Sinopsis

"What should I do if my dog is stung by a bee?" "I know chocolate is bad for dogs, but my St. Bernard just ate a 12 oz bag of chocolate chips. Do I need to rush to the vet?" Find answers to these questions and many more in Essential First Aid for Dog Owners, a practical guide to common pet emergencies and basic first aid for your dog. This concise book will help you make educated decisions on how to handle emergency situations. It's easy to use and just the right size to keep with your dog first aid kit (which the book helps you create). The Know Your Dog section is essential first reading. It provides common-sense wisdom that will allow you to keep many situations in the category of "avoided emergencies" instead of life-threatening crises. When a genuine problem does arise, Dr. Boldrick's pawprints tell you at a glance when - and how quickly - you need to see your veterinarian. All this and much more is packed into this little gem. Essential First Aid for Dog Owners also illustrates ways to keep injured dogs - and their humans - safe using proper restraint and handling techniques. A section on handy tips for giving medications rounds out the book. The companion website for this book can be found at www.essentialfirstaidfordogowners.com. Fifty percent of the proceeds will go to Freedom Dogs.
