Is Your Dog Or Cat Feeling Under the Weather?

Many people cannot afford to take their pets to veterinarians every time it seems like Spot or Fluffy might be feeling poorly.

"The Truth about Dog and Cat Treatments and Anomalies" by veterinarian Dr. Robert Ridgway covers more than 150 ailments that might afflict one's pet. This guide helps readers identify conditions and offers advice for what pet owners can do to prevent disease from occurring in the first place.

This resource for common pet ailments is also a comprehensive guide on how to treat these conditions with a combination of over-the-counter drugs as well as simple home remedies. It includes carefully crafted dosage charts that tell owners exactly how much to give their pets based on weight and the recommended length of treatment.

"Safe home-treatments are not widely known," Ridgeway said. "This book doesn't use professional medical language. I meant it for public use and it is very easy to read."

While the guide primarily focuses on tackling health problems, it can also help one improve pet behavior, warn of the dangers of common household substances that can harm your furry family member and helps weigh complicated and sensitive issues involved with end-of-life care and decision-making.
