Every dog owner should have this book.......2002-08-11
"First Aid for Dogs" was one of three similar books I bought and is clearly the best, by a head and shoulders margin. It has almost 200 pages of information about a variety of conditions that can occur at home, in the neighborhood, or in the field. It makes very clear what to look for (symptoms) and then gives a helpful "decision tree" (if this is present, then do or look for ---; if that is not present, then look for or do ---). It is also very clear about what options you have in contacting a vet: Now! Same day. Within 24 hrs. Soon. Phone for advice.
It very clearly tells how to check symptoms. It covers almost every imaginable condition a dog owner would usually encounter. In the money it will save in trips to the vet that weren't needed, using this book will save its cost many times over.
The book is very well organized into sections, Part 1, What to do first, how to make splints, etc,; Part 2, What to do next, checking symptoms, what to observe; Part 3, First aid for various emergencies; Part 4, improving health, how to give/apply meds. The line drawing illustrations are simple, clear, and helpful. The index is comprehensive and useful.
By comparison, one of the other books I bought (published by a university press and written by vet school faculty), is higher priced, has about one fourth the pages, and contains much less than a twentieth the information. "Always have injuries examined by a veterinarian" is neither sufficient or particularly helpful advice. For poisoning, it recommends "veterinary advice should be sought."
The third first aid book I bought was for outdoor dogs (I have a Lab). It has a little less than half the pages that Fogle's book contains. The topics it covers are adequately treated but I've found nothing covered that is not also in Fogle's book.
Literally, a life saver........2002-08-02
When my wife, Amy, and I bought Sparky, our pet pekinese, we picked up this book, though we hoped to never need it. It was so clearly written and easy to use that the entire family read it. When our oldest son, Ryan, used it to save Sparky from choking on peanut butter, we realized just how valuable the advice in this book is. Thank you, Bruce and Amanda, for saving our dog's life.
This book is wonderful!.......1999-07-03

Very Useful.......2005-06-17
This was a very useful book and I keep it inside a hunting back pack at all times. This book is definitely worth adding to your canine related library. Along with a quality first aid kit!
For the camping, hiking, traveling, hunting, outdoor dog!.......2000-09-06
Being a nurse, I take the proverbial "be prepared" to extremes, but when you are camping hundreds of miles away from the nearest emergency health care facility, you must be educated to handle most emergencies of your family members.
Well, DON"T FORGET THE DOG
We just adopted a wonderful black labrador, and being a busy outdoor kind of family I needed a concise, handy, well rounded emergency care manual for my little boy, Abbott. I researched and decided on this pocket field guide that is perfect for carrying on your outdoor excursions. I am pleased with the content and find the directions easy to follow, even for a lay person uneducated in medicine.
Hopefully, my dog will never need emergent care, but I feel better knowing and gathering the knowledge needed to be there for him if the need becomes reality. Buy this book and put together a first aid kit for your dog. His life could depend on it.
The best, clearest, most useful first aid book out there........1999-08-31
I've reviewed many first aid books in my search. This is the clearest, most practical canine first aid book I've found. Most books read "take dog to nearest vet", this isn't always possible and this book covers what to do in those situations using clear text and precise pictures. Essential for anyone who takes their dog anywhere (even those dogs who just go to the park and back), but essential for dogs who go hiking, camping, travelling, kayaking, etc with their humans; anywhere you wouldn't be able to reach a vet within 20 minutes. Keep one in your car's glove box, the dog's backpack (along with a portable first aid kit), and one at home.
Great reference for hunting, fishing, camping, hiking!.......1999-04-03
This is excellent to have for emergencies and general knowledge of what to do when an injury occurs. Very usefull!

Customer Reviews:
Outstanding Mini-Encyclopedia of Pet First Aid.......2006-07-11
There is so much useful information in just this one volume. What's more, there is a symptom finder, allowing a quick overview of possible causes of given symptoms among dogs and cats. There are two tables of poison hazards, including one which tells what human medications should never be given to cats (although veterinarians advise that no human medications should ever be given to animals without checking with them). The animal conditions that can be helped by first aid range from life-threatening situations to such things as constipation in cats. There are many helpful diagrams. One of them shows how to make a homemade Elizabethan collar and another one shows how to restrain a seriously-injured animal for the trip to the vet.
Worth every penny!.......2004-02-07
Quick story: A few months ago I was driving and saw a dog running beside the road and when I was only a few feet from him, he was struck by a car. I rushed him to the vet hospital but sadly, he passed away. I went straight to the book store and picked up this book on pet first aid, learned about treating a pet who is going into shock and now keep an animal first aid kit,
blanket and copy of this book in the trunk of my car. This was the only book I could find that addressed the issue of helping an animal who is struck by a car. It is such important information and I was thankful to find it.

A Treasure of Designs.......2006-10-05
In so many quilting directions the instructions say "quilt as desired." Okay....but what if you don't know how to quilt as desired? What if you don't know what you desire to quilt? Sometimes they state how the model has been quilted, but what if you don't feel confident enough to do that? Well....Mary M. Covey has given quilters patterns to "Quilt as Desired." Quilting designs, borders, and corners....oh my! Go ahead, quilters of all ranges...quilt as desired using "Follow-the-line" and know that your quilts will be desired.
Follow-the-line Quilting Designs: Full-size Patterns for Block & Borders.......2006-08-03
I ordered this to improve my Line Drawing Stash for Long Arm Quilting. I think that there are many uses for them, but haven't had an occasion to use them yet. I'm still a newbie to Long Arm work and expect to be using them soon.

Customer Reviews:
An old friend.......2007-09-19
i bought my original copy of this book in the 70's. It served me through both of my pregancies, inspired me to want to be involved with catching babies. My route was through med school. The book was loaned out many times. Its great strength is in the many good birthing stories. Our cultures view of birthing is full of horror stories that terrify mothers. A terrified woman does not have a good birthing experience. We are also inundated with technology. This book is a marvellous antidote, and has been important in making birth a normal and positive experience for the women who delivered with me. It is delightful to have the new edition, and to read through it again.
Must-read pregnancy book...........2007-09-03
This is a wonderful book that I highly recommend to ANY woman. It will open your eyes and heart
I want to share this book with all Women!.......2007-08-26
A good friend told me I should read this book, even though I wasn't pregnant ... I put it off. Now that I am pregnant, I read it, and now understand why you should read it. Woman who can become pregnant, should be educated on what to expect - this book starts out with awesome accounts written by woman who gave childbirth (hospital and natural); it empowered me. I am no longer scared of the unknown, I bought two copies of my own to share with pregnant friends and family, and recommend this as a gift to any woman who wants kids "someday", or who is expecting. Knowledge is power! I also recommend, Ina May's Guide to Childbirth (more suggestions and information regarding hospital options - I feel like it speaks to a larger audience). After reading this book, I would like to tell you that I do not have an ailment, I am pregnant; hospitals are for sick and injured people.
Absolute Pinnacle!.......2007-08-09
This is right up there in birth literature. Being an Active Birth Centre librarian, I've read a few. Some of the stories get a bit "trippy" which might put a few off but it's full of heart and practical advice. Dads with a sense of humour will love it. I have referred to it many many times for myself and other women. A must have classic.
trippy birth stories.......2007-08-09
I've read a lot of birth stories books and so it was a surprise to read this book full of people tripping out on the experience. I liked the second half about midwifery details too. I've been toying with the idea of becoming a midwife and this has certainly given me much more info to think about. I highly recommend this book before anyone's birth since people should know that the hospital experience, while being the cultural norm, is the aberration in how birth should be!
Customer Reviews:
The way to change the world.......2007-05-08
This book holds the keys to changing humanity. Everyone should read this, especially those interested in holding the position of childbearing.
amazing.......2007-01-20
Best pregnancy book ever.
This is not your ordinary pregnancy book. It focuses mainly on the spiritual aspects of pregnancy and labor and delivery. It's written by a midwife and therefore it highly stresses a natural delivery. I think the author is very much in touch with her higher self and she has come to many of the conclusions described in the book through her self-awareness. Therefore this may not be the book for the skeptical scientist who requires scientific proof. However, I am a physician and I found this book very helpful. It encouraged me to have a home birth. As a consequence of my natural deliverymy baby came out very strong and alert.
I highly recommend this book to those who want to focus on the spiritual and energetic aspects of their pregnancy and delivery, and especially to those who are committed to bringing their babies into this world alert and AWARE.
