Not even done but I have already learned SO much information!
I'm still reading this book but I have learned a wealth of knowledge already. I am far from a new dog owner at one time in my life in one way or another my family had eight (yes 8) dogs! I love scouring the internet, magazines, and books for ways to be a better dog owner and now I have a manual right her at my fingertips!Within the first 30 min of reading I was able to find a helpful trick for my Shih Tzu Wally's ear problems, just a bit of athlete's foot powder sprinkled in there! And I was also able to find out the estimated caloric need of my little guy.I googled away and never found caloric requirements! I recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about getting a dog, owns a dog, or has love (and/or contact) with a canine friend!

great on health & first aid, but lacking on nutrition
first the bad: the nutrition aspect of this book a *really* lacking. while the author initially states that meat should be the base of any dogs meal, absolutely NONE of the recipes she includes have more than 30% meat (give or take). there is no mention of how to discern a good dry or canned food (if you want that try Dr. Pitcairn's books), and while I can understand her hesitation about raw diets, she completely fails to point out that common sense and basic hygeine can take care of a lot of those problems. in short, the nutrition sections were useless.

the good: the health and first aid sections are top rate and those make this book a must have for ANY dog owner. Luckily the bulk of the book covers these issues (the nutrition section is very small), and that makes this book a worth while purchase. one of the most useful things is a list of things that is included is a list of what to have in a pet first aid kit.

overall I'm only giving the book 3/5 stars because I feel that a book titled "health and nutrition" should thoroughly cover nutrition and this book just doesn't cut it. I highly recommend buying it used (which I did) and keeping it around just for the "health" information.

A good layperson's guide.
I found this book to be very useful for the layperson. It's written in simple terms and the author has done a good job explaining the "basics" of dog health, including nutrition. It's hard to find a non-bias reference book on canine nutrition that's not endorsing a specific feeding "style".
Coming from an animal care background, I can easily recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about caring for their furry friend.

Dog Health & Nutrition for Dummies
Overall a good book, although sometimes it is overly basic and at others lacks detail it does have a particularly good first aid section.It is well laid out, clear, and easy to read. Well worth the investment to have on hand as a reference.Definitely a good buy for the first time dog owner!

A must for dog owners
I reserached a while into various bokos on dog nurtriotn and health. the options I found were limitintg: one can purchase books for alrge sums on money giving me all kinds on information about rare diseases and symptoms or the opposite, very light and uncritical. this book is in the middle. It highlights the most important facts for both nutrition and health and whilst it does not go into too much detail, I feel that I would not be able to cope with that anyway and would need to refer to a veterinarian anyway. And this is from a "human" doctor, turned dog owner, where I would feel the same about a book on human health, too many details are too confusing and worrying for the reader. ... Read more

Good Health Reference Manual
I actually did read most of the chapters in this book (the ones that pertained to me in my stage of life, anyway).As all the Focus On the Family reference books, this one is terrific.

It presents every aspect of health - physical, mental, and spiritual - and explains how to take care yourself in each one.It also covers special issues like women's health, men's health, senior health, sexual health, sleep issues.It'a great manual for overall health and well-being, with a Christian slant on everything.I'll probably refer to it from time to time.

Tracking God throughout the Ages in Various Cultures
Richardson is a "big picture" person who has caught the overall movement of God in differing cultures/people groups over the millenia of human history. If one wonders how impossible the task of reaching unreached people groups is, this book will assure the reader that God has already gone before the missionary preparing the path by preserving elements of ancient knowledge of God within those cultures to open up the way for those who finally arrive at the doorstep of today's still unreached peoples. ...
