You will also find all of those common canine health problems here—
covered completely and comprehensively. And, whatever troubles your dog,
you will find it described clearly and have a variety of treatment options to
discuss with your veterinarian.
As an editor, it’s always an honor to work on a book that is already a classic in
its field and will continue to be one. I also had the pleasure of working on the
third edition with Dr. James Giffin. Because I was involved, I tend to look at
that edition very critically. I have spent seven years wishing there were things
we had done differently. At last, I have my chance. In this edition, the crossreferences
are easier to use, the index is expanded, there’s an index of charts
and tables, and overall, when you come home with your dog from the veterinarian’s
office full of questions, it’s easier to find what you are looking for.
