Dr. Baker has written a great guide to caring for your dog, and it’s as important for longtime owners as for new dog parents. In simple, clear terms (no Latin), Dr. Baker outlines the essentials of dog care in nine chapters: Best Nutrition; Keeping Your Dog at a Healthy Weight; Fun Exercise Options for Your Dog; Taking Care of Your Dog’s Teeth; Protecting Your Dog from Fleas & Ticks; Protecting Your Dog from Heartworm Disease; Keeping Your Dog’s Ears Clean; The Right Vaccinations for Your Dog; Tips and Tricks for Giving Medications to Your Dog; and Important Information to Take to Your Dog’s Veterinarian Visit. As an added benefit, Dr. Baker helpfully includes links to her social media accounts, as well as her personal website.
