I have had dogs around me my entire life. Very few days in my life have been spent
without them. And those days were always lacking. I’ve shared life with mutts and pure-
breeds (Of course the only TRUE pure-breed is the wolf, from which all others sprang)
and am now a 100% Golden Retriever addict.
I don’t just love MY Goldens, I love ALL Goldens! You walk down the street toward me
with a Golden and you are going to be stopped, and your dog petted.
In general I am a sucker for any canid, whether it be “Gods dog” the Coyote, or mighty
predator the Wolf, or even a little old lady’s apricot toy poodle. (Not my first choice, but
there’s wolf in there somewhere!)
I even had some professional experience with wolves years ago. As a director of a
small non-profit organization in New Mexico, I had the opportunity to work on Ted
Turner’s ranch in the southern part of the state building Mexican Wolf reintroduction
pens for the endangered species program of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
What an honor! To this day I am proud that I helped wild wolves regain in their rightful
place among vast, open, wild places in the Southwest where they have roamed free for
eons.
Maybe someday I will do a wild game cookbook for wolves. Who knows?
For now, I am happy to present a cookbook that will have dog lovers feeding their
favorite quadrupeds gourmet treats and meals that are healthy, satisfying, diverse, and
tail-wagging good!
It is widely known that the same old food, day in and day out, is boring. Ask anyone! It
is also not as healthy for dogs to eat the same ‘ol stuff everyday, even if you feed them
the most expensive, high-quality chow. Variety among a wide range of foods is the
secret to improving and maintaining your dog’s health, happiness, and ultimately
lengthening the number of years you get to spend with them.

Believe it or not, many dogs love things you’d never imagine. Carrots for instance!
Break out a bag of those and chop into bite-size pieces and you have a 100% guilt-free
treat most dogs love! Great for their teeth and great for their health.
Got a picky eater? I can guarantee there will be something in this cookbook that will
make your fussy pup clean his bowl time and again.
I hope you enjoy this cookbook. Drop by http://dogcook.com anytime and say hi to me,
Joe and Tyler and exchange recipes with other dog owners who are more than just a
little fond of their pets!
Joe
I have been a human lover all my life. I cannot remember a day without a good human
around. Taking care of my human is my duty, 24/7. The man would literally be lost
without me. It’s not an easy job. That’s why I require healthy food, concentrated petting
and ear scratching, and lots of swimming in the river to keep in shape for my job.
Ever since I started eating the food in this book, my job has been easier. I have more
energy, my coat is so shiny it makes the poodle down the street weak in the knees, and I
can run for miles without stopping. Just ask the cats!
Tyler
I have been a dog for as long as I can remember, and I can tell you, the last day my
human put yet another bowl of the same old store-bought food in front of me without so
much as a home-baked garlic and herb biscuit in it, I freaked! I admit I was pretty hard
on him for a few days until he finally got the idea to put some spice in my life.
I mean, his big box of food with the heavy door has ALL KINDS of things in it I would eat
if given the chance. Then he finally decided to give in, and I have been healthy and
happy ever since. I can chase a ball around the moon on good days, and that’s saying a
lot for a 10 year old dog in human years!

Healthy Cooking for Your Dog:
What’s the Big Deal?
I was brought up with dogs and was always taught “No people food,
no eating from the table, and feed them the same dog food every
day.”
Now, whatever your policy is on eating from the table, or “begging,”

it is still important to remember that from now on, it is OK for your
dog to have a varied diet including things you and I eat. Fruits and
vegetables are GREAT for the health and general well-being of your
dog. Ask any Vet!
When I make salads, I inevitably drop a carrot or lettuce on the floor

(I am a messy cook!) and I notice the dogs LOVING these little
additions to their diet. But until a year ago I never thought about the
health benefits for dogs to eat healthy “people food.”
True story: About 6 years ago I had a garden in the back yard of
my apartment. On one side of the porch I had cherry tomatoes and
on the other, a small herb garden.
While sitting outside one day, I noticed Joe, one of my Golden

Retrievers, walk over to the tomato plants and “pick” a tomato. But
he didn’t eat it right away. Instead, he carried the tomato over to the
herb garden where I had oregano growing and he proceeded to eat
the tomato WITH the oregano!
Right then and there I learned a lot about dogs and taste! Joe made
a salad in his mouth out of the same ingredients I used all the time
in my own salads. And I never consciously taught him any of these
behaviors.
What have I learned since the “salad on the go” incident? That
dogs LIKE good foods, and not just pre-mixed dry foods with ground
up cattle parts. They also like fresh veggies, apparently right off the
vine in Joe’s case!
Bottom line: A varied diet with healthy foods historically reserved

for us humans, also makes for a happier, healthier dog! Almost
every food that is good for us is good for dogs too. In fact, we’d all
be healthier, happier dog OWNERS if we ate foods that are
prepared with the ingredients in this book!
(Although I recommend you stick to “traditional” birthday cake on
your birthday. I have tried dog biscuit icing, and it’s definitely for the
dogs!)

Healthy Treats!
Easy to prepare, and good for some
“unconditional” love from your dog.

pieces into a number of airtight bags and store in the fridge. Use liver pieces as treats when
training)

buy fresh liver from the supermarket.

Cut the liver into approximately 1 inch slices. Place in your food dehydrator for 24 hours*. Use
Pam or the equivalent on the drying racks, so the liver won't stick. Let dry for 24 hours.

set and firm; this prevents big messes!

Meals:
That Make Your Dog Strong,
Healthy, and Happy!
Chicken and Kibble

Ingredients
3 to 4 chicken breasts (no bone, no skin)

1 1/2 cups non-sticky rice (we use basmati)
Directions
Microwave the chicken breasts until fully cooked. Cut into tip of the finger size pieces. Reserve
the juice for the first meal. Steam the rice until fully cooked. Combine the chicken and rice. Add a
pinch of salt if you didn't already salt the rice. Add any other seasoning your dog likes. (Ours have
severe allergies, so we season with Feverfew.)
When ready to feed the dogs, combine half their recommended kibble with sufficient chicken/rice
mixture to make up about 1/3 their ration. Make up the rest with fat free cottage cheese.
This makes a very low fat diet, typically less than 10%. You can add vegetable fats or fish oil to
improve vitamin absorption, but do be sparing. In the first batch of food, add the cooking juices
from the chicken to the kibble.
This recipe makes enough food for several feedings, so don't put the chicken drippings in the
storage container: it will only hasten spoilage. Also, don't leave the mix down: it will spoil very
fast.
We make a batch of chicken/rice every other day. Our two dogs combined weigh over 200
pounds. If you have one or smaller dogs, you can reduce the recipe. The vets say they have
never seen healthier dogs!

Romantic Dinner for Two

Ingredients
1lb of Regular Ground Beef

2 eggs
3 carrots
1 cup cabbage "If your dog doesn't like someone, you
2 tablespoons Canola, Flax Seed, or Olive Oil probably shouldn't either." - Unknown
1/2 cup peas
1 can of baked beans
1 tin of sardines
Garlic (cloves/pureed or powder)
Directions
Puree vegetables in food processor or blender. Mash vegetables and ground beef together
in a bowl, with a potato masher or with your hands. Crack the eggs into the bowl,
including the shells (for extra calcium). Add remaining ingredients and keep mashing
until everything is smooth and there are no large chunks of egg shell. For extra nutrients,
mash in a Vitamin E capsule, or Echinacea.

Meat Patties for the Month
Ingredients
6 pounds hamburger
2 sweet potatoes, cut up, boiled, mashed
24 oz. cottage cheese
1 apple
1 pear
3 Tbs Soy &/or Worcestershire Sauce
12-15 dog vitamins; crushed (a coffee grinder works wonderfully for this!)
Directions
Cut up the sweet potatoes and boil for about 15 minutes, until mashable. While sweet potatoes
are boiling, put onion, pear and apple through food processor (chop cycle). Combine all
ingredients (mashed sweet potatoes, chopped onion, pear and apple, cottage cheese, Soy and/or
Worcestershire Sauce and dog vitamins) with hamburger. I just dig my hands in a mix it all up.
It's squishy, but it works the best! I use a 1/2 cup scoop to make meat patties. It will make
approximately 27 half-cup meat patties. Keep out enough for two days and freeze the rest. For a
remarkable tasty meal, I microwave a meat patty for 5-6 minutes and combine the meat patty and
its juices with 1 cup kibble, 1 cup oatmeal, 1 cup fresh vegetables and about 1/2 cup 2% milk.
This feeds one very active large size dog (about 50-60 lb). For a change, instead of oatmeal, use
polenta, brown rice, or pasta. Use a variety of fresh vegetables, cabbage, carrots, corn, potatoes,
green beans, peas, broccoli, etc. or throw in a fruit or two. If you plan to feed this daily, please
switch over SLOWLY! Your dog will LOVE it, have a glowing coat and be happy and healthy.
He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the
winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand
times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the
way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I
leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to
care for me.)
When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me
smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I
succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man.
With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of
devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me
understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human
hurts.
His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things.
He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I
expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog." - Gene Hill

bone for special occasions.

Make Your Own Dry Dog Food With Meat!
Ingredients
2 cups full fat soy flour, corn flour or potato flour

1 cup rye flour
1 cup corn meal
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup nonfat dry milk
1/4 cup alfalfa powder [or increase brewer's yeast]
3 tbls bone meal
1 tbls sea salt
1 lb ground chicken, or beef [or combine the two] [1/4 lb]*
1 can tinned fish [mackeral, tuna or sardines]
4 tbls oil or fat
1 tbls cod liver oil [1 tbls]*
400 IU Vitamin E [100 IU]*
cup chopped onion [optional] [1/8 cup]*
1 quart water
cup brewer's yeast [1/8 cup]*
Directions
• Mix all ingredients except yeast to make a firm dough. Spread flat on a cookie sheet and
roll to 1/4" to 1/2" thickness.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. Cool and break or cut into bite size pieces
then sprinkle with yeast.
• Store in an air tight container. Keeps 2 to 3 days without refrigeration, longer if
refrigerated, and indefinitely if frozen.
• Serve at room temperature or slightly warmer and supplement with fresh vegetables if fed
this recipe as a regular diet.
Note: This recipe makes enough to feed an adult Golden Retriever for 4 to 8 days.
*Tips for Food Processors
This recipe is too large to mix in the average food processor, so I often follow the directions below
since using the food processor is quicker and more convenient for me.
Mix up the dry ingredients and put in an air tight container. [Coffee tins with plastic lids work well]
and store in the fridge. This way I have an easy way to produce food processor size recipes with
little fuss or bother.
Use about 2 cups of the dry ingredients with 1/4 of the balance [see bracketed amounts to right of
ingredient]
Since it might be difficult to use only 1/4 of a tin of sardines or other fish, I often use the full tin
and then add water slowly to obtain the correct consistency.
I also often add grated cheese and vegetables to this recipe for variety.
Follow the directions for mixing and rolling.

This method takes about 5 minutes or so to mix up and roll out.
Other Tips:
To simplify the cutting into bit sized pieces, I use a pizza cutter. This makes short work of the
chore!
Note: The food processor method makes enough food to last adult Golden about 2 days.

Your Dog’s Health:
Dental Care
I am kind of passionate about my dogs’ teeth. That’s why I thought it would be
good, while on the topic of healthy eating, to cover the care of those chompers
your dog will be eating all this delicious food with.
Joe will hate me for bringing this up, but it’s important. He has always had a bad
breath problem. Aesthetic troubles aside, this usually means one thing when a
kiss from him almost knocks you down: His teeth are in need of attention.
Cleanings are recommended on a fairly regular basis, but they are expensive!
There are ways to cut down on the number of cleanings your dog needs if you
have a good home care regimen.
The next two articles deal with just how you can avoid the bad breath issue while
keeping your dog’s gums and teeth in top shape!
The following information in excerpted from a site you really need to bookmark
on the web. It’s called VeterinaryPartner.Com and is a total resource for
researching various health issues and questions you have about your dog.

THE PET CONNECTION

By Gina Spadafori
Pet Columnist
Brush Away Your Pet's Dental Problems
When I first started writing about the importance of taking care of a pet's teeth, the response
I most often heard was one of astonishment. "I'm supposed to brush my dog's teeth?" pet
lovers would say. "You're kidding, right?"
These days, many pet lovers respond not with surprise, but with guilt. "I know I should brush
my pet's teeth, but I don't because my cat won't put up with it," they say. Or they don't have
time, or they forget.
And so ignorance becomes guilt. Now that's progress! And the next step: good dental health
from the very beginning.
Veterinarians now recommend training kittens and puppies to accept having their teeth
brushed, a job that's not really that hard even with older dogs and cats. Approach the task

with a positive attitude, take it slow and easy, and then follow with something the pet likes --
a play session, petting or even a food treat.
For kittens and puppies, the focus is on training and prevention, but adult pets may need
veterinary attention before a preventive-care program can help. Your veterinarian should
check your pet's mouth, teeth and gums during the annual physical, and make
recommendations based on what he or she finds there. For many pets, that'll mean dentistry
under anesthesia. The procedure takes 45 minutes to an hour, and involves cleaning,
polishing, and checking for and treating broken or rotting teeth, cavities, abscesses and
periodontal disease.
Today's anesthetics are dramatically safer than even a few years ago, making the danger and
pain of untreated dental problems the bigger risk to health, even with older pets.
After the problems are treated, at-home care can keep things in good shape. Here are some
tips:
• Brush or wipe the teeth regularly. Use a toothpaste designed for dogs and cats a
couple of times a week at least, although daily is better. Salt or baking soda isn't
recommended because too much of the salt gets swallowed, and with small pets that
could be a problem. Toothpaste for people is also out, because animals don't know
how to rinse and spit. Pet toothpastes contain enzymes that help dissolve plaque and
don't need to be rinsed. They also have a flavor pets appreciate.
• Use a children's soft toothbrush or one made especially for pets. You can also use
plain gauze wrapped around a finger or a fingertip brush. Some vets suggest that
gauze may work better with cats, especially if dipped in water from some canned tuna.
• Switch to dry food and offer teeth-cleaning toys. Some pet-food companies now offer
kibble with a mild abrasive texture to help keep teeth clean. You might ask your vet
about these if tartar buildup is a chronic problem for your pet.
• Soft chew toys and a chew rope can help keep teeth clean, too. Avoid chews that are
hard or are prone to breaking into sharp pieces. These can break teeth or slice gums.

THE DENTAL CARE SERIES
By Jan Bellows D.V.M. DipAVDC
All Pets Dental Clinic
What would happen if you stopped brushing your own teeth? Even if you only ate
hard food as most dogs do, there still would be problems. You should be brushing
your dog's teeth at least twice weekly, daily if you can manage it. It's not as difficult as
you might imagine.
What are the benefits? Brushing removes the daily accumulation of plaque from the teeth.
Even though dogs do not commonly get cavities, they do suffer from periodontal disease. If
untreated the gum disease can lead to pain and loss of teeth.
How to brush teeth? Step one is to pick an appropriate pet toothbrush. Save yourself time by
not buying a child's toothbrush which is usually too hard for dogs. The ideal dog toothbrush
will have a long handle, an angled head to better fit the mouth and extra soft bristles. Another
option is the finger toothbrush that fits over the tip of your finger.
Step two is to select an appropriate toothpaste. The best pet toothpastes contain enzymes
that help control plaque. Try to avoid toothpastes with baking soda, detergents, or salt
sometimes found in human pastes. Fluoride may be incorporated to help control bacteria.
Rather than placing the paste on top of the brush try to incorporate it between the bristles.
This allows the paste to spend the most time next to the teeth.
Step three-is to get the brush with paste into your dog's mouth and all the teeth brushed.
Most dogs accept brushing if they are approached in a gentle manner. If you can start when
they are young, it's quite easy, but even older pets will accept the process. Start slowly, you
can use a washcloth or piece of gauze to wipe the teeth, front and back in the same manner
you will eventually be using the toothbrush. Do this twice daily for about two weeks and your
dog should be familiar with the approach. Then take the pet toothbrush, soak it in warm water
and start brushing daily for several days. When your dog accepts this brushing, add the pet
toothpaste.
The toothbrush bristles should be placed at the gum margin where the teeth and gums meet
at a 45 degree angle. The movement should be in an oval pattern. Be sure to gently force the
bristle ends into the area around the base of the tooth as well as into the space between the
teeth. Ten short back and forth motions should be completed, then the brush moved to a new
location. Cover three to four teeth at a time. Most attention should be given to the outside of
the upper teeth.
In summary, dog home care should include daily (or at least every other day) brushing using
an enzymatic pet toothpaste. Taking an active role in the care of your dog's dental care will
help reduce dental disease, bad breath and potential life threatening heart and kidney disease.
Every one wins.
