The Complete Healthy Dog Handbook: The Definitive Guide to Keeping Your Pet Happy, Healthy & Active

This book is my "go to" care nook for my doggies. I've owned dogs most of my life and have even managed 2 pet stores. It's detailed, shows care, feeding, health management, and details on specific health issues that can come up, and what to look for in even your specific breed (s) of dogs.I cannot say enough, but I will tell you it is profusely filled with detailed pictures of conditions, questions this vet commonly and uncommonly has run into, and how to care for, and seek out the treatments needed for either a seriously ill dog. Cancer types and treatment protocols are in general discussed, as well as how to care for an elderly dog and what to expect ad your furry care gets older. Even end of life issues are discussed, as is guidance in what to look for in dog insurance should you choose to go that route. Now, go get this book and feel comfortable with its purchase. I have not been given anything to say all this. I just love pets and want them all to live full lives!

I've been wanting this book for quite sometime, finally ordered it and I am not disappointed. It's written so well, by a vet, with so much information to help keep your pets healthy and well. I was particularly interested in the information on seizures since my small dog has had a few small ones, and recently a grand mal. I've learned a lot, and had lots of questions for my vet. This book is worth having around. My little dog has kept me hopping in the past couple of months, even getting into chocolate at Christmas. Never had a dog do that. He didn't get enough to hurt him, but he did swallow a lot of the plastic packaging. This book will just give you a heads-up on what to do if an emergency arises, and lots of helpful ideas.

This book is like a medical encyclopedia for dogs. It's set up so you can look up whatever issue your dog is having easily and get good information. I think all dog owners would benefit from having this on their bookshelf.

well organized - excellent reference book. I use this book at home and in the car - a phone app would be a nice lighter way to carry information when i backpack with my dog.

I was given this book as a gift a few years ago and refer to it all the time. It's easy to read and offers great insight into most behavioral & health issues. I keep it on my coffee table and often times just glance through it because I find it so interesting. I even offfer up advice every now and then to my friends who have dogs! I like this book so much that I recently just ordered it for a fellow dog owner friend of mine. It's a book I feel that all dog owners should have. Buy it, you will be happy you did!

I have owned 5 dogs in my life time now. I wish I had this book from the get-go. It contains all you need to know about minor illness or trauma and how to react and fix. It also explains when to see the vet immediately or not, which is awesome. I spent too many nights in the $100/hr PET ER when I could have waited but just didn't know any better. AND I also know how to identify major illness that needs medical attention right away. PLUS - Did you know dogs shouldn't eat grapes!?!?! Never knew.... If you love your dogs, get this book. Well worth the price for this book!

This is a book every dog owner should have. It contains tons of great medical and overall health info. I reference it if I see anything different with my dog, such as when my dog had an ear infection last fall. I knew what he had before the vet swabbed his ear and told me it was a fungal infection in his ear. It even talked about putting flea and tick medicine on your dog and why it says to wash it off immediately if you get any on your own skin. The reason behind that might be different than you'd think. I like it because you can make a better decision on when and when not to take your dog to the vet. I highly recommend this.

Very educational for me, a new puppy owner. I found the GI section helpful when my pup has diarrhea. Easy to understand yet comprehensive. I will be able to refer to this book as my dog gets older and has other ailments.

This is a great book to have if you have a dog

Very well written interesting book. A must for all dog owners.

will use this for future illnesses of my dog

Perfect book
