Comprehensive Care for Man's Best Friend,

This review is from: The Complete Dog Owner's Manual (Hardcover)
When most parents expect their babies, the more reponsible ones reach out for information, be that in books, magazines or from their own parents. The reality is you want to learn as much as you can to be prepared to be the best parent you can be.Our family adopted a labrador from a rescue foundation. With the coordination of a wonderful rescue foundation (Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue) we were matched with a perfect labrador for our family. This was my first dog. I have always had cats, so I knew I needed to quickly educate myself. I was fortunate to come across this book sponsored by Iams and found it to be highly informative. The book features the more popular breeds of dogs which I found very handy because dog owners attract dog owners, and your interest begins to expand with each new owner/dog you meet. It was helpful to understand which breeds are compatible with each other and how to introduce your dog to social situations. I needed basic dog obediance guidelines to back up my classes with our dog, and I found their informtion to be very applicable. Not only did the book review nutrition and basic health care requirements, it provided information for grooming, exercise and a general overview of the responsibilities one must assume with ownership of these animals. I realize it doesn't take a rocket scientist to state the obvious when it comes to raising and owning a dog, but when you present the above information with beautiful illustrations and practical advice, you serve to make the experience so much more positive for both dog and owner.

This review is from: The Complete Dog Owner's Manual (Hardcover)
I purchased this book for my daughter for Christmas. She has been checking it out for the school library every chance she gets. The information on caring for a dog seems to be very good.
