First Aid Companion For Dogs And Cats

This book is full of helpful information. It tells you how to make a make shift muzzle, proper ways to restrain your pet, and how to determine what is wrong with your animal. My favorite thing about this book is that it lets you know how sever the injury is and if you need to take your animal to the vet.

Pros: Easy to read.

Cons: Some people may not read the entire book.

This is another reference I refer to if my pets suffer an injury or illness. Part 1 provides useful information on what to keep in the first aid kit/medicine chest. There is a chart on what human medications can be used for pets and how much to give. There is also information on basic assessment and basic first aid techniques. Part 2 gets more specific about different injuries and illness, and gives information on when to call the vet, what to do immediately, and follow-up care for each injury or illness. The book has some illustrations. I would recommend all cat or dog owners keep this easily accessible.

Pros: very informative on dealing with pet health issues

Cons: none
