5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Good Book!, March 30, 2007

By	E. Hughes "evenstar7139" (CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The lady that wrote this is an RN that has helped countless women deliver babies. She has since become a dog breeder and has now helped save lots of puppies. She not only tells you what equipment you need but will actually sell it to you herself for what I think is a pretty fair price. She even gives you her e-mail address so you can send her questions through her e-mail. This book comes with a DVD that brings to life what she teaches you how to do in the book. All in all this is the only book that has ever made me feel like I will know what to do when I have a crisis with newborn puppies. In the book this lady says you can reduce your mortality rate by 20%! That's a lot! She says the average amount of puppies that die in infancy is 30% and that you can get it down to 10%. This book is so inexpensive that I think you can't afford to NOT buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Breeders, June 9, 2006

By	L. A. in Wisconsin - See all my reviews

If you breed dogs or are thinking of breeding your dog you need to know all of the emergencies that can occur in the middle of the night when no one or no Vet is available....this book will walk you through those problems...it is no nonsense from a gal (an Intensive care RN)that has been there and done that...it also has an informative...step by step... DVD to illustrate how to tube feed a pup and how to give sub Q fluids.
If it saves the life of even one pup...it was more than worth the price of the book.
We use it at our Hospital and recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puppy Intensive Care - A Must for Breeder Libraries...., April 3, 2007

By	Sandra W. Ling - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the best text I have read in 30 years of dog breeding. Informative and written for the lay-man. The accompanying DVD was frosting on the cake. I would recommend this book for all dog breeders, regardless of experience.
