Four Paws at the Table: The Guide to Managing Your Dog’s Diet Mindfully with Recipes, Tips, and Curiosities

Alice dedicates her life to her greatest loves: food and animals, convinced that nutrition is one of the fundamental pillars for the well-being of our four-legged friends. As a nutritionist, she believes there is no better way to care for those we love than through food; as a veterinarian, she knows well the anxiety of owners who see their dog eating something different from usual without knowing what effects it might have on their health.
This small manual provides all the guidance needed to eliminate that fear. It is aimed at anyone who wants to manage their pet’s meals with greater peace of mind at every stage of their growth, also guiding owners in choosing the best diet for their dog’s needs: commercial, homemade, mixed, grain-free, or BARF.
The book is divided into a theoretical section, exploring the mechanisms behind proper canine nutrition, and a practical section, full of DIY recipes to keep dogs healthy and energetic without sacrificing taste and variety. You will find simple and quick meals, as well as tasty treats for special occasions — who wouldn’t want to offer their dog an ice cream or a slice of cake? — and discover tips for making the best use of lick mats and other mentally stimulating toys.
Finally, Alice answers the questions most frequently asked by her patients’ owners: “Can my dog eat cat food?”, “Why is it important to brush their teeth?”, “Is it normal that they’re always hungry?” — along with many other curiosities about the strangest, and sometimes admittedly embarrassing, eating habits of these voracious but irreplaceable companions.
Four Paws at the Table is the guide that makes their lives healthier and happier, simplifying daily life for those who love and care for them.
