[.ca] The Pill Book Guide to Medication for Your Dog and Cat (ISBN 0553579894)

One of those "must haves":
I run an animal rescue and would never be without this book. It lists everything from amounts to side effects. With as many animals as we see a yr, the side effects listing is more than helpful. I also wish an updated version were available as many newer drugs are not covered - but until then - this is the one to own.

I LOVE this book and use it OFTEN!:
Buy this book. If you are in any way responsible for the care of dogs and cats, there is no reason NOT to have this book. This lists everything from how much Pepto to give to serious interactions between drugs. I take this book with me to the vet and immediately look up any prescriptions, OTC meds, ointments, etc, the vet recommends.

Feline breeder and show cattery:
being a feline breeder and in tune with feline medical problems when I heard of this book I ordered it tongue and cheek fashion.. Most reading material is for the novice and the books that are not cost a fortune.. I was amazed at the information within and feel all catteries should have this handy reference.. I would not be without it and I am ordering a few copies to give out for christmas gifts to fellow breeders and another for myself as mine is looking abused as I use it often.. such value for the price and easy to read and use.. Thanks to the authors for the effort and wonder if a update will be forth coming as new medications enter the field.. Sue

An excellent reference for every pet guardian:
Having been in cat rescue for over 25 years, I have been in a position to have experience with nearly every medical condition under the sun. I bought this book years ago and it has been an indispensible tool in working with sick cats and knowing what the medications they are prescribed do. Too often people give their pets whatever the vet prescribes without knowing anything about the medication, its side effects or how it works in relation to other meds and I really believe that needs to change. This book is very comprehensive and covers everything from a description of what each medication does to side effects, cautions, correct dosages and also categorizes how it affects pregnant, young, or senior animals. I have used this book so often it is in tatters and it's time for a new one! I cannot recommend this book highly enough, and believe that every pet guardian should have a copy.

Absolute Necessity:
This is a handy book that tells you what your vet forgets to. It's the most used reference book in my house. What I wish is that an updated version would be published. There are a lot of new drugs on the market. If you are a dog guardian you can't be without this book!
