Needed help with home cooking because my dog had developed food intolerances/allergies. This book covers all bases from healthy cat/dog home recipes to include recipes for allergies, digestive issues and skin problems. Covers some interesting history and general practices in the commercial pet food industry and some health problems that may arise from commercial food. Using citings and references, Dr. Strombeck provides the science, tells us what we know and really don't know about dog and cat nutrition. The healthy dog recipes (except vegetarian ones) all seem to contain sardines but we're told what nutrition the sardines provide so we can make substitutions. One of the top reasons I like this book: after reading it, I felt that I could make more informed choices about what I should feed my dog. Making dog food at home can be time-consuming, this book helped me remember why it was worth the effort.Read full review
I bought this book because I've done a lot of research about "prescription" dog food, end result its diabolical that vets are no different from medical doctors! They "prescribe" these expensive, junk food for these fur babies! So, that being said, my dog is recovering from pancreatitis and instinctively I knew I could do better for her, and I have. Although I am cooking for her about every three days, I feel really good that she is getting quality food with freshness from my kitchen. About 15 minutes and it's done, chicken ground up, organic pumpkin, white rice and cottage cheese, she's loving it. I've added some supplements to this also. Good book. Dr, Becker's book is also a good resource.
