One of the best books on the market!
This book is my “go to” care nook for my doggies. I’ve owned dogs most of my life and have even managed 2 pet stores. It’s detailed, shows care, feeding, health management, and details on specific health issues that can come up, and what to look for in even your specific breed (s) of dogs.I cannot say enough, but I will tell you it is profusely filled with detailed pictures of conditions, questions this vet commonly and uncommonly has run into, and how to care for, and seek out the treatments needed for either a seriously ill dog. Cancer types and treatment protocols are in general discussed, as well as how to care for an elderly dog and what to expect ad your furry care gets older. Even end of life issues are discussed, as is guidance in what to look for in dog insurance should you choose to go that route. Now, go get this book and feel comfortable with its purchase. I have not been given anything to say all this. I just love pets and want them all to live full lives!

Very good book.
I’ve been wanting this book for quite sometime, finally ordered it and I am not disappointed. It’s written so well, by a vet, with so much information to help keep your pets healthy and well. I was particularly interested in the information on seizures since my small dog has had a few small ones, and recently a grand mal. I’ve learned a lot, and had lots of questions for my vet. This book is worth having around. My little dog has kept me hopping in the past couple of months, even getting into chocolate at Christmas. Never had a dog do that. He didn’t get enough to hurt him, but he did swallow a lot of the plastic packaging. This book will just give you a heads-up on what to do if an emergency arises, and lots of helpful ideas.

Great resource
This book is like a medical encyclopedia for dogs. It’s set up so you can look up whatever issue your dog is having easily and get good information. I think all dog owners would benefit from having this on their bookshelf.
roadrunner –
excellent reference book
well organized – excellent reference book. I use this book at home and in the car – a phone app would be a nice lighter way to carry information when i backpack with my dog.

A Dog Owner’s Bible!
I was given this book as a gift a few years ago and refer to it all the time. It’s easy to read and offers great insight into most behavioral & health issues. I keep it on my coffee table and often times just glance through it because I find it so interesting. I even offfer up advice every now and then to my friends who have dogs! I like this book so much that I recently just ordered it for a fellow dog owner friend of mine. It’s a book I feel that all dog owners should have. Buy it, you will be happy you did!

Awesome Book
This is a book every dog owner should have. It contains tons of great medical and overall health info. I reference it if I see anything different with my dog, such as when my dog had an ear infection last fall. I knew what he had before the vet swabbed his ear and told me it was a fungal infection in his ear. It even talked about putting flea and tick medicine on your dog and why it says to wash it off immediately if you get any on your own skin. The reason behind that might be different than you’d think. I like it because you can make a better decision on when and when not to take your dog to the vet. I highly recommend this.

Great book for dog owners
Very educational for me, a new puppy owner. I found the GI section helpful when my pup has diarrhea. Easy to understand yet comprehensive. I will be able to refer to this book as my dog gets older and has other ailments.
A Reader from PA –
it is great to have something on-hand
Even though there is a plethora of info on the internet about dogs, it is great to have something on-hand. My luck my dog will get sick one day when the power is out and the vet is closed. That is just my luck!! Knock on wood!! But this is great for knowing when you probably should call the vet and what might just be a little blip. Also, the internet sometimes does not always have ‘good’ info, so it is good to hear info from an actual person in the field!! Glad to have this, timeless thorough info.
