About The Book

Did you know that just three ounces of baker’s chocolate can kill a 15-pound dog? Or that human medications are the number one cause of pet poisoning? Or that innocent snow globes are loaded with lethal antifreeze? For Dog's Sake! is a humorous yet absolutely essential book for dog owners. Why? Because every year thousands of dog owners unknowingly risk their dogs' lives—from accidental poisoning to household items to hot cars.

From poisons to allergies to hidden dangers and emergency first aid, For Dog's Sake! is a concise guide, whimsically illustrated and thoroughly entertaining dog safety book. A gold mine of information packed with infographics and ridiculously cute art, For Dog's Sake! is the dog owner's handbook that all dog lovers want and need. In addition to accidents and first aid, healthy tips on diet, exercise, and grooming round out this essential guide. A trustworthy (and adorable) source of life-saving information this book is accessible and easy to consult at a moment's notice.

Best of all, a portion of the proceeds will go directly to helping sick and injured rescue and shelter pets through Adopt-a-Pet.com's Veterinary Care Fund.
