A powerful and rare guide to living a happy life with a blind or sight-impaired dog. Owners of such pets receive tips on how to live with such an animal, covering both specific eye conditions and pairing case study examples with solid insights. Any library catering to pet owners will find this a unique, important acquisition! --California Bookwatch
My dog is blind but lives life to the full deals comprehensively with the subject and is written in a non-technical style that will make it accessible to dog owners. It is an optimistic can-do book and provides plenty of case studies to illustrate how individual dogs (and their owners) have coped with their disability. This book provides a useful starting point that can help owners understand their dog's disability and learn to cope with it. As a support book it is worth recommending to owners as part of a support package that aims to empower owners and allow them to develop a sensitivity to, and understanding of, what is, at first, a very distressing condition. Owners will particularly appreciate reading the case studies and seeing how others have coped well with similar problems. It is this potential to help owners cope with their dog's blindness that allow me to recommend this book. --Glen Cousquer BSc(Hons) BVM&S CertZooMed PGDOE MSc MRCVS.
An absorbing read, with excellent advice which goes a long way to explaining just how to live with a blind dog, so that you both get the most out of life. --Dog Training Weekly
We read the great book My Dog is Blind (that is definitely what we were looking for after some really bad books on the argument) and we are waiting for the release of My Dog is Deaf and Living with an Older Dog. --Customer Review

Product Description
It can seem like the end of the world when the vet tells you that, sadly, your beloved dog is going blind; it's natural to put yourself in their place and imagine how catastrophic this news would be ... But with life-changing events such as these, there's one essential difference between the human and canine species: dogs won't waste too much time feeling sorry for themselves, or asking why me? After taking stock, they will with your help adapt and get on with the joyful business of living. This invaluable book will sympathetically show the owner of the newly-blind, or already blind dog that their loyal friend is still the same, with the same zest for and enjoyment of life. With love and careful thought, you and your dog can get as much out of life as you always have, having fun and establishing an even closer bond as you help each other find new or adapted ways to live together. Features: * Diagnosis * Eye problems * Socialisation * In the house and garden * Calming signals * Stress * Basic commands * Off-lead * Fun and games * Smellorama! scenting/nosework * Integration with other dogs * Tricks * Tips for trainers * Closing thoughts

My dog had recently been diagnosed with Retinal Atrophy which means he is going progressively blind. This news had left me feeling devastated especially as my vet had implied without sight my dog would have a miserable life. I thought I'd try a different route to get a more balanced view on the situation and this book gave me exactly that. The main thing it gave me was hope and reassurance with stories about other people who have and are coping with a dog with sight problems. It doesn't focus on medical diagnoses but gives positive examples of how you and your dog can make the best of the situation you are in. Good luck!
Format:Paperback
This book is a must for everyone with a blind or partially sited dog. It is easy to read and provides lots of useful tips and advice on what to do to ensure both you and your dog get the best out of each other.

Good Resource for Owners of Sight-Impaired Dogs
6 July 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My mini schnauzer was just diagnosed with SARDS last week. I ordered this book beforehand since I knew she was losing her sight. There are hardly any books available that deal with this subject matter; in fact, I could only find 2 in print. I purchased this, since it sounded like what I needed, is a newer publication, and doesn't have any of the controversy surrounding the unsubstantiated claims of treatments or possible cures for SARDS that the publisher of the other book is making. My veterinary ophthalmologist and my regular vet both say that there is no scientifically proven treatment or cure for SARDS, so I wanted a book that would help me deal with my dog's adjustment to blindness and not go into a lot of other areas about 'possible' causes and treatments. This book gives me what I need, in a concise, interesting format. It is well written and is a big help. If you are like me and just need information to help you and your dog deal with your dog's blindness, this book will serve you well and help you teach your dog important new commands and learn fun new games to enjoy life with you.

Best book on living with a blind dog
28 Dec 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I recently adopted a blind dog and have been reading up on living with a blind dog. This is a must-have book for people with a blind dog or people considering to adopt a blind dog. It is a wonderful book with beautiful pictures and smack-full of great advice. The focus of the book is to reduce stress in your blind dog, boost the dog's self-confidence and build a strong, positive relationship with your blind dog. Most of the advice was really good, except for a few places. For example, the author recommends walking a blind dog on a 2+ meter leash (approx. 7 ft) in urban areas. I can't envision how one would navigate around lampposts, trash cans, people in New York City or London with such a long leash.
My only complaint is that the book isn't longer. I would have liked to have learned about more tricks and games and have more detail about teach the dog new things.
