Excellent book to find help in.

This book came in the mail the day before we had to put our precious Abby (our Miniature Schnauzer) down do to total kidney failure. My husband and I were both devestated as she had been our baby for almost 12 years. We were trying to decide what we needed and wanted to do. This book was amazing in helping us with answers. We would of never thought to take her "brother" our Lab/Springer mix with us to the vet. The book said he needed to know that she was gone and not just wonder why she wasn't home and where she was. This book was hard reading at the time due to the subject matter we needed but I am thankful it was there to help us through. It's coming time when we may need the help again as our big boy is 12 years old now.

Excellent Resource

This book is an excellent resource and an easy read for anyone with a senior dog. It brings to an owner's attention many areas of aging in a pet similar to human aging. It also gives good advice on dealing with problems encountered with an aging pet.

Wonderful book!

This book just won a 2004 Maxwell award from the Dog Writers Association of America in the Book: care and health category, and with good cause. McCullough knows what she's talking about. She covers nutrition, exercise, health cost, typical diseases, what to expect, and - of course - a discussion on when is the best time to let your friend go. Housebreaking can be a problem for some seniors, and McCullough recommends bringing out the crate. Certain problems that seniors are prone to, such as going blind or deaf, are discussed, as well as how to help your dog cope. Her practicality and compassionate approach to canine senior citizens, who deserve to lounge about in the sunshine, comes through clearly. Much of what she says is common sense, but if you haven't experienced what happens to a senior dog, this book will really help you prepare, understand what is happening, and what you can do about it.

Get this book if you have an older dog!

This is a great resource! I have a 9 year old Sheltie with some health issues and I found this book to have terrific information specific to older dogs. It's a good read straight through or as a reference if you're just looking for information on a particular subject.
