Everything you need to know about dogs, from how to choose the right breed to how to stop a bored dog barking - all the questions people have asked 'Burke's Backyard' vet, Dr Rob Zammit, over the last 25 years.
What sort of dog should I get? Why does my dog bark? My dog seems shy. What should I do? What's the best lead and collar for my dog? Is pancreatitis serious for a dog? My dog is a Houdini. Can a backyard be made escape-proof?
Dr Rob Zammit has been asked thousands of questions about our best friends during his 25 years as a vet. Now at last he's put down the answers in this easy to use book. Using a question and answer format, Dr Rob aims to teach dog owners how to best care for their pets and to understand and appropriately respond to a variety of dog behaviours.
For entry-level dog owners as well as those with experience, he includes information on selecting the right breed, providing a healthy diet, bathing and worming, toilet training, teaching your dog not to bark and diagnosing what their health problems might be.
The book is crammed full of invaluable information from an expert who truly knows and loves dogs.
