Editorial Reviews
Review
“This book addresses a very important practical issue for pet buyers, breeders and veterinarians: variation between breeds in liability to disease … [The authors] have done a very good job in assembling a wealth of information in a form that is readily accessible for veterinarians and for present or future pet owners.” ( Australian Veterinary Journal)
