I was a new dog mama when I heard about this book and wanted be sure the pup I adopted had a good chance at having a good home, a home that would understand her. The vet who wrote this book cracked me up and taught me some of the basic of what to expect when you get a dog. We got off on the right foot and 4 years later, my pup and I are the best of friends.
Highly recommend it if you are or will be a dog parent. SUPER easy and fun read, too!

I have three dogs and would love this book! I can honestly say to anyone out there reading my review, dogs do understand you. My little love is like my child. She listens to me and when I ask her to do something, honestly she does it.
I would love this book to read what another thinks.
Dogs love so unconditionally. I wouldn't trade any moment with my dogs for a moment with a cat!

a book to skim through (not a a novel)
This fun and informative book is written by a veternarian. You can tell she has a spunky personality and no question is off limits....i.e. Why does your fixed Fido still spring his lipstick? Answer: He really is that happy to see you! Apparently the animal brain does not divide excitement up into as many categories as the human. A fun read for any dog lover.
I read this book in just a couple of hours and found it funny and informative. I can't believe some of the crazy questions that vet's get asked, but there are a lot of things that she said that helped me to try and understand my little terrier better. I recommend this book for dog lovers and anyone who has some off the wall questions for their vet, but is too afraid to ask them.

A mother's day gift - from the pets. I devoured it on the long car ride home on Mother's day. The author shares snippets of advice drawing from her experiences as a veternarian and a pet owner. I was in stitches about the advice on how to give a cat a pill. Enjoy!
Fun, fun, fun. It's everything you ever wanted to know about why your dog eats his own poo, but would never, ever, ever ask. I would recommend it.
Some interesting little known facts about dogs scattered in among the usual tidbits you already know about dogs and dog ownership
good advice and a good selection of questions. the writing was a little too cutesy and became distracting, though.
Informative and entertaining. I wish she was my vet! She has a great sense of humor. Learned a lot.
Very complete, easy to read guide on pooch health and behavior.
