Pets, Part of the Family: The Total Care Guide for All the Pets in Your Life

This book is pretty good for being such a broad range of species and an all around type of book.In spite of the fact it touches on a good portion of subjects and problems from birth to death,it still manages to impart a lot of info needed. it benefits the multi-pet family the most and secondly the dog and/or cat owners.For it's genre , an all encompasssing pet care book, it does the job quite well.It is what is expected from Rodale press--balanced and a lot of info with some common sense added.I am a big dog person but I love other animals ,too.I think a fish,reptilian etc. owner would be disappointed in it. it truly is mostly for the dog + cat owner and a bit of bird and rabbit and ferret tips are in there....there are a few snake and lizardalso...but of course not as extensively. So, I would say any dog or cat owner will definitely like the book, especially the newer owners and the younger owners. it will also help one to decide WHICH pet is for you as you read and see the responsibilities of different pets.
