This book is a cute idea for puppy parties, and for an interesting twist of feeding your dog healthy treats. There are many good recipes that you can use to make your furry friend happy. I also liked that the author included information on different healthy foods that are safe for dogs. The images were delicious looking for the "barcuterie" boards, and every canine friend would love to eat.

So many cute and fun ideas for spoiling your furry friends! I got some wonderful ideas. This is a creative book given how much people are focused on their pets and charcuterie!

This was a beautiful book. I just loved all the bright colours. The pictures of the dogs just made me smile. If you love to spoil your pouch, then this book is certainly for you. If you live in the States, then this is the perfect book for you. If you live outside the states like me, some of the ingredients might be slightly more difficult to get hold of. However, I have got a few recipes to try, which I can't wait for. Some sounded that good. I would certainly eat them, lol. I definitely recommend this book if you love to treat your dog like royalty. 

Many thanks to the authors for creating such a wonderful book.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Barkcuterie is a delicious, looking, and healthy, nutritional book of recipes for our precious pet pooches. Each food board is divided up into seasons, which was a great idea. Each food board spread is then accompanied by a photograph, ingredients, supplies needed, and of course instructions and the recipe itself. The instructions and recipes look very simple to follow, and some are even suitable for us humans to share with our furry friends. What I absolutely loved was the photography in this book and the creativity and fun of it, too. At the start, there are several pages that advise the reader on what foods are suitable and healthy for dogs and the foods that are dangerous to them. I knew possibly half of the dangerous ones and really found this to be very beneficial and important to know. This would make a great gift for any dog lover and is such a fun book to have to make treats for your pets.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point, Rock Point for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have to be honest I picked this book up just for some silly fun but was blown away by how creative it was. I love a great charcuterie board so why not one for my dogs. Corgis Olivia and Hammy have a fun cookbook full of board ideas for every holiday and then some. Each of the boards are bright and pretty with unique treats and healthy doggy bites to go on them. I was afraid the recipes would be the boring peanut butter recipe we have all seen before, nope I was wrong again! There are inventive treats like carrot donuts, banana berry biscuits with royal icing, sweet melon bites and so much more, each with easy to follow instructions. All of the beautifully curated barkuterie board recipes offers a list of snack items, supplies and instructions on how to recreate the stunning photo. My dogs will be spoiled and I'm a bit jealous! Fun book!

This is the cutest cookbook I’ve ever seen!! As some one who loves a charcuterie board and is obsessed with my fur babies when I saw “Barkcuterie” I knew I had to check it out! Not only did hammy and olivia pictures make this book for festive but I felt like the board photos provided such great ideas that I would never have though of before. I’m all about finding our good boys healthy treats and I loved that these boards included recipes for healthy homemade treats for every season. I always question what foods they can and can’t halve so I appreciate that the book started off defining safe and unsafe food for dogs. I also loved that at the end it links were the authors bought all their boards so that you could truly recreate them. Nothing is worse than when you have an idea but no way to truly execute it. The book will be a great gift for any other dog lovers or pet parents that love to host.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

I love the idea of a Barkcuteries board, but my fussy dog would not. Except for the broccoli florets she would leave any veggies and fruits behind. The treats however would be fun to make in a half batch (she's 15 pound and dislike the idea of canine friends)

I decided to rate the book from my dogs point of view. Minus the fruits and veggies she would be in heaven with one of these boards.

I am also getting the ingredients for the scones for her birthday snack.

So adorable.
The pictures of the charcuterie boards for pups are vibrant and inspirational and clever.
The recipes are easy and ones I'm sure most dogs would love. I know my three will.
I did appreciate a cat one near the end. I'm always looking for treats I can make my cat.
I received a copy via NetGalley and all opinions are my own.

A great cookbook for any dog owner. TONS of cute and easy recipes for making your own treats for your pups. The pictures of the examples for "boards" were very cute and easy to replicate.

My little puppy princess may or may not be pretty freaking spoiled. Yeah, she's rotten. And for that very reason, she'll be getting some of the fabulous looking goodies from this cookbook! I enjoyed reading through Barkcuterie and planning which items to make first. I finally settled on the carrot donuts which of course necessitate me purchasing a donut pan. Would I do it for my children? Maybe. Will I do it for my pup? Absolutely!

I highly recommend this book. There are fabulous pictures and well organized recipes. The boards that are pictured are well detailed and look fabulous. All in all this book is lovely and the goodies inside look super fun.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I voluntarily chose to review this book and the opinions contained within are my own.

Oh my gosh, Amazing! Barkcuterie deserves five extra stars just for the creativity factor alone! The photos are simply stunning.

Published under the names Hammy and Olivia, actually the authors' dogs names, Barkcuterie is filled with adorable pictures of these two sweet Corgis. Dressed up for each holiday, they're waiting to enjoy their charcuterie oops, I ment Barkcuterie boards!

Cleverly planned around celebration days, the variety in each board will blow your mind. Nutricious and delicious, I think if I put them on the coffee table my guests would eat them too.

I highly recommend Barkcuterie for all dog owners. (And there's even a nod to our feline friends, so they don't feel left out lol.)

Sono molte poche le ricettine, ma sono basate sulla stagionalità e questo mi piace molto.
Foto super carine con cani pucciosi, ma anche gatti! Sì, sono rimasta sorpresa anche io ahahahah pensavo fosse solo un libro per snack da cani, e invece

This is adorable and filled with useful information on making goods suited to your much loved furry pals. Peanut butter biscuit are always a winner, but there are even doggy donuts and frozen blueberry and raspberry yoghurt treats which would be perfect for summer. This is a great resource for any pawrent and their furry charges. The book is so pretty and easy to navigate it would also make a fantastic gift!
