As a pediatrician, parent and dog owner I applaud Dr Lewis Kirkham’s comprehensive, practical and well organised approach to introducing a new baby to a resident dog. I thoroughly recommend Dr Lewis Kirkham’s book to all expectant parents who own a dog, it is, perhaps mandatory reading.

As a veterinarian I was hoping with this book that I had at last found a guide I could recommend to my expecting clients and I wasn’t disappointed!. The book has been written with easy to follow chapters, that means the average dog owner that is starting their family can get a great understanding of the changes and potential problems they may encounter. This is a book that every dog owner who is expecting should read and have in their home.
