Customer Reviews

Great book for emergency care of dogs!

I am a dog walker & ordered this book in case anything ever happened to one of my furry charges. This is a very informative quick guide to help with every possible emergency situation. Highly recommend!

Sportsmans first aid for dogs

Excellent reference for the canine first aid kit. Simplified and practical treatment for your dog out in the field without access to a vet. Can save the life of your dog in an emergency. Small book fits into kit or large jacket pocket, contains specific first aid lists for different outdoor activities with your best friend.

Canine First Aid

Excellent veterinary or animal science text for the first aid care of active pets or sporting dogs. Wide variety of conditions and traumatic injuries discussed with practical treatments and care for each specific situation. Excellent text in a handy, small size for storage in first aid kit or glove compartment. A "must have" for dog owners. High school education reading level.

Very Useful

This was a very useful book and I keep it inside a hunting back pack at all times. This book is definitely worth adding to your canine related library. Along with a quality first aid kit!

For the camping, hiking, traveling, hunting, outdoor dog!

Being a nurse, I take the proverbial "be prepared" to extremes, but when you are camping hundreds of miles away from the nearest emergency health care facility, you must be educated to handle most emergencies of your family members.Well, DON"T FORGET THE DOGWe just adopted a wonderful black labrador, and being a busy outdoor kind of family I needed a concise, handy, well rounded emergency care manual for my little boy, Abbott. I researched and decided on this pocket field guide that is perfect for carrying on your outdoor excursions. I am pleased with the content and find the directions easy to follow, even for a lay person uneducated in medicine. Hopefully, my dog will never need emergent care, but I feel better knowing and gathering the knowledge needed to be there for him if the need becomes reality. Buy this book and put together a first aid kit for your dog. His life could depend on it.

The best, clearest, most useful first aid book out there.

I've reviewed many first aid books in my search. This is the clearest, most practical canine first aid book I've found. Most books read "take dog to nearest vet", this isn't always possible and this book covers what to do in those situations using clear text and precise pictures. Essential for anyone who takes their dog anywhere (even those dogs who just go to the park and back), but essential for dogs who go hiking, camping, travelling, kayaking, etc with their humans; anywhere you wouldn't be able to reach a vet within 20 minutes. Keep one in your car's glove box, the dog's backpack (along with a portable first aid kit), and one at home.
