Product Description
This user-friendly reference is divided into two sections. The first section, "Signs of Diseases and Health Problems A–Z" lists symptoms alphabetically. To find the appropriate information, the reader doesn't need to name the medical condition or system, only to describe the symptom. This first section is cross-referenced with the second part, "Treatment of Diseases and Health Problems A–Z," in which symptoms are associated with invaluable veterinary advice–causes, diagnoses, and appropriate treatment. Additional information on canine anatomy, first aid and advice on when to seek professional veterinary care is included.

Family Reading for New Dog Owners December 13, 2002
dbd14 (USA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
We were contemplating dog adoption. We filled out papers, purchased food and dog items. Once we were at the counter, we learned that the dog had some form of skin irritation and it had to go to the VET before we could adopt. WOW! This made us think we really needed to learn more about dog illnesses. We got the book! The reference that refers to female dogs (Bxtch) had to be explained to our young son's. Therefore, the book doesn't seem to be for everyone. Although, it is very informative.
 A-Z of Nothing? August 6, 2001
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book was written in the U.K. and I found the writing is slanted toward information not pertaining as much to breeds in the U.S. The book was filled with grammatical and typographical errors, and it is out-of-date for anyone ordering in the year 2000 or later. The A-Z descriptions were trite, and I was unable to find many things I was looking for, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease and other current diagnoses. Sadly, this book was of no help to me.
 A dog heath manual essential for owners September 5, 2000

We just adopted a 2 year old black lab named Abbott. My husband has always grown up with dogs, but, not me. I have had cats, and this was all new to me!So, it was time to get precise information, and this book is essential for dog owners. The books deals with signs and symptoms, diagnosis, causes of disease, and treatments. The handy format is easy to use and is concise. All types of breeds are discussed, which I found very interesting. The disease pathology is professional and informative enough to satisfy consultation. A must for new and old time dog owners!
excellent book. November 27, 1999

Even if you are a long time dog owner, this book will educate you on some complex health problems of our canine friends. Would recommend for all canine owners.
