The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH AND NUTRITION

When Nikita was a pup the gardener (we fired him) put out some snail bait where he could get to it and he scarfed it down fast. Fortunately, we noticed his strange behavior right away and rushed him to the vet. Everything turned out OK. If I'd had internet access at the time and knew about this site, I would saved a bunch of time, money and anxiety.

With a 24-hour internet link and phone number for animal poisoning emergencies, plus lots of info on preventing and treating animal poisoning, and more, The National Animal Poison Contol Center, A Division of the ASPCA.

The Straight Poop featured DOG BOOK

A reader wrote: "I got the book as a Christmas gift and found myself transported to warm memories of pets, past, present and future. I found the book to be like looking in someone's emotional diary; sharing their most intimate, special moments fully with a beloved pet. I bought ten copies of the book and gave it as a new millennium gift to all the pet lover's in my life and I'm proud to report that the praises, thank you's and high-fives keep coming my way. If you love your pets like family, and are tired of fiction or stories of gloom and doom, add this book to your shopping cart!"

Chicken Soup for the Cat and Dog Lover's Soul - Celebrating Pets as Family with Stories About Cats, Dogs and Other Critters, by Jack Canfield (Editor)
