\"Penny<\/a>I’m really picky about what food and treats my dogs get. \u00a0I read all ingredient lists on treats with the same scrutiny as if I was going to be eating it. There’s no kibble in this house, my dogs get real foods to eat. \u00a0I’ve been doing this for years. \u00a0Avery and Penny are my second and third dogs that I’ve successfully switched over to a real foods diet.<\/p>\n

In total, I’ve been feeding dogs this way for over 10 years. \u00a0I geek out over dog nutrition and I’ll gladly talk with you about it and offer advice if you ask. \u00a0Not only am I a believer in eating real foods for myself but it also applies to my dogs.<\/p>\n

So when I was approached to review the Dog Gone Good Cuisine cookbook by Gayle Pruitt<\/em><\/a>, I jumped at the chance. \u00a0I don’t home-cook for my dogs much, they are on a more raw based diet. \u00a0However, I’m always learning and reading about dog nutrition and viewed this book as a resource.<\/p>\n

If you’re new to a real foods diet for dogs and are thinking of making the switch, this would be a great book to help ease you down that path. \u00a0It offers a lot of homemade dishes that you can feed your dog and that you can also eat.<\/p>\n

This cookbook also provides information about what foods and spices are OK for dogs, along with what kitchen equipment you will be using. \u00a0It prepares you for cooking for your dog without making this seem like an overwhelming or difficult task (because it isn’t).<\/p>\n

Another thing that won me over about this cookbook is that all the dogs pictured are rescue dogs. \u00a0All my dogs are rescue dogs so I have soft spot when it comes to providing second chances to our canine companions.<\/p>\n

I decided to go with a veggie recipe from the cookbook for my two punks.<\/p>\n
