The Dog Care Handbook: Things I Wish My Vet Had Told Me by Christopher Little PhD was one of the best books I have sitting in my book shelf. This book is Brilliant and full of useful information to help you care for your family dog. It will improve your knowledge of your family dog or other dogs, it will help you understand of all the important common diseases that your pet might develop and what to do if this happens. It will help you with your dog to have more understanding when you visit a vet as this can be a traumatic time for you and your dog, especially as you will need to find a Vet you can trust and who will respect your wishes and work with you and your budget.

This wonderful book covers your dogs entire lifespan from being a puppy to old age. I found this so interesting from the first page till the very last page. It is full of information on preventable health which is covered in great detail, from major conditions of their skin, heart, joints, kidneys, and other organs, diseases etc especially as it is explained clearly and you can understand what is going to happen next and what you will need to do next.

There is an excellent chapter that deals with specific emergencies and what to do if needed. It has
Numerous illustrations are provided which make it easy to medicate your dog or provide first-aid, i.e. what to do if your dog is choking etc. There is information what to do if your dog has a wound, or has a dreaded grass seed in between their toes, or has a lump or your dog is constipated as this does happen!

Then, it has a great section of Emergencies; and what to do if this happens which I found brilliant. This covers, Dog fights, road accident, heat stroke, bloating, weakness in your dogs legs, when you dog has eating chocolate, garlic, onions etc. It even covers what to do if your dog has got bitten by an Adder snake! Ingested Slug bait - Metaldehyde to batteries!

This book keeps on giving............There is a chapter on "What to do if things go wrong" and covers what you can do if you can't afford the tests and treatments, How to go about changing your vet to how to make a complaint.

This is a Must Dog Bible handbook and a very helpful book, it just keeps on giving and a must to have in your house.

As a dog lover and owner to a Westie and a Cavapoo this book has been a gem especially as my Westie Millie is diabetic and now blind it has been a traumatic time for all of us but this book has helped me understand more about the condition and what to do if something happens to Millie and Charlie in the future.

A Big thank you to Literally pr for making me a part of a Book Tour I was invited to do and especially Christopher Little PhD.......If I could give 10 stars I would!
