By "4johnson" (Lake Village, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A New Veterinary Guide for Animal Owners: Cattle-Goats-Sheep-Horses-Pigs-Poultry-Rabbits-Dogs-Cats (Hardcover)
This book more than paid for itself in the first 15 minutes of reading. As the owner of 2 cows, 3 cats, 7 dogs, & 8 goats, I have been using this book as my animal bible. It's written in terms that everyone can understand and the directions are clear and precise. It's saved me many calls and visits to my vet. This is a MUST HAVE book for every pet or animal owner.

Excellent Reference,
By tbird77 "tbird77" (Ithaca, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A New Veterinary Guide for Animal Owners: Cattle-Goats-Sheep-Horses-Pigs-Poultry-Rabbits-Dogs-Cats (Hardcover)
At our house, you never know what the kids will bring home next or the parents for that matter. This book has been a quick reference on any new species introduced to our household as far as domesticated animals---we do have a gecko and unfortuately there is no info on exotics in this book. It has become a well worn book as we thumbed through finding answers to problems and also on ways to prevent future problems. We have 3 cats, 2 dogs, a bunch of chickens(cochins and silkies), 2 pigs, a pygmy goat, a shetland sheep and an African Fat tailed Gecko so we needed a book that would cover a lot and this has answered many questions. It has more than paid for itself----if it saves just one vet visit!

I recently checked this book out from the library, and now I must have a copy of my own. I have recently started raising show pigs, and believe me this book will help alot. I have already learned some neat things, and look forward to learning more.
