If you’re a dog lover like me, you don’t see your dog as a pet but as a full-fledged member of the household. You do everything for him, you communicate with him by observing his behavior, and you translate his signals into human language so you know exactly what he means. And of course, you want to give him the best possible food.
But if you have one like mine — a very picky eater — you often end up pulling your hair out and could almost start your own wholesale business in dog food with everything you’ve bought and he’s rejected. 😉
According to my vet, a Golden Retriever eats everything. Well… not really. LOL.
That’s why I was very curious about this book, and I read it with great pleasure (and quite an appetite). The recipes sound delicious and are easy to make, and the extra information about the different ingredients and their nutritional value is really interesting.
I’m definitely going to try some of them out — and I’ll spoil not only my dog but also myself: me with a cup of hot chocolate, and my dog with a bowl of fresh water.
Just reading the book made my mouth water, and I can’t wait to start trying some of the recipes.
A fun and interesting book with beautiful photos — truly valuable for any dog person. 😉

It is evident from the very beginning of this book that the author Margot has a very special relationship with her doodle!
The dedication and inspiration for the book will capture your heart; from there a boat load of information emerges. For anyone who is a first time dog owner or wants to educate their children about the importance of knowing what a dog can safely eat should start with reading this book.
It is a real treat once the recipes begin! The author keeps it simple listing the ingredients and any special tools you may need. There are photographs of each recipe listed, which helps to visualize the end result of what to expect. The author also notes which treats are Gluten Free and Dairy Free. The treats vary from sweet to savory! The author provides a lot of helpful tips on reference pages providing a lot of instruction. She even included an ingredient index, providing all the benefits of each ingredient.

I absolutely adore Pup Chef: 50 Recipes Your Furry Best Friend Will Love by Margot Phillips! As a new dog mom, I’ve been struggling to find treats that match my pup’s good-boy energy—regular bones just aren’t enough sometimes! This cookbook is a game-changer: it’s bursting with creativity and so easy to follow. Every recipe includes vibrant pictures and clear, step-by-step instructions that make you feel like a pro in the kitchen.
The book also shares super helpful advice on foods you should never feed your fur baby, keeping them safe and happy. Plus, it’s incredibly versatile, offering tips like how to use a meat thermometer, tricks for even cooking, and safe cooking practices that any dog parent can appreciate.
As Margot put it perfectly, “You don’t need to be a professional chef to be a Pup Chef—a little effort makes a big difference,” and wow, is that spot-on!
I can’t wait to whip up the Apple Peanut Butter Popsicles for my little guy while we soak up some sun together! I wholeheartedly recommend this cookbook to dog owners who want to spoil their fur babies as much as they spoil us. I’m beyond excited to try out all these recipes!

If you’re looking for a fun, heartfelt cookbook to make treats and snacks for your dog, this is a very solid choice. Margot Phillips’ easygoing voice and the friendly presentation make it an easy addition to your shelf. Her love for her dog shines through every page, and the instructions are simple enough for anyone to follow, no fancy chef skills required. I especially liked how the book focuses on dog safe ingredients and gives options for different treat types, from baked goodies to quick snacks.
For those of you looking for more of a deeper nutritional find or more in depth gourmet receipts, this may not be for you. But it is an easy DIY for any beginner or person looking for fast easy fun choices.
That said, some recipes are pretty basic with just a few areas where depth could have been increased. Still, it’s a charming, well-made guide that delivers exactly what it promises … fun, easy cooking for your pup.

These pages hold more than a few recipes, which hit all sorts of directions to make almost any pup smile.
This is a cookbook for dog treats and offers fifty possibilities, covering a large range of directions. The author begins the book with a personal note before heading into a brief overview of what cooks need to keep in mind when creating food for their furry friends. There are some dietary notes as well as a list of items dogs shouldn't eat and why. This allows young cooks to understand why some foods are appropriate and what harm they can cause. After this, it's recipe time.
The book is divided into several sections according to treat types. Each recipe has a two-page spread, one side with a large, colorful photo of the treat and the other with the recipe. The ingredients are listed clearly on the left side of the recipe along with a note (if needed) and two-stars when the recipe is gluten and dairy free. The ingredients are pretty standard, and I didn't notice anything that isn't readily available at the local grocery store. The directions are concise and clear, but then, these recipes aren't overly difficult, for the most part. Some do require certain shaped cookie cutters or baking forms, but honestly, that's only if a person wants them to look exactly like the photo. Obviously, these are necessities in most cases.
As with all cooking adventures, younger cooks will need a little supervision or assistance, but older, experienced bakers should have no problem creating most treats on their own. The text is very understandable, and there are even cute, doggy photos sprinkled in to make fans smile.
The end of the book holds several index possibilities to help readers find recipes easily. There are also a few more tips and facts at the end to round off the information goodness.
Baking fans, who want to treat their furry friends, too, are sure to enjoy this book and will find more than enough ideas to keep repeats far and few between...and are sure to find more than a few that their pals enjoy.

The book Pup Chef: 50 Recipes Your Furry Best Friend Will Love feels like having a friend in the kitchen guiding you through each step of making something special for your dog. From the dedication page to the heartfelt “letter” a few pages later, the author shares her journey from heartbreak to healing, and her “why” behind spoiling her pup with homemade treats. That personal touch makes the recipes feel even more meaningful.
I especially appreciated the section on safety and sensitivity, including the detailed list of foods dogs should never eat (and why). While some are obvious, like alcohol and chocolate, others, such as avocados and mushrooms, were surprising and eye-opening. It’s clear the author put a lot of thought into making this book both fun and responsible. The recipes themselves are whimsical yet practical, laid out like an advanced cookbook with equipment lists, prep instructions, and photos of what the finished product should look like. I tried the pumpkin chews first, and they were simple to make, looked just like the picture, and, most importantly, my pups loved them! Next on my list are the banana beet treat and the pupcake.
Overall, the recipes are approachable for every level of baker and use real, clean ingredients. If you’re looking to treat your furry best friend while knowing exactly what’s going into their snacks, this book deserves a spot on your shelf.

This recipe book was not only filled with pup-friendly treats, but super informative! I enjoyed how the author provided symbols for GF/DF options, and that the tools suggested were clearly labeled.
