Crazy Dog Writes The Book On Cooking for Pets! 

SAN RAMON, CA – The Crazy Pet Press announces the publication of Crazy Dog’s first children’s book, The Crazy Kids Guide to Cooking For Your Pet.  The book includes quick and simple recipes children can make for dogs and cats, such as Frozen Pup-Cakes (cheese “cups” filled with dog food and frosted with peanut butter) and Mice-A-Roni (rice with peas, cat food, and tuna or sardines “if you can’t find canned mice”). 

When interviewed in his test kitchen, Crazy Dog had this to say about his book: “Pets are tired of eating plain old pet food. We long for home cooking. My recipes are so easy, even a child can make them.” 

Many of the recipes contain ingredients like oatmeal and peanut butter that children and pets can share. The book is also packed with cartoons, jokes, animal care tips and fun things kids can do with their pets. 

In keeping with Crazy Pet’s edutainment mission, The Crazy Kids Guide to Cooking For Your Pet is based on The Back Bones of Character.  By showing kids how they can have fun while caring for their pets responsibly, the book instills values like Sharing and Dependability.

Thanks to this winning “recipe” of entertainment, character-building and originality, The Crazy Kids Guide To Cooking For Your Pet has won praise from nationally known pet professionals and media personalities. Dr. Marty Becker, DVM, author of the best-selling Chicken Soup For The Pet Lovers Soul and veterinarian-commentator on ABC's Good Morning America, has this to say about the book: "Like a hungry pet, I sat down and engulfed the contents of THE CRAZY KIDS GUIDE TO COOKING FOR YOUR PET in a single setting.  It was that easy to digest, that yummy to read, and so much fun going down.  I laughed and learned--page by page--and was so delighted at the edutainment format, I was happier than a dog with two tails!"

The cookbook’s publication gives all Crazy Pet licensees something to wag their tails about, said Howard Finelt, COO for Crazy Pet LLC.  “The book and the national media publicity it generates will create great exposure for the Crazy Pet property.  This will give the brand a higher profile, which will benefit all of our licensees and their products.”

Translated to “human language” by mother-daughter team Barbara and Missy Denzer, and colorfully illustrated by Manny Rodriguez, The Crazy Kids Guide To Cooking For Your Pet is available for $14.95 retail through groomers, pet stores, gift shops or from The Crazy Pet Press.
