Caring For Your Dog well worth buying January 26, 2009
L. Coyle (USA)
Caring For Your Dog is an excellent book to have if you own a dog, big or small. It has medical references to review in the event that your dog gets sick and it also has many other useful facts and tips about dogs. This 447 pg book is well worth your time and money.
good reference guide November 4, 2008
Emilia Day (Chicago, IL)
If you care about the well being of your pet, you need a guide like this. It has a lot of information concerning different diseases and conditions. It has a section on first aid. It's very informative, and it's a great reference guide. As a heavy internet user, I think this book is number 1 for me, and if I want to know more, I look for supplemental information online. Without this book, it would be more difficult to put information from the net together.
QUITE LIKELY THE BEST BOOK OUT THERE ON THIS SUBJECT. April 14, 2008
D. Blankenship (The Ozarks)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
If you own a dog then you really should have this book on your shelf. If you have only one book concerning the treatment and care of dogs, then this is the one you should own. I wish there were a way to give this one more that five stars. The infomation contained in this volume enhances the ownership of these wonderful animals, can help make their, and your, lives so much better, and can literally save your dogs life.
This work covers everything from selecting your family pet, to diseases, injuries and disorders and what to do about them. There is a wonderful section on first aid and emergencies and absolutely hundresds of tips on the care and treatment of your pet. As has been pointed out, the bulk of this book discusses diseases, injuries and disorders and goes quite indepth in their discussion. The text is quite easy to understand and is not overloaded with technical terms which usual need a different volum just to decypher. There is also a very helpful seciton called "A Successful Partnership" which is suggestions and tips for living with yur dog. Subjects such as training, feeding, lost dogs, care, grooming, etc. are extensively covered.
The photography in this book is wonderful, accurate and fits the text perfectly. I have owned and been with dogs all of my life, actally liking them much better than I like most people. This book, since its publication, has been a constant companion and often used book. I have yet to have a question, not matter how complex or how obscure, that I was not able to find an answer to in this work. Truth be told, there are around 445 pages in this book, and it really should be required reading for everyone before they even think about getting a dog. It should be required reading for anyone who owns a dog at present.
Needless to say, I cannot recommed this one highly enough. It is an absolute must for all dog owners and dog lovers. You simply will not be sory for owning it.
The Complete Dog Book March 22, 2008
S. Czerwinski (Hamburg, Germany)
Before you get a dog, get this book. It is what it says, a Complete Canine Home Reference, perfect for the first-time owner and a good reference book for those who have had dogs before. Read and be enlightened.
A "must have" January 24, 2007
Warrior Princess (Beautiful Northeast Ohio)
This book is a "must have" for any dog owner. It provides simple, yet thorough, explanations of behaviors, symptoms, diseases, etc. If you love your dog like I do, get this book!!
