Product Description

Dogs are now arguably the most popular companion animals, and the general wellbeing of the family pet is of paramount importance to many people. Today far more veterinary surgeons are concerned with the welfare of dogs than with any other animal.

Veterinary Notes for Dog Owners provides a detailed, authoritative and easily understood text for the professional breeder and pet owner alike, as well as for veterinary surgeons and nurses looking for clear, up-to-the minute explanations of sometimes complex issues. Twenty authors, all experts in their particular fields, have come together under the astute editorial guidance of leading veterinary surgeon Trevor Turner BVetMed, MRCVS, to cover all aspects of canine health care and management. There are detailed sections on general and inherited disease, the organ systems and infectious and parasitic diseases; on nutrition and feeding; on first aid, poisoning, and nursing the sick dog; canine dentistry and hernias; on behavior and behavioral problems. Invaluable advice on choosing a dog and building kennels is included as well as such topics as understanding pet insurance. This book is destined to become the standard work on canine health care and management, the essential manual for anybody who takes a serious interest in the welfare of dogs.

About the Author

Trevor Turner has lived with dogs all his life. He qualified from the Royal Veterinary College, London in the late nineteen fifties and shortly afterwards established a suburban practice which has grown into a large veterinary hospital of which he is the principal.

Writing and talking widely on canine and associated topics, he has received from the British Small Animal Veterinary Association the prestigious Melton Award in recognition of his work in forging links between the veterinary profession, breeders and the pet owning public.

Married to a veterinary nurse Jean, they currently share their lives with three dogs and four cats.

OVER BASIC, BADLY BALANCED AND OUT OF DATE 10 Mar 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I wouldn't recommend this book at all, and cannot agree with either the other reviewer or the "synopsis" that it's in any way comprehensive. No "vet" book that doesn't even advise on how to take a dog's temperature can be called comprehensive! I bought it because the title "Veterinary Notes..." gave me the impression this would be more complex than your average doggie care book. I wanted a book that gave more in-depth advice on illnesses such as cancer, cysts, skin problems, first aid etc. What I got was a book that (1) doesn't even mention many common health problems....."mast cell tumours" and "subaceous cysts" cannot even be found in the index, despite them being the two most common lumps and skin cancers in a dog! The only mention of either of these is by NAME ONLY in a list of illnesses that are not explored beyond their name. (2) A book that, whilst neglecting many common illnesses, devotes much to other lesser seen illnesses and to subjects one would not really class as of a veterinary nature (such as how to show your dog in a competition). For example, the book offers a teeny chapter on first aid which doesn't even tell you how to take a temperature! Yet the book gives more space (I'd say wastes space actually) by offering chapters on, of all things, pet insurance - getting so involved in it as to give quotes of costs, how to complete a claim form and listing contact details!!!! WHY????? It even has a chapter on showing your dog!!! Again, WHY?? This is supposed to be a veterinary book which most people would, I would think, expect to be about health issues.(3) A very outdated book where examples of vet charges are so old as to now be way off actual cost, and the telephone numbers of insurances companies have not been updated from before three London number changes ago!!! It's obvious the editors have not made any effort to update this book since it's first print in 1993, which means a lot of the progress of veterinary science has not been made use of in this book. If you want a VERY BASIC book - you might just be appeased with this (although I've spent less than half the cost on far better books). Even then, try and find advice on taking a dog's temperature - it's nowhere in the index or first aid section. The first aid section itself is very sparce and doesn't give many of the essentials at all. AN ILL-BALANCED BOOK WHICH IS VERY OUTDATED AND, IN MANY CASES, IRRELEVANT AND UNHELPFUL. --- TRY INSTEAD, "DOG OWNER'S HOME VETERINARY HANDBOOK" ISBN: 0876052014 - a far superior book which I rate a 5. It's got precisely what you'd expect from a book claiming to be of a veterinary nature. This too is available from Amazon which is where I got my copy from.

Veterinary Notes for Dog Owners 22 Jan 2004

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

If you are looking for a self help manual this is not the one for you. Having said that I thought the style of writing wonderful, I liked the perspective of the author towards dogs, the humour and pragmatism. No sentimentality just a very readable book which makes the content easily understandable. As to the content, I can only comment as a lay person. But I thought the book covered most of what the average dog owner would need to know, including why and how! A useful reference book for the family pet. If you have quite specific needs, this may not be the book for you.

A must for every serious dog owner 14 Nov 2000

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

This is one of the most informative books I have found on dog health-an excellent buy! There are detailed sections on all of the body systems with informative, accurate drawings and xrays to understand the theory. As well as general health sections, there are chapters on behaviour and training, nutrition, veterinary nursing and pet insurance and everything is written by experts in their particular field. The book contains everything that dog owners need to know all in one. Essential reading!

Not as comprehensive as I would have liked.

As one reviewer pointed out this book gives the basics but not the nitty gritty of things to watch for if you suspect something serious is going on with your dog. Read more

Good if you are studying the subject

Good books but just gives a brief outline on some subjects, I had to buy another book to cover it in more detail. Apart from that it does what it says.
