Dear Librarian, There are more than 74 million pet dogs in the United States. Chances are, a large number of your patrons own one—and of course, it is quite likely you do, too! Everyone who counts a dog as a member of their family will want to read SPEAKING FOR SPOT: Be the Advocate Your Dog Needs to Live a Happy, Healthy, Longer Life. I am a huge believer in the value of medical advocacy. It ensures our active participation and results in educated decision-making. These days, we humans wouldn't dream of silently sitting by while the doctor scribbles a prescription and shows us the door—we ask questions, get second opinions, and compare treatment options. Doesn't your dog deserve the same careful attention to his medical care? SPEAKING FOR SPOT will take readers from vet-shy to advocacy pro: Vaccinations? Medication? Surgery? Anesthesia? Second opinions? Pet insurance? It's in there! Find advice for choosing the ideal veterinarian, paying for diagnostics and treatment, and making tough decisions about cancer and euthanasia. Plus, I've provided handy lists of common symptoms and diseases, along with the questions you should ask about them. Visit www.speakingforspot.com to read excerpts from the book, and enter to win one of five free autographed books and a personal phone consultation to discuss ways to advocate for your dog's health care needs. Thank you for supporting better health care for our four-legged friends, Dr. Nancy Kay Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine
