Poodle vet guide

Very helpful, wish it was more up to date. I did not ask published date

Excellent reference book on poodle health

This is an excellent medical reference book for poodle owners, but it is rather technical and clinical. Information is arranged alphabetically by topic, so it can sometimes be difficult to find what you are looking for if you don't already know the exact, sometimes medical, term. This is by no means a how-to guide for raising and caring for poodles, nor does it purport itself to be such a book. If your veterinarian mentions a specific condition or you hear about something afflicting another breed and wonder if it is something that can affect poodles (e.g., tracheal collapse), there is no better resource than this book. It also does a very good job of contrasting conditions and their effects on poodles of various sizes. When you know the condition, it is easy to learn about the symptoms; if you are observing symptoms in your poodle, though, it is not altogether easy to find what conditions the symptoms might point to. Thus, as wonderful as this book is, it is not a practical guide for keeping your poodles healthy. For this reason, I do not believe this is a book that all poodles' humans should rush out and buy. A pet first aid book is much more practical and potentially life-saving, and the clinical presentation of the information in this medical manual will probably put off a good many people. Breeders will find this book much more useful than typical poodle owners will.

Poodle Breeder

The best book on Poodles I have found. Great book for new owners and those that love poodles. A must for anyone considering breeding. Informatiom is easy to read and understand. Contains all medical info in one book.

Poodle Owners Medical Manual

I was very impressed with the depth and extensive subject matter of this medical manual. Presented in an easily readable format, it addresses everything from toxic household items to serious medical conditions. It was a wealth of information for me as a novice poodle owner and I feel would also be an excellent reference for the more experienced owner as well. I do wish that it was available in hard copy as my standard puppy found the cover to be quite tasty and I am therefore ordering another copy (which will be secured on a high shelf).

Informative book on genetic problems with Poodles.

Great reference book on understanding the problems that can arise with your Poodle and help you understand the different remedies that your vetenarian might suggest.
