Guide-Reviewed Items for Pets and Their People

Staying calm and being prepared can make the difference in an emergency situation, and this in-depth application will help on both counts. I would recommend not waiting for an emergency though; this is good reading and video-watching any time you find yourself with extra time on your hands.

The DAP collar was definitely worth it for my dog. I think DAP is something to consider for a variety of canine behavior problems, including: noise phobias, separation anxiety, territorial behaviors, new people or pets, car travel anxiety, and anytime there are "unpredictable" events that your dog may react to.

This is my review of "The Complete Healthy Dog Book" by Betsy Bervitz DVM. This book, published by Workman Publishing, spans almost 500 pages and covers everything dog-related, from puppyhood to senior dogs. Is this a useful guide for your bookshelf? Find out in this review.

The purpose of the book Speaking for Spot something I very much agree with; being a advocate for your pet. The goals are many: teaching people how to know when their pet is sick, find a veterinarian that works for your pet and you, informing people about medical procedures, diseases and conditions, straight talk about money, and finally, how and when to know it is "time" to say goodbye.

While I had heard of photo blankets, I had never seen one up close and personal. I submitted a photo of my pets, Herman the cat and Sophie the dog, to be made into a photo blanket. I was dismayed that I couldn't find a high resolution of this memorial photo, but was very pleased with the final results.

This book and CD are very affordable and a great value for those who love dogs and those who want to reduce stress. The information presented is an important introduction to thinking about sound and assessing the noise pollution in our everyday lives. I use the CD to calm my dog and to help me focus when I have work to do that requires a high level of concentration.

This CD is well worth a try for owners seeking to calm their dog during thunderstorms/fireworks, ease separation anxiety, and add some calm to stressfull environments such as boarding kennels.

This CD is worth a try for all canine car travelers, especially those dogs that are stressed even by the thought of a car trip. If medications can be avoided with this music and the behavior modification tips listed in the CD booklet, all the better for your dog's health.

Geared for the RV traveler, this book would be a worthwhile addition to the library of anyone who travels frequently with their pets. This book may be redundant for those travelers who have an Internet-enabled cell phone or other web device, but it will always 'work'; no internet connection necessary!

This book review features a book that is subtitled "a training guide for humans". That is a good description - this book is a wonderful "training guide"! Learn why dogs do what they do, and hopefully build a better bond with your dog.
