Amazon.com
Watching a beloved pet age can be a painful process. Joints start creaking, tempers get short, and the sheer goofiness of the puppy you brought home years ago may disappear entirely. Your Older Dog makes this stage of your dog's life easier through some basic education. Author Jean Callahan has compiled more than 100 pages of information on exercise, nutrition, and common health concerns that you'll find helpful in easing your pup's journey from middle age to the end.
The book begins by walking you through the aging process, complete with average life expectancy for various breeds and a simple healthy-dog checklist. Clear skin and shiny coat? No unfortunate accidents after years of being successfully housetrained? Sounds like you've got a healthy dog. The section on age-related changes goes a bit deeper into specific problems to prepare for, such as urinary tract difficulties, periodontal disease, and arthritis, which are also discussed in detail later in the book. The chapter discussing alternative healing for canines covers herbs, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and chiropractors. Even if these treatments are difficult to find in your neck of the woods, the author provides helpful tips that you can try at home, such as applying a mint-filled collar for flea deterrence using nothing more than some fabric and some fresh mint.
Suggestions for exercise and nutrition will teach you ways to make sure your dog is having her changing requirements met. Like humans, dogs require fewer calories as they age, so you may need to examine her diet as well. Death and grieving are discussed sensitively, with tips for easing the process for all surviving family members. It may be true that all good things must end, but there is no reason they can't end well. --Jill Lightner -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
Kurzbeschreibung
All owners of an older dog know how hard it is to watch your pet age, begin to slow down and go grey around the muzzle. The advances in veterinary care and pet nutrition, along with the right kind of care, mean you can help your dog to have a longer and healthier life. This practical, sensitive and fully illustrated all-in-one reference book guides you through the ageing process in dogs, starting with middle age. With plenty of information on maximising your dog's active years and a complete guide to age-related health problems and suitable treatments and care, Your Older Dog gives you the vital information and reassurance you need to provide the best care for your 'best friend'.

Special book for older dogs -Owner of Aspenbloom Pet Care
23. August 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I've worn out my copy of this book! Jean Callahan really puts it all together for the owner of an older dog. From what to feed, to how to prevent illness this book is not only easy to read through but has a load of resources available. All the illustrations and sidebars, tips, and charts make this book a real handbook for older dog owners. If you have an older dog, get this book and keep it handy because it's a wealth of information.

Simple & Concise
4. April 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Everyone with a dog should own this book! Not a complete text but offers enough information to communicate with health care providers and gives the reader just enough background to research specific topics of interest.
The book is not just for aging dogs even though there are chapters on that subject.
The book is not attractive & updated photos would be great.
Buy it for your friends who have dogs!
