From Library Journal
This is a valuable book not only for those who have more than one pet but also for those with a single pet or an interest in getting a pet. Focusing on cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits, Miller, an animal lover and caretaker-companion of multiple pets, discusses combinations of either the same or different species and explains how harmony among different kinds of pets can be maintained in the home. She details their introduction into the home, care and feeding, health considerations, socialization, hazards to avoid, and how to be considerate of neighbors. She also offers advice to pet owners moving to a new home or who have to leave their pets alone for extended periods. Her appendix lists numerous healthcare and breed organizations for further information on specific animal species and birds. The annotated bibliography details other useful publications on animal care in general and specific animal pets. For all pet care collections.?A. Louis Shor, DVM, Veterinary Consultant, Mt.
