While there is a glut of information regarding all other onboard concerns, we have found a paucity of timely and accurate information regarding the care and transportation of animals at sea. Enter Diana Jessie, who brings to this comprehensive and much needed work not only the depth of her 130,000 sea miles and 22 years of live-aboard life, but also her abiding love and respect for animals. Boiled down to its core, her message is that to bring our four-footed friends onboard is not only a joy, but also a responsibility. She meticulously equips us to meet this responsibility with valuable information and advice regarding the selection, care, transportation and importation of shipboard animals. She exudes a heartwarming enthusiasm for her subject, and executes her important duties in an organized, ship-shape and Bristol fashion. Cruising with Your Four-Footed Friends deserves a prominent space on every nautical bookshelf.

Not what I expected

Well written, but did not answer all my cat questions.

There were many stories (some sad) but not as much information as I thought would be in book.

Informative, but I still need to research some of my questions.

Rare resource for onbiard information

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2007

This book is a rare resource for those wanting to know more about the concerns and rewards of having a pet aboard. I found the information contained in this book very useful, especially the hints about port entry requirements for those with a pet. Anyone considering life on the water with their furry friends will appreciate this as a solid reference book.
