Rating: - 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.

Rating: - Veterinary Notes for Dog Owners
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 ... Read More

Rating: - Veterinary Notes for Dog owners
I have owned this book for several years. It is invaluable. The book is in sections and each chapter gives a general description of the way that part of the body works followed by common (and uncommon) problems with symptoms and possible treatments.

Written by a vet so it is scientifically accurate yet it can be understood by the lay person.

I breed dogs and this is probably the most used reference book I have as it is far easier to understand than the Veterinary Dictionaries.

Rating: - OVER BASIC, BADLY BALANCED AND OUT OF DATE
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.

Rating: - A must for every serious dog owner
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!
