Format:Paperback
If you are a new dog owner or an experienced dog owner of many years, this book is invaluable. It was recommended to me by a dog owner of many years, and I have recommended it to other friends and family since.
I was a new dog owner two years ago, and it's like having a new baby. You are worried about all those little behaviors, problems and ailments that you have not come across before, and this book explains them all exceptionally well. It really is a useful encyclopedia on the physiology and ailments of dogs, immediate treatment you can do and whether the problem requires a visit to the vet. It covers everything from choosing and raising a puppy, nutrition and feeding, training and behaviour, mishaps and problems, with lots of "what if my dog gets tar on his feet?" & "What if my dog won't eat?" type question and answers. A really good section on health and illness, anatomy, infectious diseases etc, Another great section on first aid for your dog, and accidental poisoning and how to look for signs and symptons of illness.
This book really does cover nearly everything, and is a fantastic reference. It is always to hand in our house, and we have referred to it many times already. It is reassuring to have around and be able to refer to it, before panicking and phoning the vet for another expensive visit. It is written in both an informative easy to read way, but with encyclopedia type sections with lots of facts and information. Highly recommended for any dog owner.

Format:Paperback
While the scientific information (health care, feeding etc.) information in this book is alright, it teaches some incredibly out-dated, dominance-centred ways to overcome certain behavioural problems,including advice to stand over your dog and lift half his body off the ground until he stops struggling. Advice like this causes trauma and weakens relations between owner and dog, not to mention that they are based on faulty observations of wolf packs made over a century ago and represent a serious misunderstanding of domestic dogs' behaviour and thought processes.
If you want cold facts about your dog's anatomy, this is a decent book. Otherwise, don't waste your money.
