For many pet owners who consider their cats or dogs as their "fur babies," it can be challenging to know what to do when their beloved animal is in trouble. Many people lavish their pets with as much attention and care as they would a pampered human child. That’s why it can be so devastating when a pet has an accident or their life is in danger. However, many of these incidents can be avoided with some simple precautions and planning. By learning how to avoid common pet-related problems, you, your pet, and your finances can all be much happier.

This is the premise of How to Save Your Pet, Yourself, and Your Wallet from Pain and Suffering, by Aaron Vine. The author, an expert in veterinary medicine, writes with a great deal of authority on the subject. His style is easygoing and breezy, aiming not to lecture but to ensure the happiness of both you and your pets by sharing various anecdotes from his long and successful career.

Vine shares the ups and downs his clinic experiences on any given day. Some pet owners come in with situations so outlandish they would be laughable if an animal’s life weren’t in danger. However, as many unexpected animal-related catastrophes as Vine sees, he remains adamant that there are patterns to pet-related trauma that are usually avoidable. Vine wants to show pet owners, through humorous escapades, that sparing your pet’s life—and often your bank account—is indeed possible. There will always be serious medical situations with animals that are unavoidable, as they are all mortal. That being said, if you take to heart the lessons that this book teaches, it’s much more likely you and your pet can enjoy many contented years together.

How to Save Your Pet, Yourself, and Your Wallet from Pain and Suffering is a must-read for any pet owner. Aaron Vine's engaging narrative and practical advice make it an invaluable resource for preventing common pet-related mishaps.

informative

A lot of helpful information. Well organized material. Some of the pictures are a little gory but I guess that’s part of preparing us for pet ownership.
