Customer Reviews

A real winner!

Bought this book after looking at it for several months at the pet store! What a great investment...my two girls love every recipe that I've tried and I'm still working my way through the book. The favorites are the biscotti recipes; work so well that the vet thought I was a fanatic about brushing their teeth. I've made notes on each of the recipes as to adaptations to the recipe (doesn't everyone change a recipe, anyway?) I've recommended this book to every dog-owner that I know and have shared samples to get them hooked as well. Wish I had bought it sooner. So much more fulfilling to know what's going into their treats as well as satisfying my urge to bake.

best, best & best
