About this title

Synopsis

Puppies add life to any home and may even prolong our own lives. But the cuddliness comes with questions: Which puppy is right for you? Wet or dry food? Crate or gate? When teaching a puppy manners, is it “down” or “off”? Enter Puppy Care—a comprehensive, visually organized road map to everything from selecting a puppy and bringing one home to training the new family member, as well as such practicalities as health care and behavior, cost, and nutrition. Practicing vet Joan Capuzzi, VMD, guides you down the exciting but unpredictable journey of puppyhood on your way to a healthy, well-socialized, mature adult dog.

Four hundred full-color photos covering:

• Choosing a puppy
• Supplies
• Potty training 101
• Health
• Teething and chewing
• Food
• Training exercises
• Grooming
