Book Description
This is an update of the classic work, The Urban Dog, fully revised to take into account new concerns and research that have come to light since the book was first published by Bantam in the mid-1980s. The book provides expert tips on selecting a dog appropriate for your lifestyle, as well as caring for its maximum health and well being. It shows you how to accommodate your dog comfortably in a small space, how to provide the best exercise in a limited amount of space and time, how to spot mental and physical health problems, and how to make life for yourself and your canine companion as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. There is information on the different needs of different breeds, advice on adopting from shelters, suggestions on urban etiquette for walking and cleaning up after your dog,and for what to do when meeting other dogs with their human companions. Illustrated with pictures of dogs interacting with other dogs, people, and the city around them, City Dog is an invaluable guide for any city dweller who lives, or hopes to live, with a canine companion.

 Really Good Book January 1, 2003
This is a neat book. It affirms the choice of having a dog in the city and dispels a lot of the "dogs are happier in the country" mythology. It also tells you what to do to make your dog a good urban citizen, traits missing from so many of the dogs in our neighborhood -- aggressive, overbarking, impinging on the general peace and quiet. All of which backlash in overbearing city dog ordinances. This is a good, comprehensive health and positive attitude book for city dog owners.
 Selecting a dog which would be best suited September 14, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
City Dog: Choosing And Living Well With A Dog In Town by animal expert Patricia Curtis is a very useful and highly recommended guide to selecting a dog which would be best suited to a particular living accommodation and lifestyle. City Dog is to be commended for its wealth of tips, tricks, and techniques for exercising one's pet in a city environment, adopting dogs from shelters, urban pet etiquette, and a great deal more, all presented in a "reader friendly" manual written especially for the non-specialist general reader in search of a suitable canine companion.
