Review: The Ultimate Dog Treat Cookbook: Homemade Goodies for Man's Best Friend by Liz Palika, 2005

Rating: *

I enjoyed 4 of the 48 recipes from this book. I was shocked to see Bisquick (prepackaged baking mix), cornmeal, Campbell's Chicken Soup, Beef Bouillon and dog kibble used as ingredients. Most of the recipes have egg, wheat and dairy.

Recommended alternatives are Janine Adams' You Bake'em Dog Biscuits Cookbook: More than 50 tasty recipes that your dog will beg for or Cooking the Three Dog Bakery Way by Mark Beckloff and Dan Dye
