Riassunto

Pet behavior problems are a leading cause of pet abandonment, relinquishment, abuse and neglect. As a reliable and educated source, veterinarians must help guide their clients in the right direction. Blackwell's Five-Minute Veterinary Consult Clinical Companion: Canine and Feline Behavior facilitates veterinarians in counseling clients and treating small animal behavior problems.

As part of the popular Blackwell's Five-Minute Veterinary Consult series, this unique manual is designed as a quick reference for veterinarians and students alike. Information is readily available in a practical and easy-to-use format, with topics organized alphabetically for easy reference. Coverage includes typical problem behaviors in dogs and cats, such as various types of aggression, anxiety, fear, soiling and marking, vocalizing, and destructive behaviors. Appendices provide additional resources on psychopharmacology, learning and behavior modification, and client handouts, which can be downloaded electronically for easy use.

Recensione:

"Would I recommend this text as an addition to a clinic library? Absolutely. As a quick reference and a great synopsis of behavioral problems, it's tough to beat." (The Canadian Veterinary Journal, December 2008)
 
"An extremely detailed overview of 64 of the most common behavior problems, including 22 types of aggression. Despite its ambitious content, the book lives up to its 'five minute' claim. This is impressive considering that many training books devote hundreds of pages to one of these subjects. For breeders, rescue organizations or anyone normally engaged in advising pet owners about training and behavior, it's well worth the price." (DogWorld)
 
"This book will help the veterinarian provide guidance to clients on the myriad of behavioral problems presented to the practice. A CD-ROM with behavior handouts rounds out the usefulness of this book. ... Well organized and thorough. I recommend it for any clinic library." (Veterinary Information Network)
 
"A manual perfect for practicing vets and college-level students." (Midwest Book Review)
