Great Book for at home pet care (4.0)

This is a great book for at home emergency care for your dog or cat. It also has a lot of good home remedies that you can use. It doesn't go quite as deep as I would like for it too, but it has been very useful for us.

A Must Have (5.0)

A must have for a great pet owner. A go-to book that can save your furry family member's life!!!

Great Book! (5.0)

This book is a wonderful reference tool! I have 3 cats and a dog and it has been a big help..I highly recommend this book if you are a dog or cat owner.

Not what I expected (1.0)

This was not at all what I expected it to be. I was hoping for something much more detailed. This book gives very general information and basically says to go to a veterinarian on every page. The book barely skims the surface of injuries or illnesses and provides VERY BASIC information tot he reader and in the end says to go to the vet.

I did find the bandaging pages somewhat useful but when looking up something like 'ring worm' and all you get is one sentence!

I am very disappointed!

The First Aid Companion For Dogs & Cats (Prevention Pets) (5.0)

I;ve had a copy of this book for about six years. I may not know where i have put certain things in my house but i KNOW where this book is at all times. I credit this book for saving the life of one of my dogs who jumped on the counter and took 7 pills meant for one of my other dogs at 3:00am. This is my bible, so i bought two more books one for my daughter and one for my son. They love the book.
