Great reference, newest information February 5, 2002
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is a must for any pet owner. I have an extensive collection of pet health books, and most of them do not contain the new, state-of-the-art medical and technological options that this one does. In addition to the newest information available, the book is inspiring for any pet owner facing illness, as various treatment options are easily explained in detail. It is also a terrific book to review before a veterinary visit so appropriate issues and questions can be addressed.
Invaluable Resource! January 26, 2002

Amy D. Shojai is the author of 16 pet books, and a nationally known writer of pet care and behavior topics. In Shojai's latest book, PET CARE IN THE NEW CENTURY, [she] interviewed nearly 100 experts ... including members of the ACVS, ACVIM, and other speciality colleges. Never before has the veterinary profession been able to offer such amazing medical treatments and such a high level of preventative care. "I am amazed that a person can create a book that covers all aspects of modern veterinary care," says Robert A. Taylor, DVM, ACVS. "This book will prove to be an invaluable resource to companion animal lovers, students and the profession."

0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Shojai interviewed nearly 100 experts for the 315-page book, including many members of American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM), and other speciality colleges. Chapters discuss how modern medicine builds on past success; the way veterinarins are trained; advances in diagnostic tools, medications and surgery; how research studies work; and what questions to ask and where to find specialists (or research trials) to meet the needs of your dog or cat. An A-to-Z guide of a wide range of conditions is listed. The book also includes inspirational true stories of dogs and cats that have benefited from today's most innovative treatments.

 Worthwhile for Pet Lovers January 24, 2002
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Here is an up-to-date reference book covering modern veterinary care. More than a hundred veterinarians, among them quite a few from Penn, explain many health and behavior conditions, arranged alphabetically . . . The appendix lists veterinary colleges in the United States and their websites. A specialist has completed additional training and is a "Diplomate" of a veterinary specialty college. The appendix gives contact information. The human-animal bond brings up ethical questions, which are thoughtfully covered. . . The difficult subject of genetics is briefly covered. This book covers many advances in veterinary medicine and shows you how to take advantage of them. It's a worthwhile addition to the library of dog and cat owners.

[Shojai's] new work features the latest medical advances for cats and dogs. It also includes true stories of miraculous recoveries from pet lovers. Success stories in the book include: a two-pound pooch that's saved her owner's life nine times; Ronald McDonald house for pets; kidney transplants, cancer cures, open heart surgeries, dramatic arthritic treatments, behavioral help and paralysis cures using lasers. Also included in the book is an easy-to-use A-to-Z reference for specific health and behavior problems and frank dicussions on ethical issues such as how much to spend, cloning pets, organ donors and other areas.
