A money-saver for the conscientious dog owner

By A Customer on January 7, 1998

Format: Hardcover

One of the most difficult tasks for the loving dog owner is deciding when a malady needs a vet's attention. This book helps to make this task easier. As a multiple big dog owner, I can't afford to run to the vet every time one of my dogs is not feeling his or her best. This book allows me to research a malady to help make the important decision: does my dog need to see a vet? This saves me money and gives me peace of mind. It also gives me the information I need to have an educated conversation with my vet about treatments, when and if they are necessary. It's like having an assistant on call 24 x 7.

If you own dogs, you should own this book!

By Mary Jo Sminkey VINE VOICE on December 23, 1999

Format: Hardcover

This is by far the best health care guide for dogs. From the quick index of symptoms on the inside cover, to the great coverage of many diseases and disorders in canines, this is a well-written and easy to understand book, that goes beyond the basics most dog care books give you, without becoming too technical. My vet actually kept one on hand in his office for quick reference.

Peace of mind for all dog owners!

By Leslie T. (lesolie57@aol.com) on November 6, 1999

Format: Hardcover

This book pays for itself 1000 times over! It gives the dog owner peace of mind and also saves thousands of dollars on costly, unecessary trips to the vet. An excellent source of information!

This book is literally a dog "life saver"!! A *must have*...

By A Customer on September 16, 1999

Format: Hardcover

I show and occasionally breed dogs. This book was given to me as a gift a year ago and in that short time it has already *saved* the life of a puppy, correctly diagnosed dog's ailments/problems and given detailed instructions on how to treat them, and was a great tool in preparing for and whelping our last show litter. Beginners can learn so much from this book as well as being an excellent reference for the more "seasoned" dog fancier too. The authors have that special feel for the dog as not only DVM's, but as avid dog lovers, exhibitors and breeders as well. HIGHLY reccomended as a **MUST HAVE** for any dog owner!!!!!

Absolute must for every dog lover...

By Franz N. I. on January 3, 2004

Format: Hardcover

Once in a while a book comes along which in the field of practical applications... is a real treasure. This is one of those books. Full of photos and easy to read text, not to mention helpful advice, "this is it"-- for the dog owner who really cares. It will not turn you completely from being independent of your vet, but it will help in determining which symptoms and cases where you would just have to run to him. For example, in the section "Intestines", it describes the most common irregularities, like diarrhea, the color, consistency, odor, frequency, condition of dog, common causes, and finally the treatment section. And it does not stop there. It will then give related problems about the intestines, from malabsorption syndromes to colitis, obstructions, constipation, voluntary retention, mechanical blockage, damaged nerves, flatulence and coprophagia (yeech!), et.al. And that is just a section, as I said, under Intestines. Whether you have one dog, or several kennels, professional breeder, backyard breeder, or no breeder at all, and just interested in the well-being of man's best friend, it will turn you from a feeling of uncertainty into a confident owner. It's the "leash" you can do.
This revised and expanded edition is one of my prime sources of information regarding the health of my dogs. It will save the owner, as it has saved me from needless worries, (or make it worse, depending really on the personality of the owner), and a lot of expenses. Read it, you'll like it.

Undeniably the best

By nunaya on July 15, 2003

Format: Hardcover

I am continually amazed by the ability of the authors of this book to present clear and pithy, yet absolutely comprehensive, information about what seems to be the entire gamut of doggy afflictions. I have consulted it on numerous occasions and have always found answers, which were later confirmed by my vet. It's not just good science, this book is a model of how to process and present information to a reading audience. It's good stuff.

Major help to us living in rural areas!

By Ilene S on March 31, 1998

Format: Hardcover

It's been a major help in diagnosing problems with my 4 dogs--our nearest vet is 75 miles away and we can't afford to go running everytime a dog is under the weather. I was even able to diagnose a cruciate injury before getting to the vet--and felt better about the vet selecting the best course of treatment! Their book on CATS has been extremely valuable to me too!
