When I was approached about reviewing this book, I had recently adopted three cats; one adult and two kittens. I already knew I love National Geographic books for their comprehensiveness and beautiful photographs. It was a win-win!

Complete Guide to Pet Health, Behavior, and Happiness is replete with a veterinarian’s advice on health, behavior, and training for cats, dogs, and other domestic animals. This book is a wonderful reference to have on hand when you have a concern.

Dr. Gary Weizmann, DVM, writes in an approachable and easy-to-read style. I LOVE that he is the president of the San Diego Humane Society (we adopted our cats from our local humane society).

My favorite aspects of the book are the tips about when to take your pet to the vet. I tend to err on the side of worry, and I have been known to needlessly take my cats to the vet. Who wants to do that? The cats definitely don’t want to go!
