Pet ER guide
This looks like it might be handy to have around (and to carry around).
Informed Publishing based in Oregon has come out with a Pet Emergency Pocket Guide, providing quick access to information pet owners often need on the spur of the moment.
From the company's press release:
"This compact 3x5 guide delivers step-by-step guidelines to help pet owners care for their pets daily, and be prepared so they can respond quickly and confidently in the event of a pet injury, illness or emergency."
The guide includes photos and illustrations, a pet travel check list along with a complete section on traveling safely with your pet, and a natural disaster preparation section.
Included are CPR and Heimlich how-to instructions; information on general care such as grooming; lists of the most common poisonous and toxic foods; how to create pet emergency kits; pet record pages to document a pet's allergies, vaccinations and surgeries.
The guide is sold at $16.95 retail but also is available in a new Mobile Edition format for $9.95.
Call them at 888-624-8014 or visit their Web site -- www.informedguides.com. They're also available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble online and in bookstores.
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
