Dog Food Recipe Book

Note: It’s important to consult your veterinarian

before making any changes to your dog’s diet,
especially if they have specific health conditions
or dietary needs. These recipes are meant to be
general guidelines and can be adjusted based on
your dog’s size, age, and health requirements.

Remember to introduce new foods gradually and

monitor your dog’s reactions. If you notice any
digestive issues or allergies, discontinue the new
food, and consult your vet.

Additionally, always make sure to provide fresh

water for your dog and maintain portion control
based on their calorie needs and activity level.

We would like to
express our gratitude to
the Saladmaster family
for providing recipes
for this book. We are
excited to collect more
content for Volume 2!

Hello fellow dog lovers!
Our furry friends deserve the best, and the food we give them plays a
critical role in their health. Cooking healthy meals for your dog is the
optimal way to feed them, as it helps with weight control, allows us to
cater to our dog’s specific health needs, helps manage allergies, and
allows for control of ingredient quality.

Did you know that over 56% of dogs in the United States are overweight or
obese?* That’s more than half of our canine companions! In Canada, the
situation isn’t much better, with around 50% of dogs being overweight
or obese. Obesity in dogs can lead to severe health problems that
can impact their quality of life and shorten their lifespan. Moreover,
treating diet-related diseases can be costly, with pet owners in the U.S.
spending a whopping $29.3 billion on veterinary care in 2019.**

To keep our dogs healthy and our wallets happy, cooking healthy meals
for them is the best option. Cooking for your dog allows you to control
the ingredients and ensure they’re getting the right balance of nutrients
without unhealthy additives that are often found in commercial dog
food. Plus, it can be a lot cheaper than buying specialty dog food.

Investing time and effort into understanding what goes into your dog’s
bowl can have a significant impact on their health and your wallet.

Let’s give our furry friends

the best we can offer them!
