“As a dedicated supporter of Raw/home-made feeding, I am delighted to recommend Jeanette's book. Whilst everyone's methodology and preferences may differ, our common goal is to see happy, healthy dogs and educated, empowered owners who are confident in their choices. This book is easy to follow, detailed and informative (without lecturing) and supports the reader on their journey to discovering better healthy options. ”
Lesley Newcombe, long time raw feeder.
“This book is for all dog lovers who want to care for their dog the best they can! While we exercise and play with our dogs, often we pass off feeding our canine friends to the store-bought brands. The biggest lesson I learned from this book is that store bought dog food meets a standard but, in general, only the minimum of that standard. We can do better! This book rectifies this problem by giving you SIMPLE and TIME EFFECTIVE recipes to help give your dog the best nutrition you can. The recipes are cheap and some of them you can cook while you are making your own meal. Your doggy friend will thank you for making the food in this book! ”

Jeanette Gower is also a long-time dog lover from South Australia, with decades of hands-on experience working closely with dogs of all breeds. Her experience with dogs began early. At just eight years old, she was already attending obedience classes with her first Shetland Sheepdog. That early love for training and connection continued through life. She has bred Shetland Sheepdogs and raised a variety of dogs over the years, including Italian Greyhounds, Cattle Dogs, retired Greyhounds, and a lively Dachshund or two. Her background spans a lifetime of animal husbandry, not only with dogs, but also as a respected breeder of horses and published author in the equine world. Jeanette’s insights come from the paddock, the kitchen, and the show world. In 1999, she wrote the widely acclaimed book Horse Colour Explained, which published in over 30 countries, and had a Dutch translation. In 2023, she published her second book, The Thinking Horse Breeder: A Comprehensive Guide to Successful Horse Breeding.
