Dogs Don't Cry: Dispelling The Major Misconceptions About Joint Pain and Dog Arthritis, Teaching You What To Look For, and Improving Dogs Lives

by James St. Clair

***THIS MONTH*** - We are donating the proceeds from the sale of this book to THE GREY MUZZLE ORGANIZATION whose mission is to help senior dogs in rescues suffering silently with joint pain and arthritis, helping them get access to the proper care, medicine and natural solutions they so need and deserve. YES or NO: Would it hurt you, if you found out your dog was in pain? If you love your dog then of course the answer is an immediate, YES! Our dogs are family members, loved ones and if we knew that they were in pain, it would hurt us deeply. Yet millions of dogs around the world are suffering every day silently and their pet parents don't even "SEE IT". Just in the USA alone, of the estimated 74 million dogs, 1 in 5 suffers from some degree of dog arthritis and yet the vast majority of dog owners have no idea and even worse their veterinarians often are not identifying these pain signs until much later in the disease process, when pain can often become debilitating after years of suffering. Internationally recognized veterinarian, author of the 5-star rated Home Rehabilitation Guides and lover of all dogs, Dr. James St.Clair, is on a quest to change pet owner's perception of pain in dogs. After interviewing thousands of pet owners over the last decade and asking one simple question; "Do you think your dog is in pain?", he came to the conclusion that greater than 90% of pet owners have no idea. Even in extreme cases when their dogs were limping significantly for massive dog arthritis, these pet owners still could not put 2 and 2 together. Why? The unanimous answer was "because our dog wasn't showing signs of pain, like crying or whining." In Dogs Don't Cry, Dr. St.Clair teaches you exactly why this perception is dead wrong. You'll learn exactly what to look for to identify signs of joint pain very early on. You would benefit from this book if your dog has: Canine Hip Dysplasia, Canine Elbow Dysplasia, or Canine Osteoarthritis "Dog Arthritis"

Really helpful

A very helpful and information book. I would like a little more detail and more actually ideas and suggestions but overall a good start.

This short book (~68 pages) is packed with information about joint health. It is easy to read and the author speaks from authority (he is a vet) but doesn't preach. It is written in layman's terms.

As a dog owner/foster specializing in seniors, I recognized a lot of my "babies" -- current and former -- in his scenarios. I now have more ammunition in my arsenal for the next case. Two of the current residents are in what Dr. J calls "maintenance". This book has earned a spot on my reference bookcase.

I'm deducting one star because of the blatant advertising for his own joint product that starts on page 55. That said, I appreciate the all-brands-are-not-created-equal discourse.
