If you’re a pet owner, just as handy as a book concerning your own health is one that answers such questions as “Why shouldn’t you feed a dog chocolate?” and “Why does kitty walk around the house constantly ‘meeping?’ “

The answers are provided in “Is My Dog OK? How to Know … When Your Dog Won’t Say” and “Is My Cat OK? How to Know … When Your Cat Won’t Say,” by Albuquerque, N.M., veterinarian Jeff Nichol.
Nichol, whose sense of humor and love for pets makes these books informative and entertaining, has gathered questions from his practice and weekly newspaper column to create a valuable source book. Nearly every topic is covered, from diet, exercise, disease, breeding, seizures and dentistry to poop-eating pups and elderly, lethargic kitties.
Nichol is a strong proponent of feeding pets good pet food-not table scraps, which can cause health problems-as well as timely vaccinations and spaying or neutering. He gently takes to task those who neglect their pet’s care and lovingly praises owners who do their best. For the interested, involved pet owner, Nichol’s books are great resources.
