Customer Reviews

excellent reference book for dog owners

This is one of many books I borrowed from the library when I adopted a dog. Of all the books I read, this was the one I had to own for myself. It is well organized, written for the typical pet owner, and has information that is important and interesting.

Nice

This book contains very simple and necessary knowledge about dogs, if you purchase this book, you'll love it.

Useful, quick but very thorough reference

Excellent choice! The first few pages tell you about dogs in general, following this with one page of information on each breed (seperating small, medium & large breeds). Then the main thrust of the book is on dog care, which is very helpful, such as what to look for before buying your dog (ex. examining ears, eyes, mouth, body, posture), the vaccination schedule, emergency treatment (choking, CPR, shock), nutrition, toys, collars/leashes, grooming/bathing (which brushes/combs), fleas/ticks, worms (chart to compare them & symptoms), diseases. I ordered a few books on dogs & this is my favorite.
