The New Puppy
A vet's quick reference for your puppy's first year
Everything I go over at puppy visits, in one place you can flip open at 2 a.m.: what's normal at each age, why the shots come in a series, potty and crate training, and when something needs a call. Quick answers up front, the whole why if you want it.

The licking, the chewing, the ears that keep coming back. It's everything I explain about itchy dogs in the exam room, with time to actually read it: what's driving the itch, which treatments are worth the money, and how to keep a flare from turning into a skin infection.
