    Handy little book for the hunting or working dog. Small enough to keep in your hunting kit or glove box. Complete enough for most everyday situations.

    Everyone should know some first aid. But, what about for our dogs? This book will give you the basics of what to do. A must have for everyone who Hunts, does Competition or just owns a dog.

    February 12, 2014
    Could use an update to reflect new products on the market, but the content is still relevant. Covers many more topics than the companion dvd. It does not go into great detail, but is exactly what it claims to be, a first-aid guide that gives you enough info to save your dog and get you to a qualified vet. I would purchase it again if I were to lose it.
