3.0 out of 5 stars
Ok, but not the best,
By Felix L. Martinez (San Pedro Sula, Cortes Honduras) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Home Pet Grooming (Pet Reference Books) (Paperback)
The book has usefull information, for example the steps you should follow in washing your dog or cat, but is very vague in the cuts for specific breeds. This book is perfect as an introduction for a more complete guide to grooming pets.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not exactly what I wanted,
By Lee Rowan (San Francisco Bay Area USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Home Pet Grooming (Pet Reference Books) (Paperback)
I was looking for a book to give grooming and clipping information that I could use on my mixed breed dog. This book does include some information on those subjects (maybe 20 pages on clipping) but not enough for me to feel comfortable clipping my dog.The majority of this book (over 40 pages) is devoted to skin disorders and how to treat them. Perhaps this will be useful later but it was not really what I was looking for.

This review is from: Guide to Home Pet Grooming (Pet Reference Books) (Paperback)
Got a Shih Tzu and wanted to know how to groom him in order to save money. Learned nothing I didn't already know. No guidance on how to trim a Shih Tzu. So, threw it away and took Max to the groomer.
