    Written by a veterinarian and long-distance sailor, Where There is No Pet Doctor is designed for people traveling with pets in areas where little or no veterinary care is available. This health manual is a must-have for backwoods or international travelers, sailors, people who focus on preparedness, and anyone spending substantial time in areas lacking veterinary services.

    “[W]hen it comes to health issues...it’s up to you to be your pet’s common sense.”

    — Where There Is No Pet Doctor

    Where There Is No Pet Doctor addresses the ways that you, as a pet owner with common sense and a few skills, may be able to treat your dog or cat until professional care is available, or provide emergency, life-saving treatment, if needed.

    The book includes a rating system to gauge various procedures according to both degree of difficulty and possible risk to the pet. Suggested lists of drugs and supplies are also included, along with a drug formulary that gives proper dosages for many medications found in human medical kits.
