It’s pretty basic guide. I guess I like more in depth help. Most of the time, my questions or topics were in there. However, the information was so vague that I had to do more research elsewhere.

Great reference for any dog owner to have

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a really good book for dog owners, but I feel that it's lacking some major parts. Our dog was a rescue dog, which isn't really covered in this book at all. It seems very geared to people who buy or adopt puppies, which is fine, but not so useful for me.

Another Prevention for Pets book with scads of useful information

[Carolina Nazario · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very informational and well balanced book. The photos helped add a lighter feel to the book.
