Dr. Baker has written a great guide to caring for your dog, and it’s as important for longtime owners as it is for new dog parents. In simple, clear terms (none of the Latin many pet authors use to fluff up their text), Dr. Baker outlines the essentials of dog care in ten 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 (including a tick identification guide); 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. Dr. Baker helpfully also includes links to her Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest accounts, as well as her personal website.
