About the author

Martina Schops is a pastry chef who has worked in high-class international gastronomy and hotels for many years. Also, she has always lived with dogs -- she got her first dog when she was five. When her own dog Lotte reacted with allergies to commercially available dog treats, she began to bake her own allergen-free treats for Lotte that did not contain any additives, colorants or wheat flour. Lotte loved them and she began to bake treats for friends as well. Over the time, making fine dog cookies became a business of its own and she is now, together with her husband, running her own bakery Schops Fine Food for Dogs and Cats with a monthly production of approximately 2,500 pounds of dog cookies. From her professional experience, it is easy for her to think up and test new recipes for healthy treats that dogs love. Martina is now accompanied by two cats and Dr. Watson, a beautiful Elo Dog who figures on the book cover.
