The recent crisis involving tainted pet food from China has made dog owners increasingly concerned with the origin and ingredients of their pet's food. With this book, pet parents can bake their own safe, fun, and natural dog treats. The Doggy Bone Cookbook's pet-tested, veterinarian-approved recipes are made with healthy, traditional kitchen ingredients that please even the most finicky canine connoisseurs. Included are recipes focusing on favorite flavors such as Thyme for a Treat, Howl About a Mint, and Tomutto and Cheese, holiday treats like Easter B'egg, Yappy Birthday and other special occasion dishes, and recipes for dogs with special dietary needs. Helpful hints transform even the worst cook into a full-fledged Doggy Bone Chef, while a bone-shaped cookie cutter ensures perfectly shaped biscuits every time. Funny, colorful illustrations on each page make the book as much fun to read as it is to cook with.
