Helped me keep my sanity while helping my best friend! July 13, 2000

This is one of the more recent and thorough books on skin problems in dogs. Incidentally, skin problems are the most common problem for canines. The book is laid out like an encyclopedia by technical name of problem. It shows pictures of severe cases of many problems, and lists the most common problems by breed. The useful appendices allow you to cross reference your information to be sure you've uncovered all that you can.Although I would never try to diagnose my own pet, while getting to the root of my Labrador's skin problem (which was a series of severe inhalant allergies), it helped me check up on my vet, ask intelligent questions, and find a fantastic specialist to finally relieve his symptoms. I have broken in the binder on this book as I refer to it constantly, and have many friends call to have me help them find information.
