My sweet daughter bought me this for Christmas (with her own money too) and it was a far better choice than many a dog treat cookbook I've chosen in the past.

So far I've made the "Gingerbread Mailmen" but since I didn't have a mailmen cutter they turned out to be boring old gingerbread bones. Thankfully my dogs are not snobbish and ate them anyway. These called for an entire tsp of ground cloves and let me tell ya, they smelled heavily of cloves. I don't think I'd like to eat them but the dogs, as I said, have no standards (which is why I love them so). This book also doesn't use wheat flour but it's easy enough to make brown rice and oat flour by throwing them in a Ninja or other tough food processor and blending them up to a fine powder. Pretty cheap too. Don't waste your cash on those fancy flours when you can whip them up yourself. Anyway, the recipe was easy to follow, had only a small handful of ingredients and made my dogs happy.

*the dogs must have tea with their biscuits

So far, I'm liking this book a lot. The recipes seem to use normal ingredients, none stand out as troubling and I haven't run across any that seem too time consuming. I'll try to take pictures before most of them are devoured by this beast.



Update 2-3-15 I made the Cheesy Biscuits while stuck home during a snowstorm. Easiest dog treats ever. Brown rice flour, oat flour (I subbed in wheat flour - ran out of oats), parm cheese, shredded cheese, egg & water. I had to add in a bit more water because of the flour sub but these came out great. And, of course, the dogs LOVE them.

While reading I did see one recipe I cannot make because it contains tomato and my dog is highly allergic which we learned the hard way. After we nearly lost him, I read up and realized tomato and tomato products are not recommended for dogs. My dog gets intense intestinal distress (emergency room level if he eats too much) so I am super careful.

Dog biscuits galore! 25 recipes for tail-wagging treats. Buddy Blue will be happy . . . but I sense some jealousy on the part of the three cats. Hiss! Hiss!

For many the family dog is way more than just a pet, it’s a member of the family. So it’s no surprise that special care is given to finding the right food for them. As people become more concerned about the preservatives and additives in their own food, they are also worrying about what their dogs eat.

But what about the treats that dogs so love? Well, the Bubba Rose Biscuit Company has created the most delightful and useful cookbook to aid in this matter – THE ORGANIC DOG BISCUIT COOKBOOK. This fully revised and updated edition offers over 100 tail-wagging recipes.

The charming hardcover cookbook is divided into six chapters and includes resources, a recipe index and a sidebar index. In addition, there is an introduction section that details the helpful tools of the trade you’ll need to prepare the recipes (simple items you’ll probably already have on hand), as well as substitutions, storage tips, and much more beneficial advice.

Here’s an example of one of the various chapters. Chapter 1 (Forget-Me-Nots) offers a unique recipe for each month of the year making it a special time for your four-legged fur baby. For instants, while the humans are enjoying Halloween candy your dog can enjoy Pumpkin Bites.

The recipes are simple and easy to prepare. Many of the recipes contain only a few ingredients and can be prepared and ready for tasting within an hour. While the main ingredients include such items as oat flour or brown rice flour, most can be found in the specialty/organic aisle of your grocery store.

‘Snickerdoodles’ was the first recipe I decided to try. After purchasing the oat flour and brown rice flour, I had the other five ingredients (cinnamon, egg, honey, vanilla, and water) already on hand. The recipe was quick and easy to fix. When the treats cooled, I offered a taste to our three English Shepherds. They sniffed, tentatively tasted and then devoured the treats.

They love the new treats and I love the fact that they good for them and contain no additives or preservatives. In fact, the treats looks so good you might be tempted to try one yourself. Since they are made with all natural ingredients that you normally cook with, why not?

THE ORGANIC DOG BISCUIT COOKBOOK is beautifully designed with 224 pages. There are no color photos of the finished treats, but charming dog illustrations throughout the book. With a handy bookmarker attached, you’ll never lose your place when making treats for your four-legged babies. This helpful and informative cookbook is a must-have for dog lovers.

FTC Full Disclosure - This book was sent to me by the publisher in hopes I would review it. However, receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review.

I've got a dog with a long list of food related allergies so I'm on the hunt for treats he can actually eat. This cookbook was organized in a user friendly manner. It started with pantry, fridge and freezer items to keep on hand so you can have the ingredients you need to make treats at any time. They also talked about substitutions for certain ingredients, especially eggs, which was important to me as I already stated I've got the dog with allergies from hell. While almost all of the recipes in the book would require substitution to make them work for my pup, they were easy to follow recipes and the substitutions actually enhanced the item most of the time. There were about 6 recipes that were perfect for my pup and I look forward to trying them each out. The nice thing about it, is that the recipes were organic and used ingredients that you would be willing to feed any family member not just the furry ones. In fact, a couple of the treats wouldn't take much tweaking to make them yummy enough for the bipeds in the house to go after. All in all, I'd say it's a pretty good cookbook. It would be perfect if there were just a few more recipes that didn't need substitutions to work for my pup.
