5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Puppy Raising Advice Book!, September 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Puppy Care & Training: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)

Before I adopted my puppy, I bought several puppy care books, including this one. This book was by far the best. In the section covering "what to expect from your growing pup" the author tells us what to expect from our puppy at different ages throughout puppyhood. She was right on point. I lived by this book when my puppy was growing, and referred back to it when I adopted my second dog. There is also a wonderful section about healthcare and first aid which helps us deal with day to day healthcare issues, and helps identify which matters require a vet's care and which ones can be taken care of at home. I refer back to this book quite often. I have also purchased this book as a gift for several friends and family members as each took a puppy into their family. This book is an indispensible tool in raising a puppy.
