Customer Reviews

Read this if you have a pet!

If only I had found this book the first two years of companionship of my lovable, demanding and (fortunately) non-shedding friend! I learnt so much from this excellent book -- things I had to learn by trial and error and after several vet visits. I particulary liked the chapter on the digestive system as my dog has a sensitive stomach. A nice gift book for a pet lover.

An absolute MUST for all dog and cat owners

This is a practical, easy-to-understand and comprehensive manual for dog and cat owners, written by a veterinarian who obviously loves animals. He illustrates his points with very interesting anecdotes from his many years of practice. The book covers basic information (choosing a pet and choosing a vet, training, feeding, vaccinations, and what exactly happens when you leave your pet for surgery or tests at the vet's office. The second half covers all the major illnesses and problems that can be encountered and what to do. There are loads of helpful tips (i.e. that chocolate is poisonous for dogs and cats, that Tylenol is equally poisonous, what to do if your cat eats thread or string, etc.) This delightful book is written in a style that blends Dr. Spock (for pets, of course), with James Herriott. Highly recommended.
