The Ultimate Guide to Dog Health
|
Knowing when to take
your dog to the vet and when to let him “self-regulate” is a pretty
tricky business – how do you tell when he needs to see a
professional? After all, it’s not as if you can rely on your dog to
let you know.
Nobody likes forking out $80 for a needless visit to the
vet, but then again no conscientious dog-owner can bear
to contemplate their dog’s suffering, either! Frankly,
it’s a bit of a quandary
I’ve owned dogs on and off my whole life, and this is
still something that I’ve never been 100% comfortable
with: of course, I’d always rather be safe than sorry (a
viewpoint which has resulted in many, many unnecessary
trips to the vet over the years, just to set my mind |
|
at
rest)… but I’ve also always wished for the kind of solid
grounding in canine medical basics which would enable me to
confidently decide for myself when my dog needs to see the vet - and
when I can save both him and myself the hassle!
Stress-Free Dog Care
You can imagine the relief I felt when I happened across The
Ultimate Guide to Dog Health (by Malcolm Fields – dog-care
professional) on the Internet. It was uncanny: this guide is exactly
what I was looking for. It’s complete and detailed, covering all the
common health problems (both serious and not) that dogs suffer from;
the overall focus is on being prepared and taking preventative
action; it teaches you how to accurately self-diagnose (with the
assistance of step-by-step flowcharts which tell you whether he’ll
be fine by himself, whether he needs to see the vet, and how
urgently the vet should be seen); and, while it’s packed with
knowledge and advice from veterinarians and trained dog-care
specialists, it’s easy on the eye and reader-friendly … you can
actually understand what they’re trying to say!
In a nutshell, it’s detailed (but not dauntingly so), comprehensive
(covering all the common ailments and illnesses), knowledgeable
(while retaining a conversational, easy-to-understand tone) and it
gives you the kind of introduction to canine healthcare that’ll
allow you to take good care of your dog – without spending
unnecessary time and effort trying to absorb the jargon of a
veterinary textbook!
What’s Actually Covered?
The book deals with all the common problems and ailments suffered by
dogs. It covers issues like toothache and dental trouble, ear
infections, skin rashes and chafing, eye irritations, worming
issues, and lameness; chronic problems like vomiting, diarrhoea,
coughing, asthma, breathing trouble, and liver problems; more severe
issues like arthritis and cancer; and symptomatic “alerts” like hair
loss, lethargy, and behavioural changes.
On top of that, you also learn how to pick up early warning signs by
identifying and accurately interpreting your dog’s body language;
how to groom your dog quickly and effectively; how to take good care
of his teeth and gums; how to administer medicine safely and easily;
and how to recognize the early warning signs of health trouble
through behavioural and physical changes.
All this information is fully supplemented by full-colour diagrams,
photographs, and illustrations.
My Favourite Part.
While it’s great to learn about canine anatomy and medical problems,
the thing that I wanted to know more than anything else was: How can
I tell how serious the problem is, and when do I need to take my dog
to the vet?
So I was particularly happy to note the presence of the many and
detailed symptom charts, which were designed especially to help
owners make solid decisions about their dog’s health-care. Each
chart starts from the specific symptoms of a particular ailment (you
just follow the “branches” of the flowchart, depending on the
symptoms that your dog has) and tells you the recommended path of
treatment for each one, as well as advising whether veterinary care
should be sought – and if so, how urgently. Pure genius!
Something for Nothing!
In addition to the fully-illustrated, 240-page guide itself, you
also get a handful of tempting freebies: specifically, four bonus
books.
There’s “The Ultimate Guide to Dog First Aid”, which is an
incredibly useful resource for those situations requiring an
immediate response (including how to perform the canine Heimlich
manoeuvre and doggie CPR); “180 Gourmet Recipes for Your Dog”, which
really teaches you how to indulge your pooch’s taste buds; “101 Ways
to Spoil Your Dog for Under $10”, detailing all kinds of
luxuries-on-a-budget and activities for you and your dog to enjoy
together; and “20 Super-Healthy Recipes for Your Dog” – which proves
that doggie health-food is as delicious as anything else! These
books have a combined value of over $80 – not a bad freebie!
The Ultimate Guide to Dog Health: Summed Up.
All in all, I couldn’t be happier with this product. It’s exactly
what I was looking for – and even if I hadn’t spent the last decade
or so wishing for a book just like it, I think I’d still snap it up
in a second: it’s that useful.
This is an information resource that every responsible dog owner
should have access to. Not only does it enable you to make good
decisions about the more serious health issues commonly suffered by
dogs, but you learn a lot about the minor, day-to-day ailments and
afflictions that almost every dog will encounter from time to time,
as well as a host of useful facts on preventative care.
This comprehensive guide to dog health will help you to spot little
problems before they become big ones: truly indispensable
