PET HEALTH & WELLNESS RESOURCE LIBRARY
The Ultimate Guide to Dog Health
This is an information resource that every responsible dog owner should have access to. Not only does it enable you to make good decisions about the more serious health issues commonly suffered by dogs, but you learn a lot about the minor, day-to-day ailments and afflictions that almost every dog will encounter from time to time, as well as a host of useful facts on preventative care.
Knowing when to take your dog to the vet and when to let him “self-regulate is a pretty tricky business – how do you tell when he needs to see a professional? After all, it’s not as if you can rely on your dog to let you know.
Nobody likes forking out $80 for a needless visit to the vet, but then again no conscientious dog-owner can bear to contemplate their dog’s suffering, either! Frankly, it’s a bit of a quandary.
I’ve owned dogs on and off my whole life, and this is still something that I’ve never been 100% comfortable with: of course, I’d always rather be safe than sorry (a viewpoint which has resulted in many, many unnecessary trips to the vet over the years, just to set my mind at rest) … but I’ve also always wished for the kind of solid grounding in canine medical basics which would enable me to confidently decide for myself when my dog needs to see the vet - and when I can save both him and myself the hassle!
Stress-Free Dog Care What’s Actually Covered? The Complete Cat Health Care Guide really is a complete compendium on cat care - and not just on the health of your cat, either. This useful owner’s manual covers all aspects of cat ownership in real detail, from the more frivolous aspects (ten reasons why cats make fantastic pets, how to play with your cat, etc) to the absolutely essential (healthcare, nutrition, first aid, and so on).
The book deals with all the common problems and ailments suffered by dogs. It covers issues like toothache and dental trouble, ear infections, skin rashes and chafing, eye irritations, worming issues, and lameness; chronic problems like vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, asthma, breathing trouble, and liver problems; more severe issues like arthritis and cancer; and symptomatic “alerts??? like hair loss, lethargy, and behavioral changes.
My Favorite Part
While it’s great to learn about canine anatomy and medical problems, the thing that I wanted to know more than anything else was: How can I tell how serious the problem is, and when do I need to take my dog to the vet?
So I was particularly happy to note the presence of the many and detailed symptom charts, which were designed especially to help owners make solid decisions about their dog’s health-care.
Each chart starts from the specific symptoms of a particular ailment (you just follow the “branches of the flowchart, depending on the symptoms that your dog has) and tells you the recommended path of treatment for each one, as well as advising whether veterinary care should be sought – and if so, how urgently. Pure genius!
In addition to the fully-illustrated, 240-page guide itself, you also get a handful of tempting freebies: specifically, four bonus books.

All in all, I couldn’t be happier with this product. It’s exactly what I was looking for – and even if I hadn’t spent the last decade or so wishing for a book just like it, I think I’d still snap it up in a second: it’s that useful.
The Complete Cat Health Care Guide
really is a complete compendium on cat care - and not just on the health of your cat, either. This useful owner’s manual covers all aspects of cat ownership in real detail, from the more frivolous aspects (ten reasons why cats make fantastic pets, how to play with your cat, etc) to the absolutely essential (healthcare, nutrition, first aid, and so on).
Why Does Anyone Need a Book on Cats?
Cats take care of themselves, right? You can buy a cat and not really need to research how to look after it, how to care for it, and what healthcare problems and potential behavioral issues you’ll need to look out for, right?
The answer (as all cat-lovers will already know) is, of course, definitely not!
Cat ownership implies a certain level of basic, non-negotiable responsibility. If you really want the best relationship that it’s possible to have with your cat, it’s worthwhile taking the time to find out what makes her tick. This means finding out how to keep her happy and healthy, how to supply her with adequate care and nutrition, how to help her adapt to your house (the house training secrets are a definite bonus!), how to prevent and deal with any behavioral problems that might eventuate, and in general how to achieve and maintain the kind of rewarding and mutually affectionate relationship with your cat that we’d all like to have.
The book’s laid out pretty logically: essentially, the first half of the book is dedicated to cat-care basics and the more ‘frivolous’ aspects of ownership (choosing your cat, things to avoid in a potential kitten/cat, detailed breed information, the homecoming, playtime suggestions, necessary and recommended supplies and toys, etc).
Uptown Petshop is committed to maintaining the highest level of resources & information on those areas which mean the most for both pets & their caretakers.
With that in mind, we have started building a comprehensive online library filled with pet health information, from common illnesses to cures, flea and tick control, pet first aid, potential threats to your pet’s health & safety, nutrition & natural
supplements, grooming, housetraining tips, dog & cat behavioral issues, pet adoption, & advances in veterinary medicine so that you can stay current on
new procedures for your older dog or cat.
