Really great advice about introducing new animals

[Kathi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Many good points and tips here. Even as an "experienced" dog and cat foster, I found hints to take away here. Some repetition throughout.

The horrible formatting and typos in the e-book version drove me to distraction and lowered my rating.
