 Excellent Resource July 24, 2007
I've had my copy of this book for 10 years now and have referred to it many times. It helps me to articulate my concerns to our vet when necessary and to calm my nerves when one of my pets presents with some symptom or ailment. My vet has commented on it herself as a great resource. I'm ordering the one for horse owners as I've recently acquired my first horse and hope to be equally happy. It is better than any web site or other dogs for dummies kind of book. The best features are the Index of Signs and Symptoms, the common household medications and the fact that it doesn't just resort to the "consult your veterinarian for more information" for everything beyond fleas.
Good home reference book July 16, 2007
I have referred to this book several times when trying to figure out what's wrong with my dog. It is user friendly and comprehensive. If it saves you a trip to the vet, then it is worth the 20 bucks already.
 This book has already paid for itself! May 30, 2007

This is hands down, the best book out there for dog care. For those hwo say it's not good for emergency situations, it's not ment that. That is when you should stop worrying about money, put down the book, and get your dog to the vet. My dog was suffering from liver disease and when he started to act a little strange and confused I looked it up and discovered he had "Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE)." I was able to call my vet and describe his symptoms and explain that I thought he was HE and the vet gave us a prescription without having to bring him in. That right there was enough to pay for the book. It is written in a way that everyone can understand and is easy to follow. I only gave it four stars because it was missing some things that I was looking for, such as syncope and more in depth with kidney disease.
Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook May 30, 2007
This book is excellent and will have a special place on my bookshelf as it is filled with valuable information that may be needed STAT in an emergency. It is indexed well and the topics presented are easy to access. Additionally, this book is very informative as regards the health needs and anatomy of your dog. An excellent resource.
A must have for dog owners! May 29, 2007
This is a book every dog owner should have. Very detailed & easy to understand. I like the fact there are some photos here & there, just wish they were in color to see the details a little better. This is a very informative book that I truely recommend.
