Summary: Invaluable Resource!
Review: Amy D. Shojai is the author of 16 pet books, and a nationally known writer of pet care and behavior topics. In Shojai's latest book, PET CARE IN THE NEW CENTURY, [she] interviewed nearly 100 experts ... including members of the ACVS, ACVIM, and other speciality colleges. Never before has the veterinary profession been able to offer such amazing medical treatments and such a high level of preventative care. "I am amazed that a person can create a book that covers all aspects of modern veterinary care," says Robert A. Taylor, DVM, ACVS. "This book will prove to be an invaluable resource to companion animal lovers, students and the profession."

Summary: Worthwhile for Pet Lovers
Review: Here is an up-to-date reference book covering modern veterinary care. More than a hundred veterinarians, among them quite a few from Penn, explain many health and behavior conditions, arranged alphabetically . . . The appendix lists veterinary colleges in the United States and their websites. A specialist has completed additional training and is a "Diplomate" of a veterinary specialty college. The appendix gives contact information. The human-animal bond brings up ethical questions, which are thoughtfully covered. . . The difficult subject of genetics is briefly covered. This book covers many advances in veterinary medicine and shows you how to take advantage of them. It's a worthwhile addition to the library of dog and cat owners.

Summary: Incredible!
Review: Pet Care in the New Century is the most incredible book I own on pet care. I really love it. When Frisky got sick I was able to understand the issue with the bladder stones and to have really good discussions with my vet. He knows I do my research and your book made it much easier to talk with him about what was happening to Frisky. Sincerely, Nancy and Frisky

Summary: Incredible!
Review: This book is a must for any pet owner. I have an extensive collection of pet health books, and most of them do not contain the new, state-of-the-art medical and technological options that this one does. In addition to the newest information available, the book is inspiring for any pet owner facing illness, as various treatment options are easily explained in detail. It is also a terrific book to review before a veterinary visit so appropriate issues and questions can be addressed.
