Your Dog Will Love You For This!

Dog Lover's Daily Companion is a great book for dog lover's the world over. This book is packed with info, tips, and lots more. Great thoughtful gift to give to the Dog Lover in your life. I highly recommend this book!

Worth every single penny and more

I can't tell you how cool this book is, cooking, teaching, how to make a dog house - everything. I've bought 3 and given them to people. I've read it front to back. It's cute, helpful, entertaining, cheap and just completely worth it. I highly recommend it.

Phoebe and Scrappy love this book!

I'm a sucker for dog books...and this one did not dissapoint! Most daily companions offer quick little bites of inspiration...but this goes way beyond that. Each and every day (and you don't have to follow a calendar year!) there's tons of information to read--including fun treat recipes, saftey & health tips, training solutions, insights into my pups' naughty behavior and suggestions for fun things for us all to do together. It's really more like an encyclopedia for dog owners. "Stop Problem Barking" is the page i go back to the most!

Entertaining, Educational and Fun

What a great book! It's got a lot of great advice combined with fun true stories that any owner can relate to. Great tips on don'ts (after 6 years with our English Bulldog, even I didn't know some of these things - scary!) as well as do's! And suggestions on fun, novel activities. It's a great format for someone with little free time - each page is a new subject. I'll pick this up with I have 5 minutes to read and find myself still reading an hour later.
