This user-friendly reference is divided into two sections. The first section, "Signs of Diseases and Health Problems A–Z" lists symptoms alphabetically. To find the appropriate information, the reader doesn't need to name the medical condition or system, only to describe the symptom. This first section is cross-referenced with the second part, "Treatment of Diseases and Health Problems A–Z," in which symptoms are associated with invaluable veterinary advice–causes, diagnoses, and appropriate treatment. Additional information on canine anatomy, first aid and advice on when to seek professional veterinary care is included.

From the Inside Flap

The A–Z of Dog Diseases and Health Problems is an essential reference for all dog owners, ranging from the specialised breeder with large kennels to the family who own just one dog. The aim of the book is to help dog owners to recognise the signs of illness, to identify the problem, and then to take the appropriate action. The first section of the book looks at health and husbandry, describing the signs of a healthy dog, feeding, grooming and exercise routines, plus extensive coverage of breeding dogs. The section concludes with when to call the veterinary surgeon and simple first aid measures. The second section is concerned with the Signs of Diseases and Health Problems, describing signs of ill health and the possible causes. This is cross-referenced to Section III — the Treatment of Diseases and Health Problems, This is a detailed A–Z listing of diseases and health problems, highlighting the signs, the causes and the treatment for each condition. Illustrated throughout with top-quality photographs, this is the first time a veterinary book has been made wholly accessible to the lay person, allowing every responsible owner to take the best possible care of their dog.

5.0 out of 5 stars A dog heath manual essential for owners
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2000

We just adopted a 2 year old black lab named Abbott. My husband has always grown up with dogs, but, not me. I have had cats, and this was all new to me!
So, it was time to get precise information, and this book is essential for dog owners. The books deals with signs and symptoms, diagnosis, causes of disease, and treatments. The handy format is easy to use and is concise. All types of breeds are discussed, which I found very interesting. The disease pathology is professional and informative enough to satisfy consultation.
A must for new and old time dog owners!

4.0 out of 5 stars Family Reading for New Dog Owners
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2002
We were contemplating dog adoption. We filled out papers, purchased food and dog items. Once we were at the counter, we learned that the dog had some form of skin irritation and it had to go to the VET before we could adopt. WOW! This made us think we really needed to learn more about dog illnesses. We got the book! The reference that refers to female dogs (Bxtch) had to be explained to our young son's. Therefore, the book doesn't seem to be for everyone. Although, it is very informative.
