It was New Year’s, and the Andersons were enjoying the night’s festivities, as was Bogart, the family canine. Bogart feasted on the box of chocolates that had been carefully wrapped and placed under the tree. By the time someone noticed, the chocolates were gone and Bogart looked distressed.

This book is designed to teach dog owners, like the Andersons, how to tend to their pet’s medical emergencies until they can get professional veterinary assistance. By using the emergency first-aid guidance provided by this book, you can learn to recognize a medical emergency and treat it appropriately.

This book will discuss how to handle the injured or sick dog., how to make a first-aid kit, how to assess an emergency situation, and how to treat your pet during a crisis. This book provides instruction for treating a host of problems ranging from minor ailments to severe situations, including bite wounds, poisoning and being hit by a car.
