What you get
A downloadable ebook you read on a phone, tablet or computer, and can print. It covers how to work out a daily food amount by dog, safe and unsafe fruits, basic prep and hygiene points, notes on making dry food, plus 50 or more recipes for meals, snacks and frozen treats. You use it as a recipe reference at the kitchen counter.
Is it worth it?
If you have been looking at your dog's bag of kibble and wondering whether cooking for them would be cheaper or better, this is a recipe book that tries to answer the two questions people get stuck on: what to cook, and how much of it. The recipes are short and use ordinary ingredients. The sample on the page (banana, egg, nut, coconut oil, fried like a pancake) gives you a fair idea of the level, simple food rather than anything elaborate. Be clear about what it is. The page promises that a homemade diet will help you avoid diabetes, heart problems, skin issues and vet bills. Those are the seller's claims and no studies or credentials are given to back them, so treat them as sales copy rather than a reason to buy. Where homemade feeding genuinely goes wrong is nutrient balance over months, calcium and certain vitamins in particular, and an ebook cannot check your dog's bloodwork. Used sensibly, as a source of recipes and a starting point for portion sizes that you then run past your vet, it can do a real job. Used as a replacement for veterinary advice, especially with a puppy, a senior dog or a dog with a diagnosed condition, it is the wrong tool.
