Gundog Health and Welfare

Gundog Health and Welfare aims to provide concise guidance for those who aspire to acquire a healthy puppy as well as existing owners of gundogs so they might be reasonably informed on how best to ensure their dogs live healthy, happy, active lives and are able to assure their immediate care should they become ill or injured. The book covers: keeping your puppy healthy and introducing him to the outside world; reducing the risks of injury and disease; first aid in the field; recognising and dealing with illnesses and caring for the older dog. This book will be of interest to gundog owners and breeders, veterinary students and nurses. Fully illustrated with 190 colour photographs.
