Raw Dog Food: Make It Easy for You and Your Dog
This book offers nothing but the writer’s recipe for slop.
Who cares, is what I thought after reading. I am still searching for a thorough book with information. Don’t buy this book.

This idea is the epitome of sophomoric. Raw food diets are NOT appropriate for domestic dogs, and are HARMFUL at best. Proponents make all kinds of wild claims just short of their dogs being able to run faster than a locomotive, catch bullets, and leap tall buildings with a single bound, but the fact is that there is NO SCIENCE to support these claims. Most problems with domestic dogs are due to the fact that these dogs have been inbred for many, many generations to produce the breeds. Dogs have been evolving alongside humans for more than 30,000 years eating our cooked scraps. Dogs are carnivores, but not fastidious, and are capable of thriving on almost any diet. Raw food is no more appropriate nor “natural” for dogs than it is for us. These types of diets are also a public health risk, as they have been shown to transmit pathogenic bacteria and parasites. Few veterinarians recommend this, and for good reason, the ones that do can’t back it up with science.

Good information, quick to read, but too gory. It put images in my mind that my dog would have guts and blood splattered all over. Just grossed me out and almost turned me off of trying a RAW dog food diet for my pup. I wish I could recommend another book, because I think it’s great when reviewers do that, but I haven’t found one yet that is just plain, simple, easy, and not so gross. I do like “Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog” by Wendy Volhard and Kerry Brown, but even that one is a little over the top for me (I don’t take care of myself that well!).

This book is exactly as it describes itself. It gives information on giving your dog raw food – meat and bones as the mainstay of his diet. I read this because I’ve been searching for information on providing my own food for my dog. While this book has a lot of good information, I decided I was not going to go the raw route – too messy and I worry about bones. In another review I panned a book called Real Food for Dogs. I was very disappointed because it was frivolous and offered food that I do not believe a dog should have. A few weeks later[ The Good Food Cookbook arrived. [ASIN:1592530672 The Good Food Cookbook for Dogs: 50 Home-Cooked Recipes for the Health and Happiness of Your Canine Companion]] This book is much better balanced. The book offers food that is appropriate for dogs and it gives tasty ways of preparing them. I feel this book is somewhere in the middle of Raw Dog Food and Real Food. I recommend you give Good Food a try if you decide raw food is not the way to go.

This book should really be called “raw food for dummies”. It’s GREAT it helped me understand not only why I should do this but how I can. I tells you everything from what you need how to get it, how to prepare it, and how to feed it. I don’t think I would have made the switch without it!
