Long in the Tooth

I think this is a worthwhile book to own even though its 1996 publishing date makes it a bit dated. It's worth adding to one's collection, but because of some shortcomings should not be the only book of its type on one's shelf.
by English vet; limited usefulness for American dog owners

This dog care book is well written and illustrated but written for an English audience rather than American. Differences in language can be confusing: for example "animal-care assistants" are refered to as "unqualified". In US English, "unqualified" means "incompetent". In the Queen's English, "unqualified" means that one has not been admitted to a profession (eg: vet). More serious problems in the book include the ommission of some diseases that occur in the US, such as "corona virus", a potentially greater killer of puppies. Also, this book has NO information whatever on spaying or neutering a dog. In the US, almost all responsible persons spay or neuter, and the surplus dog population mainly comes from irresponsible low-lifes. In contrast, in England it is much less common for even responsible persons to spay or neuter. Indeed, some vets consider it quite immoral.
