4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful book for dog owners, 22 Oct 2008
This book has lots of information on dog health and nutrition. It provides tips and advice on everything from feeding your dog to health advice.

Being from the Dummies range of books, everything is clear and easy to understand.

The only reason I give it 4 out of 5 is that I feel it could do a little more in depth on some articles, but other than that it is a brilliant book and a must own for dog owners.
