Open the front cover and the first two pages you see contain the Index of Signs and Symptoms, from Abdomen (painful, swollen, distended, and tucked up) to Weight loss, Wheezing, and Whining (continual). There's a comprehensive index in back, of course, running the gamut from Abortion to Zinc-Responsive Dermatosis, which is all very useful, but when your pooch is in pain, it's great to be able to turn, with the minimum of folderol, to the page that says to relax, it's nothing a bit of extra grooming won't fix, or alternatively to hightail it over to the vet hospital. It's a wonderful reference for any dog owner, with chapters on emergencies (such as burns, dehydration, and poisoning), as well as worms, infectious diseases, skin care, and canine eyes, ears, and nose. There are chapters on the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems, the nervous, musculoskeletal, and urinary systems, plus dog sex, whelping, puppy pediatrics, geriatrics, and chapters on cancers and medications. In short, it covers every health dimension a dog owner might want to know more about, identifies the possible causes, helps you determine the severity of the condition, and indicates what treatments or actions to take to best insure your dog's good health. --Stephanie Gold

 Essential! April 19, 2008
I agree with another reviewer --- I rarely classify anything as "must have" but this book should be owned by every dog owner. It has saved us a great deal of money over the years, calmed our nerves, and also sent us to the emergency clinic in time to save a life.
Excellent book. April 5, 2008
After my puppy getting sick for the first time, I was in a rush to get a medical book or two to have on hand. This was an excellent choice. It has so many topics.
fantastic dog owners book. March 31, 2008
This would be the best home owners dog book I have read. Friends have read it and also and agree.It will give them peace of mind when they are not sure what is going on with their dog and when to take them to the vet and possibly save their dogs life. I have no hesitation in recommending this book to all dog owners.
Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook - fourth edition February 11, 2008
A must have for all dog owners!!!!!! Don't wait to get this book - your dog's health may depend on it.
handbook Review February 8, 2008
I have been looking for a book of this type for sometime.
It is easily referenced, and the terminology is very understandable.
Pictures are placed in the right areas, so it does not become confusing,
esp. if there really is an emergency.
