5.0 out of 5 stars Great Information

As a healthcare professional, I am familiar with Merck for a variety of things, Information being one of the best products they produce, so when I became a puppy raiser for a guidedog association, I wanted a resource available to learn about the little species.
The book has been extremely helpful in helping me to focus on the issue presented by the animal and know what steps I need to take to solve the iss and when more professional help is needed. The book is is well laid out and easy to locate the information you seek. Covering dogs, cats & horses was a bonus that can be used by me and my daughter as well.

I HAVE USED THIS BOOK MANY TIMES FOR MANY TYPES OF ANIMALS. I HAVE DOGS, CATS, HORSES, GOATS, CHICKENS, TURKEY, DUCK, GEESE, ALPACAS AND POTBELLIED PIGS AND THIS BOOK COVERS ALL. IF THERE IS SOMETHING I AM JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS BOOK WILL BREAK IT DOWN SO I CAN. THE MOST VALUE I HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF IT THOUGH IS FOR POTBELLIED PIGS. THERE ARE NOT A WHOLE LOT OF BOOKS OUT THERE ON THEM AND THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS I HAVE FOUND IN HERE THAT I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE, INCLUDING THE INTERNET. IT SAVED MY PIGGIE, EVENTHOUGH I HAVE A VET FOR HER. GREAT BOOK WITH TONS OF INFORMATION FOR MANY PET SPECIES.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE BOOK FOR ALL ANIMAL LOVERS!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is what I call the Veternarian Bible. I dont think there is anything left out of this book. Informative, and educational. I do cat rescue and adoptions, and this book can potentially save you alot of money if there is a cat issue. Rather than going to the vet and having the vet guess at what the potential issue is, you can go in educated and say, could the cat have this, or that? This book is well worth it. I bought several other books, and they were all incredible. See my reviews for other books on animal care.

3.0 out of 5 stars Merck/Merial Manual for Pet Health
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2011
Verified Purchase
This manual is a case of adding the "complete" prefix to a (sub)title inappropriately. And, in this case, "complete" disguises the fact that the material is very general in nature. It's a case of biting off more than one can chew. Obviously, the book will not make one an instant veterinarian as there is neither enough specificity nor global information regarding any one species.

Having said all that it is a decent basic reference to have around the house for the usual questions (FAQs). It gives a general understanding of "the nature of the beast" without getting deeply technical. Which is what it is supposed to do. The only thing that truly annoyed me was the "cloned" information I found between the dog and cat sections. Duplication like this reminds me of tricks used by low-class authors to take up more space, as though their books are to be sold by the pound (weight, not English money).

Personally, I would much rather have one book on canines, one on felines, etc. Here, I have a big, thick book the information contained in which does me little good except, as I said, FAQs of a general interest nature and information regarding cats and dogs.

All in all, nice try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the over worrying pet owners out there
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2012
Verified Purchase
My mother in law once called my work (I work at a vet clinic) four times because my husband's cat was in for an ear cleaning. She called four times to ask if the ear cleaning would damage her ears or hurt her. So since she is an over-worrier, I thought this book would be just the ticket since it has all the information she needs on basic care of any pet she may ever own and it's written in everyday language so anyone can understand it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, but perhaps needs a new edition
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016
Verified Purchase
I love this book a lot, but my concern is that (from what I've seen) there is not an updated version of this. There is a lot of research out on different illnesses with pets now, and I think this book could benefit from coming out with a new edition. That being said, it's a great resource for general knowledge at home or in a vet's office. I love that they have a section included for large animals and exotics. I don't work with those directly, but I enjoyed reading up about it.

This text is a must have for pet owners in my opinion. You can avoid some costly vet visits when somethings just "off" with your pet. Also, you'll know when you have something more serious on your hands. It is well written and draws directly from the Merck Vet manual but in easy to read language. It would be nice if the species were broken down into separate volumes so you wouldn't be paying for a resource on animals you don't interact with.
