Review
"Susan McCullough tells you what you want to know. She even tells you stuff you never thought of. In Your New Dog, McCullough uses a question-and-answer format to address basic dog care, feeding, grooming, health, and behavior, as well as answer sticky questions like what happens when you fall for a puppy your partner doesn't want." -- Dog Fancy
"Award-winning writer and pet expert Susan McCullough draws upon her many years of experience and expertise in 'Your New Dog: An Expert Answers Your Every Question.' A first-rate introduction to nuances of acquiring a canine family pet, ranging from how to know if one is ready for a new dog, to dealing with health issues, feeding, grooming, and exercising one's new pet, house training, and more, 'Your New Dog' is highly recommended as a superb primer for its candid canine wisdom, direct and simple instructions, and the showcasing of a true love for animals."
Midwest Book Review, November, 2003
"This is the perfect book for anyone who is thinking about getting a dog, but hasn't yet decided on whether they want a pure bred or a mixed breed, or whether they will visit a breeder, or try a rescue group, or adopt from the nearest shelter. It's also a wonderful book for the complete novice, the person who has never had a dog. McCullough discusses every step of getting a new dog.....McCullough has chapters on feeding, grooming, exercising and training your dog, as well as a chapter on health. The first half of each chapter is clear, solid advice on the chapter topic and the second half a question and answer format.....In one chapter, McCullough also breaks down each of the American Kennel Club groups, so that the reader knows which dogs are small, medium, or large in each group. If you've fallen in love with the idea of getting a terrier, for instance, McCullough's list can help you decide just how big you want that terrier to be.
I'd recommend both of these books. Your New Dog covers the practical side of the relationship and how to keep your dog healthy and happy as you develop that very important bond."
