Paws & Pitfalls: Navigating Dog Ownership

Rate this book
Bringing a dog into your life is exciting, but it’s also a serious commitment. In Paws & Pitfalls, longtime vet tech and dog owner Amy Howard offers clear, honest guidance for anyone thinking about getting a dog or trying to be a better pet parent.

This book covers the practical side of dog ownership – how to choose the right breed, budget realistically, manage grooming and vet care, and understand what dogs need to stay healthy and happy. It also talks openly about the harder training challenges, time away from your pet, and the emotional ups and downs that come with caring for another life.

You won’t find unrealistic promises here. Just real-world advice, personal stories, and thoughtful suggestions to help you make good decisions for both you and your dog. Whether you live in a small apartment or a big house, whether you're active or prefer quiet nights at home, this book will help you find the right match and build a strong, lasting relationship with your pet.

Paws & Pitfalls is a thoughtful, practical companion for anyone who wants to do dog ownership right – from day one and for years to come.
