More Than You Asked For
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is way more than tips on how to keep your dog young. The test on determining your dog's "real age" is just the teaser to draw you into it. It's a wonderful overall reference on everything from how to choose the right kind of dog for your family to training to nutrition and exercise, with lots of personal stories thrown in. Lots of fun!
Required reading for all dog owners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is the book that every dog owner, or potential dog owners, should read. DogAge covers the gamut of dog care, from puppies to senior dogs, diet, training, exercise, and obedience; it's all here. While the DogAge quiz provided some really great tips for keeping my dogs healthy, active, and youthful, the rest of the book is filled with really great tips and facts that I had never really even thought about: dangers such as frisbee catching, puppy mills, and chicken bones. With this book on my shelf, I feel much more prepared to be a better dog owner. This is definitely required reading for all dog owners!
Great dog ownership guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
What a great book. I've always owned dogs, but I had no idea that there was so much more I could be doing to help them live longer and healthier! The quiz helped me identify areas that we (me and my mutt!) both needed improvement in-especially food, feeding, and t-r-e-a-t-s! We're both exercising more, eating better, and one of us is no longer digging in the yard, either. Thanks to Dr. Dondi's insightful advice, I've got a complete canine crisis plan, a hazard-free home and yard, and a dog suddenly bursting with energy! I would recommend this book!
A "How To" book that won't put you to sleep
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
After adopting a small dog a few months ago I've read a number of books on taking care of the little guy; DogAge was the first one that could hold my attention. Between the book and dogage.com I've been having fun learning how to keep my dog healthy. I highly recommend DogAge to anyone who wants to know how to keep their dog young at heart!
Finally, a book to help dogs be safer and live longer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I recently adopted a 6-year-old lab mix, and I've been pretty anxious about taking care of her. This book helped ease my fears tremendously. It not only provided a pretty neat quiz about how to help her live longer, it also gave specific advice about how much to feed her, how to tell if she's getting fat, the medical conditions her breed is prone to, plants to keep her away from, and an extensive list of medical problems and diseases and how to spot them before it's too late. Best of all though, the author provided up-close stories about the dogs (and their owners) who visit the veterinarian's exam-with some sort of preventable condition or injury. You can imagine the stories. I highly recommend this book to all dog lovers.
