“Fun tips and tricks on helping pet parents bring their furry
friends along for a summer vacation.” –Health Magazine
"I recommend this book very highly for a first time pet owner, for
anyone adopting a new pet, or for a pet owner who wants to learn
more about day to day behavior training and first aid. It
would also be a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves cats or dogs!"
–View from the Birdhouse
“If you have a companion animal in your life or, even if you are
considering bringing one into your life this would be a great
resource for you to have.” –Ms. Nose in a Book
“This book is a wonderful reference to have on hand when you have a
concern…My favorite aspects of the book are the tips about when to
take your pet to the vet…I’m grateful to have some advice on where
to draw the line.” –Jennifer – Tar Heel Reader
“If you read this book from cover to cover, you’re going to learn
everything you need to know about becoming a responsible pet
owner…Best of all, Weitzman infuses each page with warmth and wit
as he addresses our most pressing (and perplexing) questions. It’s
kind of like having a house call from the family vet…Think of it
as What to Expect When You’re Expecting for the pet
parent set. There are so many things that we should ask, but don’t,
and Weitzman does a stellar job of addressing those questions
before they become a serious issue.” –Jathan and Heather
“The guide, like anything you’d expect National Geographic to put
out, is beautifully illustrated. Learn how to keep pets safe, what
kind of vet care they need, and how to make sure your furry family
member is living his or her best life.” –Wining Wife
“It is brilliant and I think it deserves a place on the bookshelf
of every pet owner.” –Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
“This is a great book for us with fur babies!” –Instagram:
