Review: Too much grain

While I appreciate the research and care that the author obviously put into this book, I must admit I was disappointed and put off by the heavy use of grains, especially wheat flour, that I found in the recipes.  Dogs are even less capable of digesting grains and gluten products than humans are.  Having so much of each recipe taken up with grains  - easily 50% of each meal consists of grains or flour - defeats the purpose of making this food at home.  Grains are used as "fillers", something that adds bulk, and isn't expensive.  You can find a variety of superior quality canned dog foods that have little to no grain included, simply by reading the labels or using your web browser.  I cannot use these recipes.  If I go to the time and effort of preparing my own foods, I won't use a main ingredient that is detrimental to the best health interests of my dogs.
