas. I immediately ordered several more copies to give to all my dog-loving friends. This book, written by the founders of the Three Dog Bakery chain of dog bakeries, is full of the fun that seems to be the mainstay of their "bakery for dogs". We have already baked two of the recipes. They were very simple to make and to say my dogs loved them would be a great understatement. I'm thankful to still have my fingers! I felt like Jake and Tony (the two most beautiful labs in the world) knew I was cooking something for them. One thing I loved about the 3 Dog Cookbook was the funny artwork and little "factoids" that are on every page. The book is a delight and a must-have companion for any home cooks who love their dogs (or just anyone who loves their dog!). We loved it! Jake and Tony say it's droolicious!

I bought this book as a gift and ended up keeping it for myself! And I don't currently own a dog! I have made three of the recipes for friend's dogs and have been practically licked to death in gratitude. We saw these guys on TV recently and they were cooking up an actual dinner recipe. I don't know if I'd ever go that far! This book is very cute with beautiful photos of the finished cookies. From now on, I know what to buy my dog-owning friends for their hungry pooches!
