Dog parents have been waiting for a book like this for a long time!

Cooking for your Best Friend

What's inside

Cooking for your Best Friend takes dog parents on a journey to discover the joys of cooking for their dogs. The book promotes a natural omnivorous diet for dogs, supplementing quality kibble with high-quality protein, fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs to optimise their overall health and well-being. The book includes dozens of tried and tested recipes that are easy enough for newbie cooks to make.

Rikki’s own experiences as a dog-mom shaped the foundation for the health and wellness side of the book – and dog parents who want a go-to resource that will help them make informed decisions about their dog’s health will appreciate the helpful trouble-shooting guides, basic first aid, and emergency help in the health chapters. The extensive dog health section proactively promotes regular home health checks so that pet parents can monitor the health of their dogs and be able to detect potential issues sooner rather than later.

Although there are many varieties of convenient, commercial dog foods on the market providing balanced nutrition, there’s no doubt that freshly prepared homemade meals provide a diet that’s varied, nutritious, and wholesome. Dogs have evolved alongside us humans for thousands of years and, as the global food revolution gains momentum and more people choose a healthy whole-food diet, it’s probably the right time to include our dogs in the movement!
