Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Nothing can replace home as the best and least-traumatic place to leave a dog when an owner goes away. And leaving a dog at home requires hiring a dog sitter to either stay at the house or come in periodically to care for them. This handbook is designed to offer owners peace of mind by informing the dog sitter about the peculiarities of a dog and its daily requirements, while also giving valuable information about general pet care. The easy-to-use handbook format lets the owner fill in appropriate information about their dog's food, walking schedule, toys, rules, favorite chair, medication, etc. The text of the book consists of an orientation on general dog behavior; tips on dealing with behavior problems; and what to do in case of an emergency. There is also a valuable section on how to give a dog medication, while also allowing the owner to write in specific directions, and a section on emergency medical care for dogs. This handbook minimizes a pet's stress when it is left in another's care, and gives owners peace-of-mind as their personal instructions and advise are clearly outlined and easy to follow.
