In "Speaking for Spot" Dr. Nancy Kay taught us why we need to be
medical advocates for our pets and how to fulfill this important
role. In "Your Dog's Best Health" she takes us to the next level by
spelling out what is reasonable to expect from your vet. The book's
clear, humor-laden content focuses on "relationship centered care,"
a style of communication that facilitates collaborative discussion
with your vet about your dog's diet, vaccinations, second opinions,
referral for specialized care, your Internet research, and medical
and financial options. Additionally, Dr. Kay teaches you to expect
round-the-clock care, email communication with your vet, and the
opportunity to be with your beloved pet when he or she passes away.
The last chapter of "Your Dog's Best Health" is reserved for
clarifying what your veterinarian reasonably expects from you What
you learn will result in a win-win-win situation for you, your dog,
and your veterinarian. Visits to the vet will never be the same
This book is filled to the brim with new and wonderfully practical
information and advice. In her usual direct and humorous style, Dr.
Kay has once again established herself to be a stellar advocate for
successful communication between pet owners and their vets.

Brilliant Everyone who has a dog should have a copy of this concise
and useful book. Dogs (and vets) everywhere will thank Dr. Nancy
for writing it.
--Patricia B. McConnell, PhD, CAAB, Author, "The Other End of the
Leash" and "For the Love of a Dog" So many of the complaints I hear
from family members and friends about their veterinarians could be
prevented if only these dog-loving consumers read I. Put into
practice, Dr. Kay's sensible and informed advice about achieving a
dozen reasonable things to expect from your vet can help any
guardian get the most value for their veterinary health care
dollar. Importantly, Dr. Kay's advice will also protect and
preserve the lines of communication and trust between the
veterinarian and his client, thus maximizing the benefits to the
all-important patient.
--Nancy Kerns, Editor, The Whole Dog Journal The author of I has
done it again Dr. Nancy Kay pulls no punches as she educates us
about what we are entitled to as consumers of veterinary medicine.
This book belongs on the shelves of dog lovers everywhere. Dr. Kay
continues to be our best friend when it comes to advocating for our
dogs' health. We have a lot to thank her for
--Claudia Kawczynska, Editor, The BARK Magazine There is no one in
the veterinary world today advocating more powerfully for clear
communication between pet owner and veterinarian than Dr. Nancy
Kay. In I she cuts through misconceptions and false assumptions to
lay out a simple blueprint to guide vet and owner to an effective
working relationship and the best possible outcome for every
dog.
--Christie Keith,"Your Whole Pet" Columnist, San Francisco
Chronicle/SFGate.com Few veterinarians have the credentials, skill
and knowledge of Dr. Nancy Kay, and fewer still have the gift for
sharing what they know to help pet lovers get the best care for
their animals. A paragraph by Dr. Kay is worth a celebration.
Another book? A bargain at any price, full of passion, compassion
and easy-to-understand knowledge you can use to work with your own
veterinarian.
