About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2 This informational book provides a reassuring picture for young pet owners of a trip to the vet's. A little girl takes her Cairn Terrier to the veterinarian for his annual check-up. The vet is gentle and explains to Minal what he is doing to her dog and why. He checks Silver's weight, eyes, mouth, ears, breath, and heart, along with his skin, hair, hind parts, and temperature. He takes a blood sample and gives Silver two shots. The dog is in perfect condition, except for ``some extra Silver'': ``Dogs often become overweight, so be careful,'' cautions Dr. Kuhlman. Color photographs illustrate the text well and add a warm touch to the story. Appended to the end of the book is an exemplary page of clear, simple tips for pet owners on ways to make trips to the vet's easier and more comfortable for themselves and their animals.
