As the two-legged mom of 3 potbelly pigs, the oldest of which is now 10, I find this book a wonderful wealth of information that every care-giver of pet pigs should have on hand. Laid out in a very easy to use format, this book will take you from the history of where potbellied pigs came from; help you decide if a pet pig is right for your family (as they are not for just anyone); and then moves on into what to look for when choosing a pet pig; how be be prepared for it's homecoming and the proper living environment required for these special little pigs; the medical need-to-know information that is specific to pet pigs; along with various other chapters which will put you and your companion pig on the road to a happy, healthy and long relationship. Information on pet pigs and their care is sparse at best. This valuable text helps fill that void in the pet pig market and I promise you'll have many pages dog-earred or marked with post-its by the time you're done reading it. No pet pig home should be without The Complete Guide for the Care and Training of Pet Potbellied Pigs.

Wonderful book. Helped quite a bit. Only problem is the binding fell apart and the pages were all loose. Most likely a problem with who ever is paid to glue the book together. I needed the book or I wouldve returned it.

This book has been so helpful to me that I carry it everywhere I go. I only have one pig, Sidney Spareribs but he is very grateful to Kathleen Myers I am sure. When we got Sidney I looked at lots of information with regards to care and training but I found this book to be the most informative, and easy to understand.

This book has the answer to any question that you are ever likely to have regarding the well being of a Potbellied Pig.

And it goes over training as well....and I see behavior. The all in one book? If so, then I will wait for it to restock. Thank you!

This book covers all information that I required to care for a potbellied pig. Highly recommended
