Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook
I have an earlier copyrighted version of this book and needed to update it. I've used this reference book, as well as the Cat Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook, many, many times in dealing with my pets. It is extremely informative and written for the layperson to understand. It has helped in determining whether to take your pet to the vet or not. Any pet owner should have this book in their reference collection.

Misleading Title
I purchased this book to learn more about certain conditions and treatments. However, it seems to be more an encyclopedia of conditions with most treatments requiring a vet. The word "home" in the title is misleading.
