About this title

Product Description

Dogs are living longer than ever before due to routine inoculations which have brought infectious diseases under control, improved nutrition and more responsible ownership. Whilst most dog owners don't question whether good veterinary attention is nearby, there are occasions when emergencies might occur which need immediate attention - from aggression, through choking and drowning, to poisoning, vomiting and premature whelping. This book aims to answer all the questions and worries in an easily accessible way.
