Customer Reviews

Good intro to new puppy owners

This is a nice little book for new puppy owners. Having owned dogs most of my life, I knew a lot of the information, but since I haven't owned a puppy in many years, I thought this would be a nice refresher course. It was. I had forgotten some of the things this book covers, but some of it seemed obvious.

What You Need to Know

This addition to Howell's "Your Happy Healthy Pet" series is filled with information, advice, and full-color photographs to help the new puppy owner take proper care of his or her pet. It covers such topics as What Your Puppy Needs, Puppy-Proofing Your Home, Keeping Your Puppy Healthy, Training Your Puppy, and much more.

The Best Puppy Raising Advice Book!

Before I adopted my puppy, I bought several puppy care books, including this one. This book was by far the best. In the section covering "what to expect from your growing pup" the author tells us what to expect from our puppy at different ages throughout puppyhood. She was right on point. I lived by this book when my puppy was growing, and referred back to it when I adopted my second dog. There is also a wonderful section about healthcare and first aid which helps us deal with day to day healthcare issues, and helps identify which matters require a vet's care and which ones can be taken care of at home. I refer back to this book quite often. I have also purchased this book as a gift for several friends and family members as each took a puppy into their family. This book is an indispensible tool in raising a puppy.
