Review:

The recipes in this book are aimed at your pet, but a lot of them are suitable for their humans as well. I was a bit disappointed in the board shown included mostly bought treats, versus ones in the book (average 1 to 5 per board). The recipes mostly have ingredients that you already have in the pantry (chia seeds may not be ones you have), and are suitable for all year round treats. The boards all include veggies and fruits, which may be items that your pup may not be fond of, so you would need to substitute those items. It's a fun idea, and for those who love their own cheese/meat boards, this will be a fun idea to have for their pets. It's a fun Christmas gift idea as well, just add a couple of fun dog centric cookie cutters, for a fun gift for the dog lover on your list.

About the 'authors':

Hammy & Olivia are social media’s favorite “talking dogs.” Their family-centric, everyday-relatable shenanigans are sure to make you laugh or do an eye roll. Within one year, Hammy opened his own takeout cafe, and Olivia never misses an opportunity to voice her displeasure in any given situation.
